  2. You can:
    • Set a Primary Gateway: Designate one account as the default for transactions.
    • Re-Sync Account: Refresh the account connection with the gateway provider.
    • Disable Connection: Temporarily suspend the account connection.
    • Edit Gateway: Update login credentials or change the nickname.

Step 4: Using Multiple Gateways in Agent Capture Assist
