Design how every payment moves
Build and adjust payment flows on a visual canvas, from authorization and fraud checks to capture, refunds, and smart routing. Make changes in minutes and see exactly what happened to every transaction.

Full control over every payment
Most payment stacks force a trade-off between control and engineering time. With Payrails Workflow Studio, you become the orchestrator. Design, route, replay, and refine every payment flow from a single visual editor without the need for tickets or redeployments.
Build visually, no code required
Design the entire payment lifecycle with a canvas. Combine triggers, actions, and conditions into flows that match exactly how your business runs. What used to require an engineering sprint now takes minutes.
Route with custom rules
Apply smart routing based on payment method, fraud score, BIN, geography, or provider health — proceed, challenge, or block automatically. Fail over the moment a provider degrades, remember which PSP worked last, and fall back across network tokens. Split traffic and retry with logic tailored to each decline reason.
Replay any transaction
Workflow Replay animates the exact path a payment took through your flow. Pinpoint where a payment failed, confirm your logic works as intended, and stop guessing at what might have happened between authorization and settlement.
Version, validate, ship
Manage multiple workflow versions, set a default, and move configurations between environments with import/export. Shift a % of traffic to a new version and measure before rolling it out fully. Built-in validation catches misconfigurations before they reach production to ensure that changes go live safely.

A payment workflow is the sequence of steps a transaction moves through: authorization, fraud checks, 3D Secure, capture, refunds, and routing between providers. With Payrails, you design and manage these workflows visually in Workflow Studio, without writing code.
