What Can I Do with Hyperswitch?

Hyperswitch offers a modular, open-source payments infrastructure designed for flexibility and control. Apart from our Payment Suite offering, this solution allows businesses to pick and integrate only the modules they need on top of their existing payment stack — without unnecessary complexity or vendor lock-in.

Each module is independent and purpose-built to optimize different aspects of payment processing.

Architectural Overview

Why Hyperswitch?

Hyperswitch is a commercial open-source payments stack purpose-built for scale, flexibility, and developer experience. Designed with a modular architecture, Hyperswitch lets you pick only the components you need—whether it’s routing, retries, vaulting, or observability—without vendor lock-in or bloated integrations.

Built in Rust for performance and reliability, Hyperswitch supports global payment methods (cards, wallets, BNPL, UPI, Pay by Bank), exposes smart routing and retry logic, and provides a visual workflow builder in the Control Center. Whether you're integrating a full payment suite or augmenting an existing stack with a single module, Hyperswitch meets you where you are.

“Linux for Payments” — Hyperswitch is a well-architected reference for teams who want to own their payments stack.

We believe in:

• Embracing Payment Diversity: Innovation comes from enabling choice—across payment methods, processors, and flows.

• Open Source by Default: Transparency drives trust and builds better, reusable software.

• Community-Driven Development: Our roadmap is shaped by real-world use cases and contributors.

• Systems-Level Engineering: We hold ourselves to a high bar for reliability, security, and performance.

• Maximizing Value Creation: For developers, customers, and partners alike.

• Community-Driven, Enterprise-Tested: Hyperswitch is built in the open with real-world feedback from developers and contributors, and maintained by Juspay, the team powering payment infrastructure for 400+ leading enterprises worldwide.
