What is Payment Orchestration?

Payment orchestration centralizes and manages multiple payment providers through a single platform. Apcopay's allows businesses to connect to various payment providers and acquirers, enabling seamless transaction routing, enhanced reporting, and streamlined integration with other systems through a unified interface.

Apcopay offers key benefits to online merchants, including:

  • One-time integration: With Apcopay, businesses only need to integrate once, eliminating the need to manage individual APIs for each Payment Service Provider (PSP). This reduces development time and allows easy switching or adding of payment providers when needed.
  • Access to global payment options: Apcopay connects merchants to a wide range of payment providers and methods worldwide.
  • Unified payment strategy: Merchants can apply a consistent approach to payment routing, risk management, and transaction handling across all providers, ensuring efficiency and optimized transaction success rates.
  • Consolidated reporting: Apcopay provides a centralized dashboard for analyzing transactions across all connected providers and generating detailed reports.
  • Risk management and fraud prevention: Apcopay integrates advanced risk management tools, helping businesses reduce fraud and connect to external fraud prevention systems for added security.
  • What is an Acquirer Bank?

    An acquirer bank is a financial institution that processes credit or debit card transactions on behalf of a merchant. It acts as an intermediary between the merchant and the cardholder's bank (issuer).

    What is an ARN Code?

    ARN (Acquirer Reference Number) is a unique code assigned to a credit or debit card transaction when it's processed by the acquirer bank. This code helps track the status of a transaction from the acquiring bank to the cardholder's issuing bank.
