Either click on the three dots at the end of the profile row, and select 'Edit access profile'.

    • Edit the profile name or ID.
    • Disable the profile (or enable a store that was previously disabled).
Enable or disable a profile

If a profile is 'enabled' it means that it is active and allowed to trade.

If a profile is disabled, then it means the profile is inactive. The channel (e.g., a retailer POS) will not receive valid secrets, so transactions cannot be processed for that channel. You may wish to disable a channel when:

  • It is offline or undergoing maintenance.
  • It is decommissioned or not yet ready to trade.
  • You need to restrict access due to security concerns.

Toggle the Enable profile button at the bottom of the modal to change a channels's state between enabled and disabled as required.
