Connect multiple payment providers through one orchestration layer and route transactions according to the rules, priorities and payment relationships that matter to your business.
Build intelligent routing, provider fallback, centralized visibility and reconciliation into a payment stack designed for greater control across complex processing environments.
Payment orchestration sits between your checkout experience and your supported payment providers, giving you a central layer for deciding how transactions should move through your stack.
Instead of managing routing decisions individually across every provider connection, orchestration creates a central place for payment logic, fallback strategies and transaction visibility.
Bring supported processors, gateways and acquiring relationships into one orchestration environment.
Configure routing priorities according to your business and processing strategy.
Review transaction activity from supported provider connections through a consolidated reporting workflow.
Different transaction portfolios can require different routing priorities. Use this interactive example to see how an orchestration strategy can change provider ordering.
This is a visual example only. Actual routing logic depends on your connected providers, commercial terms and approved configuration.
Provider ordering is structured around transaction performance and configured routing rules.
Create a more coordinated payment environment across multiple providers, transaction types and operational workflows.
Apply supported routing logic to choose between connected payment providers according to your transaction strategy.
ROUTING ENGINEConfigure alternate provider paths for eligible transactions when the preferred route cannot complete.
RESILIENCEBring supported transaction activity together so your team can compare payment performance across providers.
VISIBILITYOrganize multi-provider transaction data through a more centralized operational reporting workflow.
OPERATIONSCoordinate multiple supported provider relationships without building routing logic separately into every checkout flow.
MULTI-PROVIDERStructure routing around the payment, provider and business requirements applicable to your merchant profile.
ROUTING CONTROLCustomer submits payment.
Transaction rules evaluated.
Preferred route receives payment.
Alternative route can be attempted.
Payment outcome returns to checkout.
Transaction data enters reporting.
A payment begins at checkout, enters the orchestration layer and is evaluated against the routing logic configured for your payment environment.
The selected provider processes the transaction. Where configured and supported, an alternative route can be used when the preferred path is unavailable or unsuccessful.
A multi-provider strategy can give eligible transactions another route when the preferred payment provider is unavailable or cannot complete the transaction.
Fallback rules can be structured around the providers and conditions supported within your payment environment.
Transaction begins with the configured preferred route.
Payment outcome determines whether fallback logic applies.
Eligible payments can move to an available secondary path.
The resulting transaction status returns to the payment flow.
Multi-provider processing can create fragmented reporting. An orchestration layer can help centralize supported payment activity into a more consistent operational view.
Compare routing activity, provider usage and transaction outcomes without treating every provider relationship as an isolated reporting environment.
A gateway helps move a payment transaction. An orchestration layer helps determine how supported transactions should move across multiple provider relationships.
A payment gateway provides a connection between the checkout or payment interface and payment-processing infrastructure.
An orchestration layer coordinates routing logic across multiple supported processors, gateways or acquiring relationships.
Orchestration becomes especially relevant when a business has multiple payment relationships, recurring transactions or more complex routing requirements.
Businesses operating with more than one processor, gateway or acquiring relationship.
Subscription and membership businesses managing repeat payment relationships.
Merchants using different payment relationships across customer groups, markets or processing needs.
Eligible businesses whose provider relationships require additional payment-routing control.

Ask Our TeamPayment orchestration is a control layer that can sit between a checkout and multiple supported payment providers, helping determine where a transaction should be routed.
A gateway helps transmit payment information for processing. An orchestration layer adds routing logic across multiple supported payment-provider relationships.
Intelligent routing uses supported payment criteria and configured business rules to determine which provider path should receive a transaction.
Fallback routing allows an eligible payment to move to an alternative configured provider path when the preferred route cannot complete, subject to the rules of the payment setup.
Multi-provider connectivity is a core orchestration use case. Actual connectivity depends on which processors, gateways and integrations are supported by your configuration.
Not necessarily. An orchestration layer can coordinate supported provider relationships while the underlying providers continue to perform their respective payment-processing roles.
It can be particularly relevant for businesses using multiple payment providers, managing recurring payments, operating complex payment environments or needing centralized routing and reporting.
