Payrails is a cloud-based payment operating system designed to streamline and centralize payment and financial operations for high-growth digital businesses. Developed for enterprise-scale companies—especially in sectors like e-commerce, delivery platforms, mobility, and marketplaces—Payrails helps manage complex global payment setups, orchestrate transactions, and reconcile financial data across multiple providers.

Unlike traditional payment service providers, Payrails is infrastructure-agnostic and offers a modular, API-first approach that allows businesses to retain full control over their payment stack. Key benefits include higher authorization rates, reduced payment processing costs, and automated financial workflows.

What are the main features of Payrails?

Payment orchestration with provider-agnostic routing

Payrails allows businesses to route transactions dynamically across multiple payment service providers (PSPs), acquirers, and alternative payment methods.

• Supports rules-based routing logic to optimize cost and performance

• Facilitates A/B testing of payment providers for conversion improvements

• Enables fallback scenarios to reduce failed transactions

• Integrated with major global and regional PSPs

This orchestration layer enables companies to optimize for cost, latency, and authorization success without being locked into one provider.

Centralized transaction and payment data infrastructure

Payrails consolidates transaction-level data from various PSPs and payment methods into a unified format for consistent analysis and reporting.

• Real-time transaction visibility across all providers

• Normalized data formats reduce time spent on reconciliation

• Enables central tracking of KPIs such as success rates, costs, and fraud levels

• Custom tagging and metadata for internal reporting and audit trails

This centralization facilitates better decision-making and simplifies financial reporting workflows.

Automated financial operations and reconciliation

The platform provides tools to automate complex financial operations such as settlement reconciliation and revenue recognition.

• Automated matching of incoming funds to expected settlements

• Handling of partial payments, refunds, chargebacks, and fee reconciliation

• Generation of ledger-ready records

• Flexible integrations with ERP and accounting systems

These automation capabilities reduce manual workload and error-prone processes for finance teams.

Modular architecture for tailored use cases

Payrails is built with a modular architecture that allows businesses to implement only the components they need, whether for payment routing, data unification, or financial reconciliation.

• Compatible with in-house checkout and custom PSP integrations

• Offers APIs, dashboards, and webhook-based event handling

• Designed to support product teams, finance departments, and operations jointly

• Scalability for both regional expansion and new business models

This flexibility makes Payrails suitable for both scaling startups and large enterprises with complex financial setups.
