Roadmap - Q3 2025

Jul '25 to Sep '25

🗺️ Our Roadmap typically pans out over a 3-month period and we establish topics we work on upfront.

Before the beginning of every quarter we come together to develop the next roadmap based on our core values, previous roadmap, findings over the previous quarter, what we heard from the community as feature requests.

👂And as always, we listen to your feedback and adapt our plans if needed.

Core Values

Our core values have pretty much remained the same since the early days and here they are:

• Make payments more accessible and affordable to every digital business

• Staying simple and super-lightweight, and at the same time reliable and scalable payment switch

• Being community-first in ideation, planning and execution of features

Themes for Roadmap

Earlier this year, Hyperswitch was made more modular to provide businesses with focused solutions to specific payment-related problems. Hence, our roadmap, starting this quarter, will be published under each module. A summary of the 8 product modules is provided below :

1. Vault: Simplifying PCI compliance and data privacy regulations through a standalone Card Vault

2. Cost Observability: Tracking and reducing payment processing costs via PSP reports.

3. Authentication: Data driven 3DS routing decision system and unified authentication SDK to encompass the diversity of authentication products.

4. Intelligent Routing: Routing service to dynamically select the most optimal PSP/ network in real time exploring/exploiting/managing multiple objectives simultaneously.

5. ​​Alternate Payment Method Widgets: Embracing the ever expanding diversity of payment methods and payment experiences through orchestration, and a simple add-on button to Checkout.

6. Orchestration: The core module supporting workflows unifying various connector

7. Revenue Recovery: A payment recovery sub-system with a customizable retry engine that reduces passive churn to recover failed subscription payments.

8. Reconciliation: Improving Finops efficiency in multi-acquirer settlement reconciliation.
