What’s new in Solidgate Payment Routing 2.0?
From decision trees to rule-based routing
We’ve shifted from decision trees to a rule-based system, allowing you to define complex payment flows using simple rules. You can now manage routing logic more easily, adapting it to your needs based on custom attributes like:
- Geography
- BIN
- Issuer
- Card brand
- Currency
- Transaction value
- Risk score
- Payment method
- Metadata
The setup is now cleaner and more intuitive, allowing you to focus on business outcomes instead of getting caught in technicalities.
