Hyperswitch is an open-source payment orchestrator — connect multiple payment processors through a single API.
What You Get for Free
- One API — unified API for Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Braintree, and 50+ connectors
- Smart routing — route payments to the best processor
- Retry logic — automatic fallback if one processor fails
- Dashboard — manage payments, refunds, disputes
- Tokenization — PCI-compliant card storage
- 3D Secure — built-in authentication flows
- Webhooks — unified webhook format across processors
- Checkout SDK — pre-built checkout UI components
Quick Start
docker compose up -d # from hyperswitch's docker-compose
// One API call — Hyperswitch routes to the best processor
const payment = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/payments', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'api-key': 'YOUR_KEY' },
body: JSON.stringify({
amount: 2000,
currency: 'USD',
payment_method: 'card',
payment_method_data: { card: { card_number: '4242...' } }
})
})
Why Developers Switch from Direct Stripe Integration
Single-processor dependency is risky:
- No vendor lock-in — switch processors without code changes
- Higher success rates — retry failed payments on alternate processor
- Lower fees — route to cheapest processor per transaction
- One integration — add PayPal, Klarna, etc. via config, not code
An e-commerce site had 3.2% payment failure rate on Stripe alone. After Hyperswitch with Stripe + PayPal fallback: 0.8% failure rate — each failed Stripe charge retries on PayPal.
