You’ve just launched a big collection, and are ready for a holiday sale, and expecting sales to spike. But, what if your trusty payments router, Optimizer, decides to take a coffee break? No sweat – enter Edge Routing, an innovative, first-to-market, robust routing functionality that ensures that your payments never fail. While Razorpay Optimizer handles all your payment traffic with ultimate finesse, sometimes, it may take a little break, but not at the cost of your payments success! Edge Routing ensures that your payments never fail despite Optimizer downtimes!
Why did we build Edge Routing on Optimizer?
In the realm of scalability, ensuring a backup for availability becomes paramount. Client-side routing serves as the fail-safe merchants required to enhance revenue and address the availability challenges associated with payment processing.
While payment orchestration platforms like Optimizer have successfully addressed the rerouting of payment traffic to backup gateways when the primary gateway faces downtime, there has been a gap in solutions for scenarios when the payment orchestration layer itself experiences disruptions.
This represents an avoidable single point of failure for large and medium-sized businesses, causing payment failures even when goods and services are ready for delivery. Developing a direct integration with payment aggregators and gateways, coupled with the capability to seamlessly switch from the orchestration layer to a backup, poses a complex challenge and overhead for businesses. Merchants need a robust solution.
Enter Edge Routing on Optimizer!
How does Edge Routing work?
Optimizer’s Edge Routing, the first-of-its-kind solution in the market, ensures guaranteed 100% uptime in payment processing. This innovative solution eliminates the risk of a single point of failure by routing payments to the merchant’s chosen backup gateway or aggregator. Merchants can rest assured that in the event of an Optimizer downtime, there will be a smooth transition from the Optimizer to the backup payment gateway via an SDK to help merchants initiate a direct payment request via the browser.
Leveraging pre-integration with all backup payment gateways, the system initiates a direct call to the backup gateway from the browser using cached details of the merchant preferences and terminal details. Merchants can rely on the SDK to poll the status APIs of the backup gateway for payment status.
