# What you can adjust on the receiving connection

> A single field on this screen is editable — and it exists so that payment notices arrive. The rest is read-only.

## What you will get

Understanding why almost nothing on this screen is editable, and setting up
correctly the one thing that is.

**The account ID, the connection date, the mode and the payment methods are
read-only.** That is not a limitation: those values come from the receiving
account, and changing them here would change nothing there.

## The field you fill in

The only editable field is `Webhook Secret`. It is the password EduPay uses to
be sure a payment notice really came from the payment service, and not from
someone else.

Without it, a fake notice could mark an installment as paid when nobody paid.
That is why it exists.

**Where to get it:** the screen itself says — *"Obtain it in Stripe Dashboard >
Webhooks"*. It is a value starting with `whsec_`.

## The address you copy over there

Right below the field comes your school's `Webhook URL`. It is the address the
payment service must notify when a student pays, and it **contains your
school's identifier inside it**.

Copy exactly what is on the screen. A wrong address produces no error anywhere:
the notice simply never arrives, and paid installments stay open forever.

## Step by step

**1. Open `Integrations › Payment Gateway`.**

**2. Copy the address shown under the field.**

**3. Register that address in the Stripe dashboard** and take the value it
gives back.

**4. Paste the value into the field and click Save settings.**

## How to know it worked

> [certo]
> The screen switches to **Settings** and the message
> `Configurações do gateway atualizadas.` appears at the top.

**This surprises almost everyone:** the button saves and takes you to another
screen instead of returning you to the receiving one. It is not an error — the
value was saved.

To check, go back to `Integrations › Payment Gateway`. The field shows empty
again, because values of this kind are not displayed after being stored. Saving
over it replaces the previous one.

## A serious warning about this button

**Clicking Save settings with the field empty erases the password already
stored.** And the field is always empty when you open the screen.

In practice: if you come in here for any reason and click save, receiving
**stops settling on its own** — and nothing on screen warns you. The badge still
says **Connected**, **Test connection** still says everything is fine, charges
still go out. Only payment stops being recognised.

**The rule, until this is fixed:** only click **Save settings** when you have
just pasted a password into the field. Never click it "just to check".

This is logged as a defect and will be fixed.

## How to know it is actually working

There is no "test the notice" button. The real proof is the first paid
installment that turns to **Paid** on its own, with nobody recording anything.

If after setting this up you still have to record payments by hand, the address
or the value is wrong.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **I saved and saw no confirmation.** You probably did not notice the screen
> change. The message appears under **Settings**, not here.
>
> **The field is empty after saving.** That is the expected behaviour.
>
> **I cannot find the Save settings button.** Your account is a team account —
> the whole editing box only appears for whoever administers the EduPay account.
