Payment orchestration platforms have become the go-to solutions for businesses looking to optimize their payment performance. The following tips show how you can utilize ZOOZ’s unique solution-features to optimize the way you extract information, find payments, or make alterations to, or within your stack— easily. The small tweaks and changes affect transaction approval rates, and should therefore be added to your arsenal for ongoing payment optimization and ease of operation.

Webhooks
Webhooks are designed to alert and give you updates about your stack, but webhooks can be used for more than mere updates. They can also be integrated into your invoicing system, for example, to make the lifecycle of payments more streamlined. Learn more about webhooks here.

Payment Search
Inspecting specific payments in your system is sometimes necessary, and thanks to the ZOOZ elastic search options, payment professionals can easily narrow down payments by using the ready-made design fields or by specific search shortcuts e.g. “amount:123” to find payments according to specific identifications or search with an asterisk (*) to find payments with partial email addresses, reconciliation ID, order ID and more (e.g., “123*” to find “12345”).

Reporting Tools
Reports can be created as complex or as simple as you wish, but it’s important to be aware that there are always to extract more information from your reports and make them richer and more valuable for your BI. Adding additional fields to your reports can give you a better view of your payment’s performance whether you wish to know your provider performance, payment method used, or performance according to geographical location. All of these components add up and affect your approval rates, and should therefore be taken into account in the larger scheme of your payment operation.

Decision Engine
After extracting insights from your payments thanks to the aforementioned reporting tools, the next step is to implement these insights into your actual payment performance. To do that, you have the ZOOZ decision engine. With more than 150 different configurations, every business need can be met with ease.

The ZOOZ platform allows you to easily do so via the Decision Engine -> Block Rules feature. Transactions can blocked according to specific transaction-indicators, card properties, transaction amount, or other customized features.

A/B Testing
Optimization starts with the flexibility to route payments.
