Cloud Depot RPS can support multiple payment gateways, however only 1 gateway can be the preferred gateway for that customer at any one time.

The preferred billing method will be the primary method used for RPS payments its possible to support ACH/Direct Debit for RPS payments and credit card payments in the portal.

Gateway Customer Link

A Gateway Customer link is the relationship the RPS Customer has with the external Gateway. If no relationship exists an RPS Auto Payment will not function. 

Cloud Depot can create customers in your payment gateway and link them, this will happen when a customer makes a payment for the first time in the RPS payment portal.

To link a Cloud Depot customer to your Stripe customer, select Link this customer to gateway customer button

Credit Card

Customer card tokens can be downloaded from your payment gateway provider by clicking either the Link this customer button or Link Active button in the Gateway Customer Link tab to re-sync the customer cards.
