Orchestra is a payment orchestration platform that connects payment providers through one API and can route payments across multiple processors. It connects to more than 130 providers, gateways, alternative payment services and financial services. Routing rules can send failed payments to backup processors. Cards, wallets, bank transfers and local payment methods are available through the same integration. A REST API supports backend charges, refunds and recurring billing; a JavaScript SDK supports capturing cards, wallets and local methods. The company says the SDK keeps card data off customer servers and offers outsourced PCI compliance. Orchestra states that it is PCI-DSS Level 1 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, supports PSD2 strong customer authentication, and is GDPR compliant. It monitors integrated providers for API changes and handles updates, and says new integrations are added without additional cost. Standard integrations typically take 2–4 weeks; complex ones may take 4–6 weeks. Starter costs 0.00 USD per month and includes 100 live requests monthly. Growth costs 350.00 USD per month plus $0.03 per request.
