# Card payments

Accept card payments through Lynq Checkout after configuring your Ameriabank VPOS credentials.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request VPOS credentials from Ameriabank">
    Contact Ameriabank and request VPOS credentials for your merchant account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Card settings">
    In **Dashboard → Payment methods → Card**, select the test or live environment.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter and enable credentials">
    Enter the Terminal ID, username, and password supplied by Ameriabank. Save the connection, then enable Card payments.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the complete flow">
    Create a Payment Intent using keys from that same environment, complete Checkout, and confirm webhook delivery.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Checkout behaviour

Card details remain inside the hosted Checkout iframe; your page does not handle raw card numbers or security codes. Checkout handles any required customer authentication internally.

## Test and live setup

Test and live connections are independent. The secret key, publishable key, Payment Intent, Card connection, and webhook endpoint must belong to the same environment.

Return to **Dashboard → Payment methods → Card** to replace credentials, disable the method, or enable it again.
