What tools help me manage multiple payment methods from one dashboard?

6 min read

The best way to manage multiple payment methods from one dashboard is to use a payment orchestration platform, such as Primer.

Payment orchestration gives you a single place to connect payment gateways, wallets, and bank transfers, monitor performance, and automate workflows. It replaces the need to manage separate dashboards for each provider.

If you process card, wallet, and bank payments, a unified payments infrastructure (like Primer) helps you simplify operations, improve reliability, and reduce costs.

What to look for in a unified payments dashboard

Here are the key capabilities that define a strong orchestration or unified payments solution:

  • Centralized visibility: One dashboard showing transactions, declines, and payment-method performance across providers. This helps teams spot issues quickly and track conversion trends.

  • Multi-provider connectivity: The ability to connect several gateways or acquirers through one API. This reduces vendor lock-in and gives you flexibility in routing transactions.

  • Intelligent routing and orchestration: The system should automatically route payments based on success rate, geography, or cost. Primer supports dynamic routing and fallback logic through its Workflows tool.

  • Multiple payment methods: Support for cards, digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay, bank transfers, and local methods such as SEPA or Sofort. Primer integrates dozens of global payment methods.

  • Analytics and reporting: Access to real-time data on authorizations, declines, chargebacks, and fees, aggregated across all connected services.

  • Integrations with your tech stack: The ability to sync data with accounting, CRM, or ecommerce systems to remove silos and simplify reconciliation.

  • Payment redundancy: Your solution should offer a cascading payments solution, where a recoverable payment can be automatically retried with an alternative processor (based on criteria you set up). 
  • Security and compliance: Ensure PCI DSS, GDPR, and PSD2 alignment, along with Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) support.
