Payment orchestration Definition.
A technical layer that sits on top of several PSPs and acquirers: smart transaction routing, cascading retries to a second acquirer after a decline, centralized tokenization (an independent vault), and unified reconciliation and reporting. It reduces dependence on a single provider and optimizes both costs and payment success rates. Providers include Payrails, Gr4vy, and Primer; large merchants also build their own.
