After PhonePe, Razorpay, and Cashfree, Paytm has decided to discontinue integrations with payment orchestration platform Juspay, opting for direct integration with merchants instead.
Juspay believes the disassociation with payment gateways will not impact its revenue since it primarily earns from merchants as a technology service provider.
The exodus of payment gateways from Juspay began after it obtained a payment aggregator license, launching its service HyperPG, causing concern among fintechs about potential customer poaching.
Juspay's routing engine offers rule-based and dynamic gateway ordering, with most merchants utilizing rule-based ordering to control traffic based on business priorities.
Fintechs choose direct integration with merchants to retain control over the payment process and offer end-to-end services, like Razorpay's Optimizer and Cashfree's Flowise.
Despite the conflict, Juspay remains a dominant player in payment orchestration, processing a large volume of transactions daily and playing a key role in BHIM's development.
Juspay's financials show a decrease in net loss and a significant increase in operating revenue, with a focus on achieving adjusted EBITDA profitability in the current financial year.
