Payment Gateway Failover
Payment Failover Across Multiple Gateways
Orchestra’s automatic failover system switches failed transactions to backup gateways in real-time
Free to start • No credit card required
When A Gateway Goes Down, Payments Keep Moving
When your payment processor goes down, declines valid cards, or faces network issues, every failed transaction is lost revenue. Fail over to one of 130+ alternatives.
Support 130+ regional payment methods instantly
How Orchestra Failover Works
Failover happens in milliseconds, not minutes
Smart Routing Across Every Gateway
Orchestra’s Fallback Payment Processor feature automatically reroutes declined transactions through alternative processors to maximize approval rates and eliminate transaction failures.
Intelligent Failover with No Code Changes
Orchestra monitors transaction health across all gateways and
automatically reroutes failures without customer intervention
// For each transaction, specify which PSP to use as primary and provide an optional list of failover PSPs
const response = await fetch('https://api.orchestrasolutions.com/PaymentGateway/charge', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
payerDetails: { clientIPAddress: '1.2.3.4', countryCode: 'US'
},
card: { cardNumber: '4580458045804580', cvv: '123', expirationMonth: 7, expirationYear: 2030
