Hyperswitch is an open-source payments platform from Juspay, designed to simplify global payments for digital businesses. Juspay has been a global leader offering payment infrastructure solution for banks and merchants for 12+ years, processing over 175 million daily transactions and an annualized total payment value of $670 billion.
At Juspay, we believe that payments infrastructure should be transparent, adaptable, and built for merchant control—not vendor lock-in. That’s why we made the bold decision to take our Payment Orchestrator open source.
Enterprise merchants operate in a world where payment agility is a competitive advantage. Traditional closed-loop platforms dictate their own rules, pricing, and pace of innovation. Based on our 12-years of experience building and scaling global payment systems, we decided to take a different approach—giving merchants the power to customize, optimize, and scale payments to fit their unique business needs.
Since our 2024 enterprise go-lives (e.g. Flowbird), we have been working on unbundling a range of stand-alone solutions from our broader technology stack to make them more accessible to merchants looking to expand their in-house system engineering capability. These stand-alone solutions range from services for intelligent / dynamic payment routing, payment methods vaulting, cost observability, PSP-agnostic authentication, and an APMs widget that can be embedded anywhere.
HyperSwitch's technical architecture combines open source innovation with enterprise-grade reliability, built to power modern payment operations.
Complete Transparency & Confidence: Full visibility into payment orchestration with no black boxes, enabling informed decision-making and customization
Open Roadmap & Innovation: Collaborative development approach that allows merchants to influence and contribute to the platform's evolution
Speed to Market: Accelerate implementation and changes by building consensus faster through transparent architecture
Built on battle-tested systems by Juspay's 1000+ engineers, the same team that powers 175M+ transactions daily for enterprises like Amazon, Agoda and Zurich
Comprehensive security framework including PCI compliance, tokenization, and security certifications
Proven reliability at scale, designed for high-performance payment processing
It is built on the principles of - Modular, Composable, Well Architected
Sub-systems: To orchestrate a unified checkout, payment methods and credentials (tokens, PANs), trust providers, dynamic routing - across PSPs & acquirers, and debit networks, designed for redundancy & reliability, state-of-the-art transaction level payments intelligence to increase conversions and reduce costs, and to unify payment operations - observability, optimizations, reconciliation.
Modular: Pick only the components you need—intelligent routing, vault, reconciliation, cost observability, smart retries, APM widgets—without overhauling your stack.
Scalable: Ability to handle peakings transactions up to 5K TPS (horizontal scaling)
Reliable: Ensuring zero downtime and safe mode for handling exceptions (with retries, multi-region, Active-active)
Observable: Providing deep insights into transactions and failures (logging, monitoring, tracing, drill downs, audits, optimizations - auth-lift and cost reduction)
Composable: Easily integrate Hyperswitch into any existing payments infrastructure, reducing migration friction.
Future-proof: Swap out or upgrade internal systems and providers without rebuilding from scratch—a level of flexibility closed platforms can’t match.
Get ready! We welcome you to the future of digital payments!
An end-to-end orchestration layer that unifies payments across providers, networks, and channels. It enables seamless checkout, dynamic routing, and redundancy for reliability.
Optimize payments at scale without adding complexity to your infrastructure.
A flexible, modular approach to integrate only the payment capabilities you need. Choose from intelligent routing, vault, reconciliation, cost observability, smart retries, and APM widgets.
Enhance performance without overhauling your existing payment stack.
