Many payment processors experience downtimes, which is when their systems are not working. In practice, downtimes mean that your transactions cannot be processed and your customer’s credit card is rejected through no fault of their own.

Downtimes can be prevented by dynamically switching payment processors. An advanced payment platform has the ability to reroute transactions in real time when a given processor is down.
