Build a Successful Payment Orchestration Strategy

Payment orchestration is a technology that allows businesses to connect and manage multiple payment service providers (PSPs), such as payment gateways and processors, through a single platform. Instead of directly integrating with each PSP individually, businesses integrate with the orchestration layer.

VGS provides the data infrastructure layer that enables businesses to build and operate their own payment orchestration strategy. This gives them secure access and control over their payment data across providers and partners.

VGS enables payment orchestration by giving companies the ability to securely:

• Capture payment data
• Protect it with tokenization
• Route it where it needs to go
• Transform it for provider or format requirements
• Maintain control over how and when it's shared

This makes it easier for payment teams to connect multiple PSPs and route transactions flexibly without being locked into a single provider.

Payment orchestration depends on moving and routing transactions intelligently, which requires control over payment data and its flow between systems.

VGS helps businesses keep that control by allowing them to:

• Store and use tokens instead of raw sensitive data
• Share the right data with the right PSP or partner at the right time
• Avoid payment provider lock-in
• Make routing decisions without rebuilding their integration stack

Companies can reduce payment costs by using orchestration to route payments based on what's best for each transaction, such as:

• Lower processing fees (choose the most cost-effective provider)
• Higher approval rates (route to the best-performing PSP/acquirer)
• Reduced failed payments (use failover routing and retry logic)
• Less engineering overhead (avoid rebuilding integrations repeatedly)

VGS supports this strategy by enabling businesses to manage payment data securely while maintaining flexibility across providers.

Yes. VGS helps businesses avoid vendor lock-in by enabling payment data portability, so companies can:

• Add or switch PSPs faster
• Run multiple PSPs in parallel
• Route traffic dynamically
• Maintain redundancy and resiliency

This flexibility makes orchestration easier to operate and less risky in the long term.

VGS does not make routing decisions for you. VGS enables your orchestration layer by ensuring payment data is securely routed and formatted for the provider you choose.

That means your team can implement strategies like:

• Performance-based routing
• Cost-based routing
• Regional routing
• Automated failover between PSPs

Payment orchestration platforms typically provide routing logic and management of payment providers out of the box.

VGS provides the underlying infrastructure so companies can:

• Control how sensitive payment data is captured and shared
• Tokenize and protect payment data at scale
• Route payment data to the providers they choose
• Build a flexible payment stack without forcing a specific orchestration model

In short: VGS powers orchestration, but does not act as the orchestrator.

Yes. VGS is designed to sit within your existing payment flow, and help companies securely share payment data with:

• PSPs
• Gateways
• Acquirers
• Graud tools
• Payment processors
• Internal services

This makes it easier to orchestrate across multiple providers as payment strategies evolve.

Yes. VGS helps reduce compliance burden by limiting exposure to sensitive payment data through tokenization and secure vaulting.

That means teams can move faster when building payment workflows and orchestration logic while still supporting security and compliance requirements.
