# Connections

Connect payment processors, anti-fraud providers and alternative payment methods according to your business needs.

## What is a connection

A *connection* represents the link between your store and an external service.

In DEUNA you can connect different payment providers:

* Payment gateways
* Alternative payment methods
* Anti-fraud engines

In DEUNA Admin, a connection allows you to integrate various types of solutions within your payment strategy.

The connections interface provides status information, including active, inactive, or disabled status for each connection.<br />

## Configure connections

Properly integrating your store with payment providers is key to your DEUNA strategy.
