Failing to offer payment choices is a guaranteed failure to sell! Plain fact, the modern consumer has a near-limitless degree of choice and will gladly and unassumingly abandon a purchase at checkout if the merchant or service provider fails to offer convenient options, leading to lost revenue for the business.

Last month, I attended a session presented by Vojin Rakonjac from Endava and Fabien Mollinari from Aer Lingus at the Airline and Travel Payments Summit #ATPS2024 that was not short of a masterclass on orchestration.

It is well known that the travel industry operates on some of the most legacy infrastructure. Upgrading such payment infrastructure to accommodate even just new payment methods can be a complex process. Yet this is a significant revenue opportunity as the retailing approach, i.e. selling additional services and features alongside the core travel offering, represents a market that quite possibly ranges in the billions.

Payments go much beyond just entering details. They are about enhancing the customer experience, finding new customers, and expanding into new markets. There are however multiple interdependent layers, as simplified in the visual below, that ensure the seamless processing of transactions. These layers consist of various systems and components that collaborate, or rather have to rely on each others to facilitate the secure and efficient exchange of data for processing these transactions.

A built approach to a payment infrastructure that leverages orchestration involves developing a system where each layer is meticulously designed to be controllable and adaptable. This approach offers several benefits, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the payment process by integrating and managing those flows through a centralised point, with less dependency on the other systems.
