## Get started with Bancontact via 1Point6

### Before you begin

If this is your first payment method, make sure to follow the [Get started guide](/docs/get-started/overview) to begin processing payments with Primer.

### Configure in the Dashboard

1. **Add 1Point6 to your Dashboard**\

2. **Activate Bancontact via 1Point6 on the Checkout**\

3. **Configure a Workflow to process payments made with Bancontact**\
   Go to [Workflows](/docs/workflows), set up the **Authorization** step to process APMs. No need to add **Capture**. Finish the workflow with a **Continue payment flow** action.

### Prepare the client session

Bancontact via 1Point6 leverages the following parameters to process a payment. Pass them when creating the client session.

| Parameter Name | Required | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `metadata.payin_items` | ✓ | Pre-assembled array of payin items including `amount`, `reference`, `quantity`, `tax_rate`, and `transfers`. Must be assembled by TSPay — Primer's Metadata Mapper cannot produce arrays. |

### Testing in sandbox
