Chargebee Payments Dynamic Smart Routing 

With Chargebee Payments now set up for your site, you can now choose to configure the Dynamic Smart Routing settings as well. This feature enables you to configure what percentage of your payments must be processed with a specific payment gateway.

However, in a real-world scenario, it is nearly impossible to predict the number of payments processed in a day. Hence, Chargebee uses a logic that is designed to continually review and determine which payment gateway is used for each payment.

Let's review this example below to understand the concept better:

ABC Industries have configured its smart routing settings to use ACME Gatway and Chargebee Payments with an 80:20 split. The table below provides insight into Chargebee's logic that dynamically determines which gateway must be used to process a payment based on the smart routing split.

Payment Processed % Before Transaction Gateway to be Used % After Transaction
1 0% ACME Gateway 100%
2 100% Chargebee Payments 50%
3 50% ACME Gateway 66.66%
4 66.66% ACME Gateway 75%
5 75% ACME Gateway 80%
6 80% Chargebee Payments 57%

Prerequisites 

This is only applicable if you meet the following conditions:

  • You must accept payments through Chargebee Payments and one of the two gateways being configured must be Chargebee Payments.
  • You must have at least one more gateway for the chosen payment method in addition to Chargebee Payments active on your Chargebee site.
  • The smart routing settings must be configured to include at least one other payment gateway in addition to Chargebee Payments.
  • Dynamic Smart Routing is applicable to Card Payments in USD only.
  • Dynamic Smart Routing is limited to the configuration between Chargebee Payments and one external gateway only.
