For non required fields, you can either omit from the JSON string or set it to a default value
(e.g. String = "", Integer/Double = 0, Boolean = false, DateTime = 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z)

This sample code is to generate a function leveraging existing core functions you've already built.
func getAPIKit() -> (url: String, dict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>) {
var cards_accepted = ""
var statement_company = ""
var accept_credit = false
var accept_ach = false

var created_on = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
var processor_status = ""
let url = "https://api.peoplevine.com/transaction.asmx/createPaymentProcessor"
let key = "processor"
let processorDict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = ["cards_accepted": cards_accepted, "statement_company": statement_company, "accept_credit": accept_credit, "accept_ach": accept_ach, "payment_processor_no": payment_processor_no, "processor": processor, "processor_login": processor_login, "processor_password": processor_password, "processor_key": processor_key, "processor_auth": processor_auth, "processor_url": processor_url, "company_no": company_no, "created_on": created_on, "processor_status": processor_status ]

return (url, finalDict)
}
To get started we reccomend that you download the Alamofire project to simplify integration: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire, in addition to SwiftyJSON: https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
