Paycux Postman collection
How Paycux Postman collection works in Paycux, what it is for, and the smallest setup that gets it running.
Introduction
Paycux Postman collection 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.
Configuring Postman
Configuring Postman is handled by Paycux Postman collection 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.
Creating a fork
Creating a fork is handled by Paycux Postman collection 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.

Exporting the collection and environment
Exporting the collection and environment is handled by Paycux Postman collection 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.

Environment variables
Environment variables is handled by Paycux Postman collection 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.

Sending requests to the Paycux API
Sending requests to the Paycux API is handled by Paycux Postman collection 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.

Debugging requests
If something does not work, check these first — they cover the large majority of failed setups:
- The values were pasted into the wrong environment. Staging and production hold separate configuration.
- A trailing slash or stray whitespace in the ACS URL or redirect URI. Both are matched exactly.
- The connection is saved but not activated. An inactive connection returns
connection_inactive. - Attribute names differ from what the mapping expects, so the user is created without an email address.
Every failed authentication is recorded with a reason on the connection's page in the dashboard. Start there before reading application logs.
