Hyperswitch Has a Free Payment Orchestrator — One API for Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, and More

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
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
// 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...' } }
  })
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

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.
