Payment orchestration is the process of intelligently managing payment flows across multiple acquirers, payment service providers (PSPs), and payment methods. Within a composable payment infrastructure like Hellgate®, payment orchestration functions as the control layer that enables merchants to route transactions based on factors such as cost, approval rate and region. By decoupling payment logic from business logic, organisations increase flexibility, resilience and time-to-market for new payment options, while also benefiting from modules like Hellgate® Pulse for intelligent routing and decisioning.
