How Fallback Works
Fallback works by attempting a payment on a primary route first, then automatically trying a secondary route if the original attempt fails based on predefined rules and failure conditions. It’s used to reduce interruptions and keep payments moving in common use cases such as cross-border processing, high-volume checkouts, and recurring billing.
In Akurateco’s customizable, open-source infrastructure, the logic runs in real time, uses transaction data, and applies routing functions within a single system, with centralized management and support.
Why Fallback Matters for Your Business
Fallback helps reduce avoidable declines by keeping transactions alive when a route degrades. It improves reliability during traffic spikes and makes payment performance more predictable across regions. It also supports a smoother customer experience while controlling operational costs during the early building of a fintech project. For a global scale, fallback is most effective when rules are consistent, and the overall security model stays intact.
Akurateco provides access to a centralized payment system that offers routing and cascading options on a single platform, with easy API integration, secure, encrypted transactions, multi-currency support, and scalable infrastructure.
