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

Connect PSPs, acquiring banks and payment methods through one interface. Coordinate routing, recovery and channel operations around the performance your business needs.
| Routing dimension | Decision context |
|---|---|
| Country & currency | Match the customer market and transaction currency to an eligible payment connection. |
| Card type | Consider supported card categories and the capabilities of the available acquiring channels. |
| Transaction amount | Apply the relevant channel limits and amount-based routing conditions. |
| Success rate | Use observed channel performance to inform transaction allocation. |
| Processing cost | Compare the cost of eligible routes alongside payment performance. |
| Risk level | Keep channel selection aligned with the transaction risk assessment and authentication strategy. |
Use real-time transaction performance to inform routing and recovery decisions within your configured controls.
Adjust the distribution of eligible transactions as performance changes across available connections.
Align authentication decisions with transaction context, risk and applicable requirements to reduce unnecessary friction.
Refine the timing of eligible recovery attempts rather than treating every failed payment the same way.
Reassess the order of available channels using performance, cost and operational constraints.
Detect channel disruption and direct eligible new attempts to a configured backup connection to reduce payment interruptions.
Identify unavailability, abnormal response times or other configured health signals.
Check the outcome of any in-flight request before deciding whether another attempt is appropriate.
Use an eligible backup channel that supports the transaction and your routing constraints.
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.
Apply a recovery path appropriate to the decline reason, customer relationship and enabled payment capabilities.
Distinguish potentially recoverable declines from final outcomes. Follow the required authentication or retry path for eligible transactions.
Coordinate retry timing for enabled recurring-payment flows with customer consent, billing rules and account-access policies.
Use supported account-updater capabilities to keep eligible stored-payment information current.
Offer another enabled payment method when appropriate, giving the customer a clear choice rather than silently changing the payment.
Manage payment-channel configuration in one operating view, with the commercial and technical context needed to route transactions.
Identify the provider, channel and configuration associated with each connection.
Associate MIDs with the approved business entity and the relevant channel setup.
Maintain the cost inputs and transaction limits used when evaluating eligible routes.
Define which markets and currencies each connection can serve.
| Measure | What it helps you understand | Comparison context |
|---|---|---|
| Authorization rate | How often payment attempts receive authorization. | Use the same attempt definition and comparable transaction segments. |
| Processing cost | The cost associated with a channel or payment flow. | Include the relevant charges and currency-conversion treatment. |
| Refund rate | The proportion of transactions or value refunded. | Keep the reporting window and volume/value basis consistent. |
| Chargeback rate | Disputes associated with a channel’s transactions. | Account for reporting lag and differences in merchant or customer mix. |
| Response time | How quickly the channel returns a response. | Review slow responses and timeouts alongside average latency. |
Configure routing through visual rules instead of repeatedly changing application code. Define the conditions, eligible channels and fallback order for your approved setup.

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