HyperSwitch

Self-Hosted

Open-source payment switch for unified global transactions

Overview

HyperSwitch is an open-source payment switch that unifies 100+ global gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay) into a single API. It supports multi-currency payments, real-time reporting, fraud prevention, and fallback mechanisms to reduce failures. Deployable via Docker/Kubernetes or manual setup, it lets businesses control payment data, lower transaction costs, and avoid vendor lock-in. Ideal for startups/enterprises streamlining payments with infrastructure flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is HyperSwitch hard to install?

HyperSwitch offers Docker Compose/Kubernetes manifests for easy deployment, accessible to teams with basic DevOps knowledge. Non-technical users can opt for the cloud version, but self-hosting requires gateway configuration and dependency setup.

? Is it a good alternative to Stripe Connect?

Yes—HyperSwitch unifies more gateways in some regions, provides self-hosted data control, and avoids lock-in. However, Stripe Connect includes integrated services like invoicing that HyperSwitch lacks.

? Is it completely free?

HyperSwitch’s core open-source version is 100% free (MIT license). The cloud-hosted plan has paid tiers based on transactions, but self-hosting incurs only infrastructure costs.
