NOTE: This guide is aimed at users and developers who wish to set up hyperswitch on their local systems and requires quite some time and effort. If you'd prefer trying out hyperswitch quickly without the hassle of setting up all dependencies, you can try out hyperswitch sandbox environment.
There are two options to set up hyperswitch on your system:
- Use Docker Compose
- Set up a Rust environment and other dependencies on your system
Check the Table Of Contents to jump to the relevant section.
Table Of Contents:
- Set up hyperswitch using Docker Compose
- Set up a Rust environment and other dependencies
- Try out our APIs
-
Install Docker Compose.
-
Clone the repository and switch to the project directory:
git clone https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch cd hyperswitch
-
(Optional) Configure the application using the
config/docker_compose.toml
file. The provided configuration should work as is. If you do update thedocker_compose.toml
file, ensure to also update the corresponding values in thedocker-compose.yml
file. -
Start all the services using Docker Compose:
docker compose up -d
-
Run database migrations:
docker compose run hyperswitch-server bash -c \ "cargo install diesel_cli && \ diesel migration --database-url postgres://db_user:db_pass@pg:5432/hyperswitch_db run"
-
Verify that the server is up and running by hitting the health endpoint:
curl --head --request GET 'http://localhost:8080/health'
If the command returned a
200 OK
status code, proceed with trying out our APIs.
This section of the guide provides instructions to install dependencies on Ubuntu-based systems. If you're running another Linux distribution, install the corresponding packages for your distribution and follow along.
-
Install the stable Rust toolchain using
rustup
:curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
When prompted, proceed with the
default
profile, which installs the stable toolchain.Optionally, verify that the Rust compiler and
cargo
are successfully installed:rustc --version
Be careful when running shell scripts downloaded from the Internet. We only suggest running this script as there seems to be no
rustup
package available in the Ubuntu package repository. -
Install PostgreSQL and start the
postgresql
systemd service:sudo apt update sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev systemctl start postgresql.service
If you're running any other distribution than Ubuntu, you can follow the installation instructions on the PostgreSQL documentation website to set up PostgreSQL on your system.
-
Install Redis and start the
redis
systemd service:sudo apt install redis-server systemctl start redis.service
If you're running a distribution other than Ubuntu, you can follow the installation instructions on the Redis website to set up Redis on your system.
-
Install
diesel_cli
usingcargo
:cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "postgres"
Once you're done with setting up the dependencies, proceed with setting up the database.
We'll be using Homebrew in this section of the guide. You can opt to use your favorite package manager instead.
-
Install the stable Rust toolchain using
rustup
:brew install rustup-init rustup-init
When prompted, proceed with the
default
profile, which installs the stable toolchain.Optionally, verify that the Rust compiler and
cargo
are successfully installed:rustc --version
-
Install PostgreSQL and start the
postgresql
service:brew install postgresql@14 brew services start postgresql@14
If a
postgres
database user was not already created, you may have to create one:createuser -s postgres
-
Install Redis and start the
redis
service:brew install redis brew services start redis
-
Install
diesel_cli
usingcargo
:cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "postgres"
If linking
diesel_cli
fails due to missinglibpq
(if the error message is along the lines ofcannot find -lpq
), you may also have to installlibpq
and reinstalldiesel_cli
:brew install libpq export PQ_LIB_DIR="$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib" cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "postgres"
You may also choose to persist the value of
PQ_LIB_DIR
in your shell startup file like so:echo 'PQ_LIB_DIR="$(brew --prefix libpq)/lib"' >> ~/.zshrc
Once you're done with setting up the dependencies, proceed with setting up the database.
-
Create the database and database users, modifying the database user credentials and database name as required.
export DB_USER="db_user" export DB_PASS="db_pass" export DB_NAME="hyperswitch_db"
On Ubuntu-based systems:
sudo -u postgres psql -e -c \ "CREATE USER $DB_USER WITH PASSWORD '$DB_PASS' SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN;" sudo -u postgres psql -e -c \ "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;"
On MacOS:
psql -e -U postgres -c \ "CREATE USER $DB_USER WITH PASSWORD '$DB_PASS' SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN;" psql -e -U postgres -c \ "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME"
-
Clone the repository and switch to the project directory:
git clone https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch cd hyperswitch
-
Run database migrations using
diesel_cli
:diesel migration --database-url postgres://$DB_USER:$DB_PASS@localhost:5432/$DB_NAME run
Once you're done with setting up the database, proceed with configuring the application.
The application configuration files are present under the
config
directory.
The configuration file read varies with the environment:
- Development:
config/Development.toml
- Sandbox:
config/Sandbox.toml
- Production:
config/Production.toml
Refer to config.example.toml
for all the available
configuration options.
Refer to Development.toml
for the recommended defaults for
local development.
Ensure to update the Development.toml
file if you opted
to use different database credentials as compared to the sample ones included in
this guide.
Once you're done with configuring the application, proceed with running the application.
-
Compile and run the application using
cargo
:cargo run
-
Verify that the server is up and running by hitting the health endpoint:
curl --head --request GET 'http://localhost:8080/health'
If the command returned a
200 OK
status code, proceed with trying out our APIs.
-
Sign up or sign in to Postman.
-
Open our Postman collection and switch to the "Variables" tab. Add the admin API key you configured in the application configuration under the "current value" column for the
admin_api_key
variable.- If you're running Docker Compose, you can find the configuration file at
config/docker_compose.toml
, search foradmin_api_key
to find the admin API key. - If you set up the dependencies locally, you can find the configuration
file at
config/Development.toml
, search foradmin_api_key
to find the admin API key
- If you're running Docker Compose, you can find the configuration file at

Open the "Quick Start" folder in the collection.
-
Open the "Merchant Account - Create" request, switch to the "Body" tab and update any request parameters as required.
- If you want to use a different priority order for choosing a payment
connector other than the provided default, update the
connectors_pecking_order
field present in thecustom_routing_rules
field to your liking.
Click on the "Send" button to create a merchant account. You should obtain a response containing most of the data included in the request, along with some additional fields. Store the merchant ID, API key and publishable key returned in the response securely.

Open the "Variables" tab in the Postman collection and add the following variables:
- Add the API key you obtained in the previous step under the "current value"
column for the
api_key
variable. - Add the merchant ID you obtained in the previous step under the "current
value" column for the
merchant_id
variable.
- Add the API key you obtained in the previous step under the "current value"
column for the

Follow the above steps if you'd like to add more payment connector accounts.
Ensure that you have set up your merchant account and set up at least one payment connector account before trying to create a payment.
-
Open the "Payments - Create" request, switch to the "Body" tab and update any request parameters as required. Click on the "Send" button to create a payment. If all goes well and you had provided the correct connector credentials, the payment should be created successfully. You should see the
status
field of the response body having a value ofsucceeded
in this case.- If the
status
of the payment created wasrequires_confirmation
, setconfirm
totrue
in the request body and send the request again.
- If the

Open the "Payments - Retrieve" request and click on the "Send" button (without modifying anything). This should return the payment object for the payment created in Step 2.
- Open the "Refunds - Create" request in the
"Quick Start" folder folder and switch to the "Body" tab.
Update the amount to be refunded, if required, and click on the "Send" button.
This should create a refund against the last payment made for the specified
amount.
Check the
status
field of the response body to verify that the refund hasn't failed. - Open the "Refunds - Retrieve" request and switch to the
"Params" tab.
Set the
id
path variable in the "Path Variables" table to therefund_id
value returned in the response during the previous step. This should return the refund object for the refund created in the previous step.
