What’s the Smartest Way to Manage Multiple Payment Gateways?

[jilokece]

Hey folks,
As more businesses expand into different regions, handling payments is becoming a serious challenge. Each country has its own preferred methods, local providers, and banking regulations — not to mention dealing with multiple currencies and settlement times.

I’m curious how others here approach this. Do you stick with one main payment gateway, or do you use several to improve coverage and reliability?

Multiple gateways sound smart—cover every region, dodge downtime—but I was juggling Stripe, PayPal, and Adyen for my language app, and it was chaos: different dashboards, settlement delays, 3% lost to routing fails. Found https://corefy.com/blog/payfac-as-a-service and it clicked: one PayFac layer, onboard local methods instantly, smart routing, single payout. Cut my ops time 70%, approvals up 28%, no more “which tab?” panic. If your global game’s messy, run PayFac-as-a-Service. This cleaned my stack.
