## Overview


Juspay's travel orchestration platform is a payments operating system for airlines that simplifies global payment coverage and orchestration, streamlines customer experiences, deters fraud, minimises processing costs and payment operations, and unifies reconciliation. Airlines operate across a mosaic of currencies and markets and carry hidden costs — cross-border interchange, foreign-exchange (FX) conversion charges, and slow settlement cycles — that every ticket, loyalty redemption, or ancillary upsell compounds. They must also work with many partners across the payment journey (global distribution systems (GDS), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), point-of-sale systems, card schemes, and acquirers), where a single new feature can require changes across the whole chain. Juspay unifies and streamlines these fragmented, multi-country payment workflows into one operating system, simplifying local payment method coverage, regulatory compliance, cross-border transaction fees, and multi-currency settlement.


Airlines and travel companies shown as Juspay customers include Air India, Singapore Airlines, SpiceJet, IndiGo, Etraveli, KKday, Accor Plus, Minor, Agoda, and Wego.

## Airline payment orchestration


The platform brings six capabilities together for airlines:


- **Global payment coverage:** access 300+ payment service providers (PSPs) and alternative payment methods (APMs) worldwide.
- **Streamlined payment and finance operations:** unified payment analytics, refunds and disputes with 3-way reconciliation, and a FinOps (financial operations) suite (virtual cards, supplier payments, expense management).
- **Superior checkout experience:** a unified checkout across platforms with region-specific customisation, 3-D Secure (3DS) flows, a loyalty engine, tokenisation, and a card vault.
- **Optimised costs and reduced fraud:** fraud and risk management (FRM) flows, dynamic 3DS optimisation, and lower cross-border fees through custom routing and local acquiring.
- **Higher authorisation rates:** dynamic real-time routing, smart retries, and UI/UX enhancements.
- **Travel payment workflows:** PSS integration, GDS integration, the IATA Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP), pay-at-hotel, straight-through processing, vendor payouts, price locking, and loyalty redemption.


Underpinning these capabilities, Juspay enables worldwide payment processing through no-code connectors to 300+ payment service providers (PSPs), with intelligent workflows that maximise acceptance rates, reduce processing costs, combat fraud, and enhance operational efficiency.


## Local payment coverage by region


Passengers in emerging markets often have low global-card penetration, so local acceptance drives conversion. Representative alternative payment methods Juspay enables include, by region:


- **Brazil:** Pix.
- **Middle East (UAE):** Tabby.
- **South-East Asia:** GrabPay, PayNow (Singapore).
- **Global BNPL:** Klarna and Affirm (Buy Now Pay Later).


Global wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported alongside these, with access to 300+ PSPs and local payment methods worldwide, enabled with a click and tuned through A/B experiments.


## Unified and localised checkout


The passenger checkout is built around four properties:


- **Frictionless:** one-click experiences via Click to Pay with passkeys, payment links, Pay by Bank, and 1-click wallet payments.
- **Secure:** integrated 3DS intelligence, FRM, and secure vaulting.
- **Localised:** regional payment methods, Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), and localised languages.
- **Customisable:** unified experiences across mobile and web, everywhere in the world.


## Travel ecosystem connectivity


Juspay sits deeply within the travel payment ecosystem, connecting to GDS platforms such as Sabre and Amadeus,PSS platforms such as Amadeus, Sabre and Navitaire, online travel agencies (OTAs) and travel management companies (TMCs) such as Wego, MakeMyTrip, and Agoda, acquirers, the IATA BSP, a broad set of APMs (Klarna, Google Pay, GrabPay, Affirm, Apple Pay, PayNow), and card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, UnionPay). This connectivity lets an airline's booking and payment systems work together rather than in silos.


## Airline payment workflows


Acting as a payments operating system, Juspay unifies fragmented multi-country airline workflows and supports travel-specific flows: GDS integration, IATA BSP settlement, pay-at-hotel, straight-through processing, vendor payouts, price locking, and loyalty redemption. Two airline-specific controls stand out in the single-view control centre: PNR fulfilment (Passenger Name Record) keeps the booking system and payment systems in sync, and an integrity check verifies price consistency between the Passenger Service System (PSS) and the GDS.


## The orchestration control tower


Orchestration sits atop the payment stack like a control tower — deeply integrated with every partner, dynamically routing transactions, retrying failures, and adapting presentment by device, currency, or issuer response in real time. The same card transaction may be approved in one region and declined in another because of issuer behaviour, local routing logic, or fraud checks, and every failed authorisation is a lost seat as much as lost revenue. A travel orchestration layer converts high-latency, high-failure cross-border payments into successful local transactions — for example, routing a Singapore passenger's booking made in Paris through a domestic acquirer to improve success rates and cut fees. For business-to-business (B2B) flows, orchestration strengthens the airline's position within the IATA BSP: by issuing virtual cards at booking and routing payments locally, airlines enable secure, real-time ticketing while converting interregional flows into on-us transactions (kept within the same network), cutting FX costs and boosting margins. Multi-Currency Pricing (MCP) and DCC add price transparency and reduce FX risk by converting currencies at checkout.


## Offers and affordability


The PSP-agnostic offers engine provides end-to-end promo management from procurement to redemption to abuse controls. Airlines can apply travel-specific custom rules — travel source and destination, trip type (one-way or round-trip), flight type, cabin class (business or economy), and travel type (international or domestic) — and integrate with booking systems such as Navitaire, where Juspay promo codes link to the system and auto-apply the maximum discount per passenger. Further controls include capping the discount amount (promo codes based on minimum order value with maximum discount limits), Visa Installments, code mapping to cap total discount per transaction by merchant rule, and targeting by user type and booking source.


## Fraud management


Juspay's intelligent fraud-management engine integrates into the airline's systems and combines enhanced screening precision with insights from FRM providers to keep operations smooth even in riskier markets, combating fraud at every step of the payment journey.


## Reconciliation and analytics


Multi-region, multi-processor reconciliation manages diverse settlement files spanning regional transacting currencies, taxes, fees, and conversion rates in one unified, normalised dashboard. A single-view control centre then surfaces processing costs and every other payment metric, with N-way reconciliation, conversational analytics powered by AI, unified multi-country visibility, customisable alerts and reports, AI-driven performance recommendations, and a unified view of refunds and chargebacks across PSPs.
