Automate payments with flows

Problem

Payment workflows often require custom logic for routing, retries, and post-payment actions.

Architecture

Flow automation
Trigger Event
Flow Engine
Payment Routing
Webhook Handler
Fulfillment

Implementation

Implementation

  1. 1Define a flow with routing and retry rules.
  2. 2Trigger the flow from a payment or checkout event.
  3. 3Handle webhooks for success or failure states.
  4. 4Automate fulfillment or customer notifications.

API example

Create flow
const flow = await orangepill.flows.create({
  name: "payment-routing",
  triggers: ["payment.created"],
  actions: ["route_payment", "notify_customer"]
})

Production considerations

  • Keep flows idempotent across retries.
  • Separate routing logic from fulfillment logic.
  • Use observability events for debugging.
  • Test flows in sandbox before enabling.
