What Is Payment Orchestration? How Platforms Route Transactions Across Multiple PSPs
**When orchestration starts to matter** Payment orchestration usually starts to matter when you operate across regions and customer payment preferences, and a single-PSP setup becomes harder to manage cleanly.

A [payment orchestration platform](https://stripe.com/resources/more/what-is-payment-orchestration-what-businesses-need-to-know) is the control layer that centralizes gateways, processors, acquirers, and related providers. It keeps your team from managing each integration in a different way.
