The Payment Orchestration Guide
As volume grows, a single payment gateway becomes a liability: declined transactions you could have won, fees you could have cut, and an outage that stops every order. Payment orchestration puts a routing layer in front of multiple processors.
This guide explains when orchestration is worth it and how to adopt it without locking your store to one vendor.
