Hyperswitch

What is Hyperswitch?

Hyperswitch is an open-source payments orchestrator that enables businesses to connect with multiple payment processors through a single, unified API. Built as composable payments infrastructure, it simplifies payment processing by eliminating the need to integrate with individual payment gateways separately. The platform serves businesses of all sizes that require flexibility in payment processing, including e-commerce companies, SaaS platforms, and fintech applications. By abstracting the complexity of multiple payment processor integrations, Hyperswitch reduces development time and maintenance overhead while providing a consistent interface for payment operations. Key features include support for multiple payment processors, streamlined API integration, and open-source architecture that allows for customization and community contributions. The orchestration layer handles routing transactions to appropriate processors, enabling businesses to optimize for factors like cost, geographic availability, or specific payment method support. As an open-source project maintained on GitHub, Hyperswitch is freely available for deployment and modification. This approach provides transparency into the codebase and allows organizations to self-host the infrastructure rather than relying on third-party services. The platform is designed to reduce vendor lock-in while maintaining the operational benefits of a modern payments infrastructure. Hyperswitch is particularly suited for organizations seeking control over their payment processing stack and those managing complex, multi-region payment requirements.
