Overview
Hyperswitch: Open-Source Payments Platform by Juspay
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 300 Mn+ daily transactions and an annualized total payment value of $1 Tn+
We offer two distinct solutions
Enterprise Grade Open Payments Infrastructure
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.
Guided by the learnings from our enterprise go-lives, 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.
