Chargebee Pay Dynamic Smart Routing

With Chargebee Pay 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:

XYZ Industries has configured its smart routing settings to use ACME Gateway and Chargebee Pay 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 TransactionGateway to be Used% After Transaction
10%ACME Gateway100%
2100%Chargebee Pay50%
350%ACME Gateway66.66%
466.66%ACME Gateway75%
575%ACME Gateway80%
680%Chargebee Pay57%

Prerequisites

This is only applicable if you meet the following conditions:

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