Unifying two payment processors into one resilient checkout
A Rails API that orchestrates Stripe and Authorize.net with automatic failover—and near-perfect uptime.
The challenge
Keystone relied on a single payment processor. When it had an incident, revenue stopped and support lit up. They needed redundancy, cleaner reconciliation, and a PCI-aware architecture they could trust.
What we built
We built a Rails API-only payments service that orchestrates both Stripe and Authorize.net behind one internal contract, with automatic failover, idempotent processing, tokenized cards, and webhook-driven reconciliation. The front-end teams integrate once; the resilience is handled underneath.
The outcome
Payment success rates climbed and processor outages stopped translating into lost revenue. Finance got clean, automated reconciliation, and the team stopped firefighting payment incidents.
