Illustrative scenario · Fi + Vs
A retailer taking control of card costs
A US omnichannel retailer with stores and an online shop.
Illustrative scenario. A fictional type of business, not a customer. No results are claimed.
The problem
Card fees arrive as one blended number. Nobody can say why a payment went to one processor and not another, or what debit routing would save.
Value anatomy
- 01 · transaction
Card payments run through rules the retailer writes: by card type, channel and amount.
- 02 · rails
Eligible debit goes to the network the rules choose. A second acquirer takes a share of traffic in a parallel run.
- 03 · record
Every payment shows its route, its rule and its fee lines, so finance can model the next change before making it.
What it uses
| Routing rules | Rules by card type, region, amount or time. Reviewable and reversible. |
|---|---|
| Debit network choice | Send eligible debit to the network your rules pick. |
| Multi-processor acceptance | Run more than one acquirer behind one integration. |
| Parallel run | Mirror live traffic next to your current setup and compare each payment. |
| Cost modelling | Preview a routing or payout change before you make it. |
| Fee lines | Network, scheme and insimbi fees, itemized per transaction. |
insimbi is in early access with design partners.
