4 reasons to choose PayStar
We’ll tell you what no PSP sales rep will
Check the real approval rate by GEO/currency/method (updated daily), review method status, PSP requirements, and commercial terms — before you spend weeks integrating.
One integration — 2,000+ payment methods
Connect payment methods through one API: a unified flow/callbacks/statuses. The first integration typically takes 1–2 days, and new methods are added by swapping auth keys — no backend rewrite.
Manage PSPs like a portfolio and keep everything measurable
Smart routing, cascades/fallback, limits and traffic control, A/B and split routing, monitoring and alerts, reconciliation, and quality analytics — to control conversion and unit economics across multiple GEOs/PSPs.
We take responsibility for conversion growth (turnkey, if needed)
Audit and baseline, hypothesis plan, fast iterations, money-based reporting (uplift / net profit impact), and performance fee under an agreed formula — when you want maximum outcome without loading your team.

Gateway Quality (Gateway Quality Index)#

Payment intelligence before integration.
Understand the real approval rate and method status before you spend weeks integrating.
Approval rate by country / currency / method (data updated daily)
Data confidence level (Low / Medium / High) + method status (Stable / New / Degraded / Low Traffic)
Current PSP offers + legal requirements and supported verticals
How it works
1.
You send a request: country / currency / method (or a specific PSP).
2.
You receive a “quality card”: approval rate, data confidence, method status, offer, and legal requirements.
3.
If it fits — you connect / plan the launch.
Card example
Send a request

Direct Connect (Direct Connect)#

One API. 2,000+ payment methods. No routing. No complexity.
The methods catalog keeps growing.
Integrate once → unified payment flow / callbacks / statuses
No orchestration. No routing. No limits.
Add methods by swapping auth keys (no backend rewrite)
How it works
1.
You choose the methods you need (from the PayStar catalog) and request activation.
2.
We issue Direct Connect API keys → you integrate once (typically 1–2 days for the first integration).
3.
Then scale “without development”: add new methods by swapping auth keys — flows and statuses stay the same.
Initial integration — 2–3 days
Subsequent connections — 1 day

Routing (Core / PayStar Core)#

Next-generation payment orchestration.
Increase conversion, stability, and transparency across multiple GEOs and multiple PSPs.
Smart Routing by GEO/BIN/currency/amount/attempt history/provider quality
Cascade & Fallback + Limits & Traffic Control
A/B and split routing, Recon Engine, Quality Engine, monitoring/alerts, analytics
How it works
1.
Onboarding & enablement: define your GEOs/PSPs/methods, KPIs, and rules (how to measure conversion/cost/risk).
2.
Connect providers and build pipelines: routing, cascades, limits, conditions — all managed in one interface.
3.
Launch traffic management: A/B, split routing, auto-switching on degradation, alerts, and reconciliation — keeping conversion and unit economics under control.
Request keys

Team (Profit Maximizer)#

We become your payments team and “squeeze the maximum.”
Not just a platform — we take responsibility for managed net profit uplift by KPI:
(conversion × margin − fees − losses)
How it works
1.
Audit & baseline: capture the current picture (providers, decline reasons, costs, degradations, GEO gaps), agree KPIs and guardrails.
2.
Hypothesis plan & fast iterations: retries/cascades, economics-based route optimization, experiments (A/B), anti-degradation policies.
3.
Turnkey implementation in Routing + weekly cycle: what we did → what uplift we got → what’s next.
4.
Money-based reporting: show net profit and cost-optimization impact (and/or calculate performance fee by an agreed formula).
