Payment orchestration transforms how merchants manage transactions by seamlessly integrating multiple payment service providers (PSPs), acquirers, and payment methods through a single, unified platform. At its core, this intelligent system operates through two complementary mechanisms:
Payment Routing
Smart algorithms analyze each transaction in real-time to determine the optimal payment path based on critical factors including processing speed, transaction cost, risk profile, and regulatory compliance requirements. This intelligent routing between banking networks not only accelerates processing times but significantly reduces decline rates by dynamically selecting the most efficient pathway for each unique transaction.
Payment Cascading
When primary payment routes fail, cascading automatically redirects transactions to alternative providers, creating a reliable safety net for handling soft declines. This strategic sequencing of fallback options ensures successful payment processing without disrupting the customer experience.
