Intelligent routing
Intelligent routing
Google Pay transactions are routed to the processor most likely to produce the highest acceptance rate for the card type and geography behind the wallet — not defaulted to a single processor.
For SaaS businesses processing at volume, the difference between optimised routing and default routing is a measurable improvement in authorisation rate.

Decline code-aware retry logic
Decline code-aware retry logic
When a Google Pay transaction declines, the retry strategy is governed by the decline reason — not a fixed schedule. Soft declines are retried at the optimal interval for that failure type.
Hard declines are routed immediately to customer communications. The same intelligence applied to card transactions applies to Google Pay.

Fraud screening at the wallet level
Fraud screening at the wallet level
Google Pay’s tokenisation removes raw card data from the transaction, which reduces one fraud vector.
OpenByte adds a fraud scoring layer above the wallet — velocity checks, device signals, and behavioural patterns — that applies to Google Pay transactions alongside all other payment methods.

Unified reporting across methods
Unified reporting across methods
Google Pay acceptance rates, failure rates, recovery rates, and revenue contribution are visible in the same reporting layer as every other payment method.
Not in a separate Google Pay dashboard. In the unified payment reporting that covers your entire transaction volume.

The problem with Google Pay as a point integration:
The problem with Google Pay as a point integration:
Google Pay acceptance is table stakes. What happens after the tap is what matters.
Most SaaS businesses add Google Pay as a payment method and consider the job done. The button appears at checkout. Customers with Android devices and saved cards use it. Acceptance rates improve marginally.
What does not improve is everything that happens downstream of the initial authorisation.
A Google Pay transaction that fails on retry goes through the same blunt retry logic as every other failed payment. A Google Pay authorisation that succeeds but encounters a billing error produces the same downstream support query. A Google Pay transaction routed to a processor that has a poor acceptance rate for the card type behind the wallet produces a worse outcome than it should.
Google Pay is just the payment method.
OpenByte is the operational layer that determines what happens to every payment — including Google Pay transactions — from authorisation through to recovery, reconciliation, and reporting.

Google Pay for subscription SaaS is not the same as Google Pay for e-commerce
Google Pay for subscription SaaS is not the same as Google Pay for e-commerce
E-commerce Google Pay integrations are primarily about checkout conversion — getting a customer through a one-time purchase with minimum friction. That is a solved problem.
For subscription SaaS, the challenge is different. The first Google Pay authorisation is the beginning of a billing relationship, not the end of a transaction. The card behind the wallet will be retried on renewal.
It will be subject to the same card data decay that affects stored card details. It will produce the same failure modes — insufficient funds, card velocity limits, temporary issuer holds — that all payment methods produce at scale.
OpenByte’s payment orchestration handles the full lifecycle of a Google Pay payment relationship: initial authorisation, recurring billing, retry and recovery logic, card updater services for the underlying card, dunning communications, and chargeback management. The Google Pay button is the customer’s entry point. OpenByte governs everything from that point forward.

Built inside a SaaS business processing millions of transactions per month
Built inside a SaaS business processing millions of transactions per month
OpenByte was not built for the market and then tested in production. It was built inside a SaaS business operating at scale — serving over 6 million customers, processing 7 million+ transactions per month — and refined under real operational load before being made available to other businesses.
Google Pay acceptance is one element of a payment stack that has been running at that volume, daily, across multiple processors, geographies, and payment methods. The orchestration layer that governs Google Pay transactions at OpenByte is the same layer that governs every other payment method — proven under the kind of operational pressure that exposes the gaps in point integrations.
• 6M+ customers served
• 7M+ transactions per month
• 500M+ customer records
• PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider

Testimonial
From Startup to Market Leader.
OpenByte is the engine that powered our transition from startup to market leader.
The level of control OpenByte gives us is incredible. It touches every aspect of our operations, from customer acquisition to data analytics.
We use OpenByte for all communication with our customers, marketing emails, renewal notices and customer support (through emails, live chat & phone).
Most importantly, it allowed us to evolve our payments stack, drastically reducing payment failures and maximising success rates across multiple processors.
We simply couldn’t have scaled this efficiently without it.
