Global Payouts Orchestration: Streamline Your International Payments
What is Payouts Orchestration?
Payouts orchestration is the seamless coordination of multiple payment processes and methods across different countries and currencies, managed through a single platform, and API. This process is designed to make global payouts smarter, faster, more efficient, and cost-effective, regardless of where the payee (end recipient) is located. Think of global payouts orchestration as the conductor of an orchestra, ensuring every part of the payment process works in perfect harmony to deliver payments swiftly and securely.
Who is it for?
Payouts orchestration is designed for businesses of any size that need to send payments to a global audience instantly and efficiently. It caters to a diverse range of industries, including affiliate networks, direct selling, the on-demand economy, the creator economy, platforms and marketplaces, clinical trials, and global workforce payouts. Whether you’re a multinational corporation managing payouts to a global workforce or a small business handling international contractors, payouts orchestration simplifies the complex process of managing global transactions.
What Problem is it Solving?
The traditional process of making global payments is often riddled with challenges, such as high fees, slow transaction times, regulatory compliance issues, and currency conversion complexities. One of the more significant challenges businesses face is the need to onboard multiple payment providers to cover the diverse needs of their global payments. Each provider may specialize in different regions, currencies, or payment methods, requiring businesses to manage several accounts, integrations, and compliance checks. This fragmentation is not only time-consuming and costly but also complicates the payment process, increasing the risk of errors and delays.
Payouts orchestration solves these challenges by aggregating the payment process into a single streamlined system that simplifies and intelligently optimizes every step of the payout experience. By connecting businesses to an extensive network of payment providers through one platform and single API integration, payouts orchestration simplifies global payouts, reducing costs, minimizing errors, and ensuring faster, more efficient transactions.
The Evolution of Global Payments
To understand the importance of payouts orchestration, it’s helpful to consider the evolution of global payments in a similar way to the evolution of online travel agencies (OTAs) and travel booking aggregators. Initially, OTAs like Orbitz and Travelocity revolutionized how consumers booked travel by consolidating flights, hotels, and car rentals into one platform, making the process far faster and more convenient. However, when companies like Trivago came along, it took this one step further by aggregating the aggregators, allowing users to compare options from all OTAs to find the best price, time, and location seamlessly.
Similarly, the advent of global real-time payment infrastructures made it easier for companies to make cross-border payments by connecting them to various payment rails and banks. However, much like Trivago improved upon the OTAs, global payouts orchestration—like PayQuicker—has aggregated the global payment networks into a single, intelligent platform. Just as Trivago acts as a metasearch engine for travel, aggregating options from multiple sources to provide users with the best possible travel booking experience, payouts orchestration serves as the “metasearch engine” for the payments industry, aggregating global payment networks to offer businesses the smartest, fastest, and easiest global payout experience possible by leveraging technology, like AI and machine learning, to automate and optimize every aspect of the payment process.
How Does it Work?
- Common Bank Application
The first step in the orchestration process is the Common Bank Application, which simplifies the onboarding and Know Your Business (KYB) compliance process required by banks. This standardized application ensures that all necessary documentation and compliance checks are completed efficiently for all bank partners, reducing the time and effort required to start sending payouts.
- API Integration
Once onboarded, businesses can integrate with the global payouts orchestration platform using a single REST API. This API connects them to an extensive network of banks and payment rails, providing access to a vast array of global payout solutions and options. Whether the payor wants to fund an account or initiate a payout, this API makes it easy to do so through a straightforward integration process.
- Payor Funds Payment Account and Instructs Payout
After integration, the payor funds their payment account and instructs payouts through an easy batch file upload or API. This process allows for seamless payment issuance to multiple recipients across various geographies, all from one central platform.
- Intelligent Orchestration and Routing of Funds
Global payouts orchestration platforms use intelligent orchestration and routing algorithms to compare speed, prices, local requirements, currencies, and payment methods, optimizing each transaction. The system automatically selects the most cost-effective and efficient route for every payout, ensuring the payee gets their funds quickly and with minimal fees for the payor.
- Payment Sent in Real-Time
Once the optimal route is determined, the global payouts orchestration platform leverages a network of real-time payment infrastructures and platforms to deliver payouts instantly and efficiently. This innovative orchestration aggregates various payment rails, intelligently selecting the best route to ensure fast, seamless, and cost-effective transactions.
- Payout Intelligently Routed to Payor Hosted Environment or Payee Portal
Once the funds are routed, the payout is intelligently routed to either the payor’s hosted environment or the global payouts orchestration platform’s portal, depending on the setup and preference. This ensures flexibility in how payments are handled and where they are directed. Additionally, with features such as Insta-Pay – like that of PayQuicker – payees can request all or part of their funds immediately, giving them instant access to their earnings, no matter their location, and ensuring a superior payout experience.
- Payee Spends Earnings
Finally, payees spend their earnings as they choose. They have the flexibility to use branded plastic and virtual cards, mobile wallets, e-wallets, bank transfers, paper checks, and more, giving them the freedom to access and use their funds immediately.
By combining these steps, global payouts orchestration platforms ensure the fastest, and easiest payment process for businesses of all sizes, making global payouts smarter than ever before. Much like Trivago revolutionized travel booking by aggregating and optimizing every option for the consumer, payouts orchestration is transforming global payments by bringing together global networks into one streamlined, intelligent platform.
