Payment Flows

A payment flow in Tuxopay is how you manage and control the path of payments through your site. With payment flows, you can:

• Connect and manage multiple payment integrations (called "shops")
• Choose a rotation strategy to determine how payments are routed between your shops (e.g., round-robin, priority order)
• Select which shops to include in each flow
• Define rules that apply to the entire flow, such as retry logic, fallback conditions, or custom routing criteria

How to Set Up a Payment Flow

1. Add Your Payment Shops
   Connect your payment providers as shops in Tuxopay.

2. Create a Payment Flow
   Set up a new flow and give it a name that matches your use case.

3. Choose a Rotation Strategy
   Decide how Tuxopay should rotate between your shops (e.g., round-robin, weighted, or custom logic).

4. Select Shops for the Flow
   Pick which shops you want to include in this flow.

5. Set Flow Rules
   Define rules that apply to the whole flow, such as:

   • When to retry a payment
   • How to handle failures
   • Any custom conditions for routing

Example Payment Flow

Suppose you want to maximize uptime and minimize costs. You could:

• Include three shops: Shop A, Shop B, and Shop C
• Use a round-robin strategy to distribute payments evenly
• Set a rule to retry with the next shop if a payment fails
• Add a fallback to a specific shop for high-value transactions

With Tuxopay, you have full control over how payments move through your system, helping you optimize for success, cost, and reliability.
