Route group
A route group is the ordered list of terminals that a routing branch ends in: the providers that can take this kind of payment, each with a priority, a weight for sharing traffic between equals, and limits. The first terminal by priority and weight that passes its limits gets the payment; on a soft decline the cascade moves to the next; the group's size and order decide both the recovery and the time the payer waits.
Designing a group
Group by method and country, so that every terminal in a group can actually take the payment. Order by approval rate and cost, and use weights only between terminals you consider equal. Keep groups short: a payer will not wait through five attempts, and the schemes limit reattempts. Give each terminal limits that mirror its contract, so a group never pushes a provider over its caps.
Reading a group’s numbers
Per group and per day: the approval rate of the first terminal, the share recovered by the later ones, the time to result and the fee per approval. A group whose second terminal recovers nothing is a group with a wrong classification or a wrong order; a group whose second terminal recovers a lot at twice the fee needs a decision, not a celebration.
On the platform
In Tranzify’s flow builder a route group is a terminal block list at the end of a branch, stored with the flow’s version; the journal records which terminal of the group answered what for every payment.
