## Enable/Disable and Archive Connectors

### Enable/Disable Connectors

In case you want to immediately prevent transaction processing by a PSPs/Acquirer via a configured Connector, you can **Disable** the Connector. This can either be done in the Connector Overview itself by **switching** **off the Status Switch** or in the Connector Detail Overview in the Status section by **switching off the Enabled Switch**.

You can enable the Connector any time be enabling any of the above described Switches.

> **Note**

> Keep in mind that Connectors might be in use for [Transaction Routing](https://documentation.ixopay.com/manual/docs/connector/routing-cascading-balancing-fallback). We recommend to use a Fallback Connector to ensure Transaction Processing.

To keep the Connector Overview clean and tidy, you have the option to archive Connectors. This can be done in the Connector Detail Overview in the Status section by switching on the **Archived Switch**.

The archived Connectors are shown in the Archived Connectors tab and can be un-archived by disabling the **Archived Switch** in the Connector Detail Overview, Status section. The Status of the Connector (Enabled/Disabled) will be as before archiving.
