Priorities and Cap

Within each specific Merchant in the Router, you can set rules to prioritize specific merchants and set limitations, or caps on specific merchants.

Priority

Set MID priority to force a set amount of initials for a given timeframe. Priority logic require a weight, amount and timeframe.

Priority Weight: Weight sets the order in which merchant should be used if multiple Merchnats are setup with a Priority.

  • First {priority amount} of successful initial transactions will hit this merchant before it moves to the next merchant in the router.
  • The Priority Weight is a numeric value (1,2,3..) to determine which merchant order to go in.
  • If multiple Merchants have the Priority Weight of 1,

Priority Amount: Count of initials that you want to cap on the Merchant before moving to the next priority or moving to the router settings.

Timeframe: how often you want the Order Cap to apply to - day, week, month, etc

Example 1:

In this example, Merchant A and Merchant B are setup with Priority Weight = 1 and Amount = 5. Here is how 16 transactions would route. This router is a Round Robin.

🚧

PAY ATTENTION

Because Merchant A and B both share the Weight of 1, due to the order where Merchant A is listed first, ALL of Merchant A's priority limit will be met before moving the Merchant B's priority limit. Once both limits are met, the Initial Transaction Routing (ITR) of Round Robin will apply.

Order Cap

Set a cap on initial orders. Once that cap is hit, the merchant is disabled from the router

Order Cap Amount: Set a cap on initial orders. Once that cap is hit, the merchant is disabled from the router.

Timeframe: how often you you want the Order Cap to apply to - day, week, month, etc

Priority & Cap Logic

When using both Order and Priority, Order Cap takes precedence over Priority Amount.
