Open Configuration › Orbit connections. It has one card for each of Orbit's other satellites, for the space you are in.
What the badges mean
Every card has one of these badges, the same in every satellite:
- Working: the connection is on, or needs nothing from you. The card lists what flows each way and where to change it.
- Ready to set up: the connection is set up on this page or one click away. The card has the button or switch for it.
- Set up in another satellite: the switch lives in the other satellite, and this one can't see whether it is on. Open takes you to the exact page.
- Nothing to connect yet: the two satellites don't share anything yet. The card says what to do instead, where there is something.
- Not in your organisation: your organisation doesn't have that satellite. Add it in Orbit opens your organisation's Billing in Orbit, where an owner can start a free trial.
The line at the top counts them, such as "2 working · 1 ready to set up", and the cards are sorted the same way. Each card lists what comes From the other satellite, what goes Into it, and what works Both ways.
Orbit connections are only links between Orbit's own satellites. Outside services, such as Stripe, MAM, Sendcloud, Twilio, review sites or your own website, are set up elsewhere in each satellite.
