Resource Types

How Resource Types works in Paycux, what it is for, and the smallest setup that gets it running.

Introduction

Resource Types is part of the Paycux platform. This page explains what it does, when to reach for it, and the smallest working setup you can ship.

Everything below applies to both environments. Build and test in staging, then promote the same configuration to production without changing your code — only the API key and client ID differ.

What makes a resource type

What makes a resource type is handled by Resource Types rather than by your application code. Paycux exposes it through the same API surface as the rest of the platform, so the client you already configured needs no additional setup.

Configuration lives in the dashboard and is versioned per environment. Change it in staging, confirm the behaviour, then apply the same change to production.

Designing your hierarchy

Paste the provider's metadata URL into the connection. Paycux reads the signing certificate and endpoints from it and re-reads them on a schedule, so a certificate rotation does not break the connection.

Static metadata

If the provider only offers a metadata file rather than a URL, upload the XML instead. Static metadata does not auto-refresh — set a calendar reminder for the certificate expiry date.

Examples for different products

Examples for different products is handled by Resource Types rather than by your application code. Paycux exposes it through the same API surface as the rest of the platform, so the client you already configured needs no additional setup.
