Use case summary
The connector for your provider already exists, so you don't need to write an adapter. You open your own account with the provider, enter the MID credentials, and configure routing and reconciliation as rules. Result: the timeline is set by the provider's own onboarding, and the engineering side stops being the long pole.

Why connecting is fast and going live is not
Connecting to a modern PSP's API is not hard. The documentation is good, the sandbox works, and an engineer can run a test payment in an afternoon.
Then the actual project starts. Mapping the provider's statuses onto yours, testing what happens when a payment fails halfway, getting reconciliation to line up with what finance expects, and collecting sign-off across compliance, finance, and engineering. Acquirer onboarding and the audit cycle run on their own calendar, and neither moves faster because you asked.
Most teams solve all of that once per provider, from scratch, because nothing in the setup makes the next one cheaper. So the fifth integration costs about as much as the first, and adding a provider stays a quarterly commitment instead of a weekly decision.
How adding a provider becomes configuration
The work that makes an integration slow is the same work for every provider: routing, status mapping, reconciliation. Done once in a shared layer, each new provider plugs into it, and the second costs less than the first.
- 1
Find the provider in the catalog
The public connectors directory lists 650+ integrated providers with the currencies, payment and payout methods, flow types, and features each one supports, so you can confirm coverage before any commercial conversation starts.
- 2
Open your own account with the provider
Contracts, MIDs, and settlement stay yours. Corefy never sits between you and your provider commercially, and the provider relationship is the one thing that still runs on its own timeline.
- 3
Link the credentials
Enter your MID credentials for that provider. The connector already exists, so nothing is written, reviewed, or deployed on your side to make the connection work.
- 4
Configure routing as rules
Where the new provider sits in your routing, and cascading logic is a configuration change in the dashboard. Adding it to a cascade does not mean touching the code that handles your other providers.
- 5
Reconcile on the same terms as everything else
Statements from the new provider land in the same normalized structure as the ones you already process, so reconciliation does not need a separate mapping built for it.
- 6
Go live over your existing setup if you have one
If you already run a proprietary gateway or another platform, Payment Bridge connects it as an extension layer. Setup takes about a day when your platform is one of the pre-integrated ones, and one to two weeks for a custom bridge.
What you get
What used to take a quarter of engineering time takes a configuration session.
The fifth provider costs less than the first
Routing, status mapping, and reconciliation are set up once, and every provider plugs into them.
Coverage decisions stop waiting on the roadmap
Adding a provider is a configuration change your payment team can schedule.
No adapter to write or review
The connector exists before you ask for it.
Your contracts stay yours
You hold the MID and the provider relationship exactly as you do now.
Only 43.9% of businesses can add a provider within a few days
Corefy's State of Payment Maturity research covered 672 businesses worldwide. Asked how quickly they could add a new payment provider or method, 43.9% said almost instantly, within a few days. For 15.6% it was a significant project, and for a further 12.2% it took several months, so for more than a quarter of the market, adding a provider is still a build every time. The same research found the fastest-growing group is businesses running five or more providers, up from 16.3% to 24.6% in a single year. How fast you can add one decides whether that group is reachable.
