Failover Routing

Failover Routing is a resilience strategy where the payment orchestration layer automatically redirects transaction traffic to an alternative payment processor or acquirer when the primary provider experiences downtime, latency spikes, or elevated decline rates.

Effective failover routing requires real-time health monitoring of all connected processors, pre-configured routing rules, and sub-second switching capabilities. It is a critical component of achieving 99.99%+ payment uptime.
