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%
