Connect Payment Gateways Through One Payment Orchestration Platform

Cliq connects supported gateways, processors, payment methods, and transaction reporting through one platform so you can configure routing, simplify integrations, and manage payment operations as your business evolves.

One Platform for Gateway Management

Payment orchestration connects gateways, processors, payment methods, and transaction workflows through a centralized platform that sits between your payment applications and your payment providers.

Gateway Connectivity

Connect supported payment gateways through one operational platform, whether you run a single gateway today or multiple gateways across business units.

Processor Connectivity

Support multiple processor relationships where available, without maintaining a separate connection for each.

Payment Routing

Configure routing workflows based on supported business requirements and processor configurations, and add gateways as operational needs evolve.

Centralized Reporting

Monitor payment activity across supported gateways through unified reporting.

Tokenization & Card-on-File

Support card-on-file transactions using supported tokenization services where configured and approved.

Developer Platform

Gateway and routing APIs, webhooks for transaction events, and SDKs to embed payment functionality into POS, SaaS, mobile, and enterprise software.

How It Works

From Integration to Routed Transaction

Orchestration works best when it matches the merchant model, processor relationships, risk needs, and integration requirements.

  1. MapIdentify channels, payment methods, gateways, processors, routing rules, webhook needs, and reporting requirements
  2. ConfigureConnect supported gateways and processors through a single integration, then set routing logic and tokens
  3. ProcessSend transactions through the configured routing path and capture status changes throughout the payment lifecycle
  4. ReportUse unified reporting, webhooks, and exports to keep activity across every gateway visible in one place

Support Multiple Payment Methods

One Integration, Many Ways to Pay

Depending on gateway, processor, and merchant configuration, supported methods may include:

  • Credit and debit cards, and ACH payments where enabled
  • Contactless payments through compatible hardware
  • Digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Card-on-file transactions using supported tokenization services

Frequently Asked

What is payment orchestration?

Payment orchestration is a platform layer that connects payment gateways, processors, payment methods, and transaction workflows, so a business can manage multiple payment providers through one integration instead of several.

Does Cliq replace my payment processor?

Not necessarily. Businesses can continue using supported processors while managing gateway connectivity and routing through Cliq’s orchestration layer. Cliq does not claim to make a business independent of its processors.

Can businesses connect multiple gateways?

Yes. The platform is designed to connect and manage multiple supported gateways through a single integration. Available gateways depend on implementation, and PCI responsibilities still depend on your environment — see Hosted Payment Pages.

Can software platforms integrate payment orchestration?

Yes. APIs, routing controls, webhooks, and SDKs let software providers connect payment and gateway workflows with their own applications — see apidocs.cliq.com.

Modernize Your Payment Infrastructure

Managing gateways shouldn’t require disconnected integrations, fragmented reporting, or inflexible processor relationships. Cliq’s Payment Orchestration platform helps businesses connect payment providers, manage routing strategies, simplify integrations, and centralize payment operations through one connected platform.
