A payment gateway that puts you in control

Connect to acquirers, payment methods, and markets through a single integration, while maintaining complete control of where and how your payment volume is routed.

Built for control at scale

You choose the logic that determines how each transaction is handled.

This includes confirming supported card types for the merchant and site, restricting on funding source (credit, debit, prepaid) and product type (consumer, corporate), and applying card-type restrictions. Every transaction is aligned with your configured acceptance rules before it moves forward.

Peace of mind with every payment

Not every transaction carries the same risk, value, or context, and your payment flow should reflect that. PXP gives you the tools to design, automate, and adapt transaction flows in real time.

Self-service flow control

Configure screening logic visually and adjust rules without redeploying code

Built-in and external screening

Velocity checks, whitelists, blacklists, and pattern-based risk signals, with external screening powered by Kount

Verification and step-up

Account name verification, AVS and CVV checks, and the ability to step up to 3DS when required

Outcome-based actions

Approve, decline, reroute, or send to manual review, with auto-revert as new signals arrive

Smart routing

PXP dynamically routes transactions based on real-time conditions, historical performance, and business rules. Performance-based routing evaluates historical approval data to select the strongest acquirer, with continuous re-evaluation every few seconds using a rolling time window. Retry logic and cascades automatically retry transactions across alternate acquirers. Downtime detection removes acquirers experiencing outages and reintroduces them once stability returns.

Authorisation processing

Authentication alone does not guarantee approval. PXP processes authorisations using the context built earlier in the payment journey. Transactions are routed to the most appropriate acquirer, with consistent handling across providers and channels. Authorisation follows screening and authentication decisions, with support for retries or alternate paths where appropriate.

Recovery and retries

Not every decline is final. Issuers return soft declines for many reasons, and without recovery logic, transactions stop too early. PXP supports recovery and retries as part of the orchestration flow, identifying when a decline is recoverable, retrying using updated context or alternate paths, triggering step-up actions when required, and avoiding unnecessary retries that increase cost or risk.

01

Issuer soft decline

Trigger 3DS step-up (if permitted) or submit new authorisation attempt

02

Acquirer decline

Route to next-best acquirer and resend authorisation

03

Non-recoverable decline

Stop the transaction (lost/stolen, NSF, etc.)

One gateway, multiple acquirers

Our gateway does not lock you into PXP acquiring. With it, you can choose to utilize our acquiring, third-party acquirers, or both, and change that mix as your business grows. Adding or switching acquirers happens within the platform rather than through reintegration, so provider decisions stay commercial decisions instead of engineering projects.

This ensures you retain complete control of your payments flow from end-to-end, and are not locked into any acquirer, including us.

Built for resilience

Single-path tokenisation creates hidden risk. Token availability is often tied to one provider, and acquirer outages can break stored payments. PXP solves this with redundant tokenisation across acquirers, handled in parallel. Cards are tokenised across multiple acquirers simultaneously, token IDs are returned asynchronously as they become available, and tokens are centrally managed within Token Vault.
