PAYMENT ORCHESTRATION / AI OPTIMIZATION

Multiple payment channels.
One point of control.

Connect PSPs, acquiring banks and payment methods through one interface. Coordinate routing, recovery and channel operations around the performance your business needs.

Route each payment with context.

Routing dimensionDecision context
Country & currencyMatch the customer market and transaction currency to an eligible payment connection.
Card typeConsider supported card categories and the capabilities of the available acquiring channels.
Transaction amountApply the relevant channel limits and amount-based routing conditions.
Success rateUse observed channel performance to inform transaction allocation.
Processing costCompare the cost of eligible routes alongside payment performance.
Risk levelKeep channel selection aligned with the transaction risk assessment and authentication strategy.
03 / AI SUCCESS OPTIMIZATION

Adapt the payment strategy
as performance changes.

Use real-time transaction performance to inform routing and recovery decisions within your configured controls.

01

Route selection

Adjust the distribution of eligible transactions as performance changes across available connections.

02

Dynamic 3DS

Align authentication decisions with transaction context, risk and applicable requirements to reduce unnecessary friction.

03

Retry timing

Refine the timing of eligible recovery attempts rather than treating every failed payment the same way.

04

Channel priority

Reassess the order of available channels using performance, cost and operational constraints.

04 / AUTOMATIC FAILOVER

Keep an alternative ready
when a channel is unavailable.

Detect channel disruption and direct eligible new attempts to a configured backup connection to reduce payment interruptions.

01

Detect

Identify unavailability, abnormal response times or other configured health signals.

02

Reassess

Check the outcome of any in-flight request before deciding whether another attempt is appropriate.

03

Switch

Use an eligible backup channel that supports the transaction and your routing constraints.

04

Review

Monitor recovery and reassess the preferred channel when normal service resumes.

A timeout does not establish that a payment failed. Resolve uncertain outcomes before retrying to avoid duplicate charges.

05 / FAILED-PAYMENT RECOVERY

Recover the opportunity.
Respect the payment outcome.

Apply a recovery path appropriate to the decline reason, customer relationship and enabled payment capabilities.

01

Soft-decline recovery

Distinguish potentially recoverable declines from final outcomes. Follow the required authentication or retry path for eligible transactions.

02

Subscription retries

Coordinate retry timing for enabled recurring-payment flows with customer consent, billing rules and account-access policies.

03

Account updates

Use supported account-updater capabilities to keep eligible stored-payment information current.

04

Alternative methods

Offer another enabled payment method when appropriate, giving the customer a clear choice rather than silently changing the payment.

06 / UNIFIED CHANNEL MANAGEMENT

Organize your connections.
Keep configuration consistent.

Manage payment-channel configuration in one operating view, with the commercial and technical context needed to route transactions.

PSP & acquiring connections

Identify the provider, channel and configuration associated with each connection.

Merchant IDs

Associate MIDs with the approved business entity and the relevant channel setup.

Rates & limits

Maintain the cost inputs and transaction limits used when evaluating eligible routes.

Countries & currencies

Define which markets and currencies each connection can serve.

Compare cost and performance together.

MeasureWhat it helps you understandComparison context
Authorization rateHow often payment attempts receive authorization.Use the same attempt definition and comparable transaction segments.
Processing costThe cost associated with a channel or payment flow.Include the relevant charges and currency-conversion treatment.
Refund rateThe proportion of transactions or value refunded.Keep the reporting window and volume/value basis consistent.
Chargeback rateDisputes associated with a channel’s transactions.Account for reporting lag and differences in merchant or customer mix.
Response timeHow quickly the channel returns a response.Review slow responses and timeouts alongside average latency.
08 / FLEXIBLE RULES ENGINE

Change the routing logic.
Keep the integration stable.

Configure routing through visual rules instead of repeatedly changing application code. Define the conditions, eligible channels and fallback order for your approved setup.

ILLUSTRATIVE ROUTING RULE

THENUse the preferred eligible channel
IF UNAVAILABLEEvaluate the configured backup

This example explains the decision structure; it is not a live routing configuration.

09 / ARCHITECTURE & MIGRATION

One integration.
Connected payment channels.

Your merchant system connects to AIPower Pay, which coordinates the available payment connections and returns transaction outcomes.

A phased migration approach

  1. Map the current setup. Inventory providers, MIDs, methods, currencies and operational dependencies.
  2. Agree the target flow. Define the interfaces, routing controls and transaction references to retain.
  3. Validate in test. Check normal outcomes, authentication, refunds, failover and duplicate-event handling.
  4. Introduce traffic in stages. Agree initial scope, monitoring and rollback criteria before increasing coverage.
  5. Reconcile and review. Confirm order, payment and settlement records remain aligned throughout migration.

Available connections, rule controls and recovery paths depend on merchant configuration, provider support and the agreed service scope.
