At first glance, migration from your payment orchestration platform seems like a heavy project. But in practice, moving to Corefy is almost identical to onboarding as a new client. The only difference? It’s usually faster.
Most gambling operators who switch already understand payment orchestration’s value and have their MIDs and provider relationships in place. That means there’s no starting from scratch, just reconnecting the dots — with our team doing most of the heavy lifting. From creating your organisation and setting up the dashboard to plugging in providers and testing live transactions, we make the transition structured and predictable.
In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of moving from any payment orchestration platform to Corefy.
Why gambling merchants migrate to Corefy
When gambling operators or platforms decide to migrate, it’s rarely just about adding features — it’s about solving problems that directly impact revenue. In our onboarding conversations, the most common frustrations with other payment vendors were:
- Regulatory & business instability: recently, some major platforms in the market have faced regulatory scrutiny and internal issues. For gambling merchants, this raises serious concerns about continuity. Many are now looking for a stable, trustworthy partner — one that isn’t caught up in scandals and won’t suddenly stop serving them.
- Poor support: merchants felt left on their own, waiting days for answers or receiving generic replies instead of real solutions.
- Limited coverage: missing key payment methods or providers, especially those friendly to high-risk industries.
- Integration bottlenecks: merchants can end up waiting months, sometimes even over a year, for their requested integrations to be delivered. Long queues, unclear priorities, and sluggish execution mean critical providers or methods aren’t available when merchants need them, delaying launches and limiting growth.
- Unfriendly dashboards and limited capabilities: some orchestrators provide back offices that are clunky, unintuitive, and missing essential features. Instead of simplifying operations, they create extra manual work, make it hard to access key data, and often lack the advanced tools payment teams need for reconciliation, reporting, or risk management.
When payments are the lifeline of your business, these issues directly affect player trust, conversion rates, and ultimately revenue. That’s why many operators decide to look for alternatives and migrate.
At Corefy, merchants highlight very different experiences:
- Responsive support that solves problems. Our Onboarding Managers and technical specialists work side by side with you to resolve issues, not just log tickets. After onboarding, our Customer Success Managers and Support team continue to back you up. In fact, 89% of clients in our latest survey praised the efficiency and expertise of our payment team.
- 550+ ready integrations. From global acquirers to local APMs, hundreds of gambling-friendly providers are already available once you connect your keys. We roll out new integrations daily, maintain and update existing ones, and develop new connections on request. While there’s naturally a queue, we prioritise high-volume needs and work to be the fastest on the market.
- A dashboard built for growth. Corefy’s Dashboard gives you a powerful set of tools to manage your entire payment stack. From advanced routing and cascading to detailed reporting and reconciliation, it puts every key function in one place, helping your team move faster, make data-driven decisions, and capture more revenue opportunities.
- Proven success with gambling operators. We serve companies from the global top 20 of the gambling industry, with 30+ active payment providers running on our platform. 86% of our clients say Corefy perfectly meets their business needs — because our platform adapts to you, not the other way around.
Step-by-step guide to migrating to Corefy
Migrating to Corefy follows a clear, structured flow. While every project has its nuances, here’s what the process typically looks like:
1. Kick-off & scoping
After the sales handover, your journey starts with a kick-off call led by your Onboarding Manager. This meeting sets the foundation for everything that follows. Together, we:
- Define your MVP. We agree on the minimum set of providers, payment flows, and methods you need to start moving traffic.
- Identify gaps and align on priorities. If you need providers or methods not yet integrated, we outline how and when they’ll be added.
- Clarify product-specific requirements. From card limits and ACS flows to multi-currency support, map out your operational needs and include them in the setup plan. This also covers conversion settings and flexible routing filters at the MID level. For example, you can configure traffic rules so that transactions from specific countries never hit a given merchant account.
2. Setup & access
Once the contract is signed and the setup fee is paid, your organisation and dashboard are typically created the same day.
At this stage, you’ll also get access to our Service Desk, where every agreed task is logged and tracked in real time. This gives you full visibility over progress, while your Onboarding Manager keeps you updated and our technical specialists are on hand to troubleshoot alongside your team.
We also share initial training sessions and documentation to get your team oriented with the dashboard and processes from day one.
To speed up development further, we can prepare a tailored Postman collection for your project. Instead of combing through API docs, your developers can test exactly the flows you need, whether that’s cards only, cards plus APMs, payouts, tokenisation, etc. This often saves days and helps you reach the go-live stage much faster.

3. Integration & testing
This is where you connect your existing providers. You can choose the approach that works best for your team:
- Integrate yourself with our documentation and Postman collections.
- Join a guided call with our onboarding team (keeping credentials on your side).
- Let us do it end-to-end and hand over a ready-to-go setup.
Testing is a must before going live. Together, we confirm: a successful payment goes through; a failed payment is correctly processed; transaction statuses match in the provider’s back office and Corefy; settlement works as expected.
4. Gradual traffic switch
Migration doesn’t mean flipping a switch overnight.
Most operators start by routing a small share of traffic through Corefy to verify performance. Once they see matching approval rates and stable processing, they gradually increase until 100% of traffic flows through Corefy.
This phased approach ensures no downtime for your players.
5. Go-live & handover
When testing is complete, your onboarding manager sends the Go Live confirmation. From this moment, you’re officially live on Corefy. Billing begins as per the order form, and responsibility shifts to your dedicated Customer Success team.
Go Live marks a turning point. That’s when Customer Success team takes over. Their role is to build on the solid foundation from onboarding and work side by side with clients: tracking performance, suggesting optimisations, and opening doors to new providers or geographies as clients grow. We’re not just keeping the system running — we’re proactively looking at how payments can drive more deposits, faster payouts, and ultimately higher revenue.

What you need on your side for faster migration
While our team does most of the heavy lifting, a smooth migration also depends on a few things from your side. The good news is that if you’re already running on another orchestration platform, you likely have most of these in place.
API keys and MIDs
You’ll need access to your existing acquirer and PSP credentials. If you previously worked with another orchestrator, ensure you can extract these keys directly from your providers.
Developer
One dev is usually enough. Their task is to connect your system to Corefy using our documentation or Postman collection, handle callbacks, and ensure everything works smoothly on your site or app.
Domain (for white-label setups)
If you’re migrating as a PSP or running a branded player portal, you’ll need your own domain to host the white-label solution. Once it’s ready, we’ll map it to Corefy so your merchants and players see a fully branded interface.
Clear requirements
To speed things up, have a clear picture of what you need at launch: which providers must be live from day one, which flows you plan to run (deposits only, deposits + payouts, tokenisation, etc.), any custom product requirements (limits, ACS flows, etc.).
Time allocation
The single biggest factor in migration speed is how quickly your team is ready to act. Some operators plug in over a weekend; others take months because internal development is queued behind other priorities.
In short, if you have your MIDs, a developer, and clear priorities, you can migrate to Corefy without delays.
The Corefy Onboarding Team handled our launch perfectly and resolved all issues efficiently. Their ongoing support at every step made a big difference.

How long will migration take? Real timelines
Operators often ask: “How long will migration take?” The answer depends less on Corefy and more on how fast your team can allocate resources.
| Average timeframe | Setup type |
|---|---|
| 3-5 days | Straightforward setups when only card payments and a single flow need to be connected, and your developer is available to work on it right away |
| 1-2 weeks | Typical merchant migrations involving several providers and methods, plus testing |
| 2-4 weeks | More complex projects, such as PSP or white-label setups, or when migration is phased step by step |
| Over 1 month | If you require providers or methods we don’t currently support, we’ll assess the effort required to add them — in such cases, the timeline naturally becomes longer and is defined individually |
In every case, the migration timeline is driven by how quickly your team can provide API keys, confirm flows, and allocate a developer to the integration. With those pieces in place, Corefy ensures the rest of the process is as fast and smooth as possible.
How to migrate without the downtime
A big concern for any gambling operator is downtime. Even a short interruption can mean lost deposits, frustrated players, and revenue at risk. That’s why Corefy’s migration process is designed to be seamless and low-risk.
Instead of a “big bang” switch, most operators gradually route traffic through Corefy while still keeping their old setup live. They start with a small share of transactions to test real-world performance — approval rates, reconciliation, settlement flow — and scale up once everything looks stable.
This phased approach ensures:
- No downtime for players. Deposits and payouts keep running while you test.
- Confidence in stability. You can validate Corefy’s processing side by side with your old provider before fully switching.
- Flexibility in timing. Some merchants align their full cutover with contract expirations or billing cycles on their old platform.
Our team monitors closely during this phase, ready to troubleshoot in real time. That way, when you decide to switch 100% of your traffic to Corefy, it’s not a leap of faith — it’s a smooth handover.
Ready to switch?
Migrating your gambling platform’s payments doesn’t have to mean downtime, complexity, or endless delays. With Corefy, the process is structured, predictable, and often faster than you’d expect, especially if you already have your MIDs and provider relationships in place.
Our onboarding team sets up your organisation, builds the tools your developers need, and supports you every step of the way. You stay in control of the pace: start small, test with live traffic, and move everything over once you’re confident.
The onboarding team has been very responsive and helpful throughout the launch process. They provided clear instructions and addressed all our questions quickly. Communication was smooth, and we felt supported every step of the way.

For many operators, migration has taken days, not months. And once live, they benefit from broader coverage, smarter routing, faster payouts, and support that actually solves problems.
If you’re considering a switch, now’s the time to explore your options.
