What is HyperSwitch?

HyperSwitch from Juspay sits between your checkout and payment providers. Instead of coding against Stripe, Adyen, Braintree, Worldpay, Checkout.com and others one by one, you integrate once and route each transaction to the processor with the best predicted approval rate. Separate modules cover cost observability, retry-based revenue recovery, a PCI-compliant vault for cards and tokens, two- and three-way reconciliation, and drop-in widgets for wallets and buy-now-pay-later methods. A Control Center web app manages it, with 14 interface languages.

Good fit if

  • You process payments through several providers and want to stop hard-wiring each one.
  • You want to own card storage and routing logic instead of paying an orchestration vendor.

Look elsewhere if

  • You only need one processor and a simple checkout; a direct integration is lighter.
  • You want an API gateway for your own services rather than payment flows: Kong.

Before you adopt it

The code is under Apache-2.0, and contributors must sign a CLA. No paid parts were found in the repository, though Juspay also sells a hosted SaaS. Development is busy and spread over dozens of people. Expect a heavy deployment: the full Docker Compose profile starts many services, including PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse and Elasticsearch, and a minimal profile runs only the app server.
