The Intelligent Operation Model
Unlike other gateways that close the session to first error, Alignet One using a model resilient. That allows a client to try and pay with different methods without you losing the sale.1. Operation (OP)
This is the master container for a sale. It begins when the customer opens the payment form.- Operation ID: Example
OP-12345. - Persistence: The operation remains active while the customer is in checkout.
- Purpose: Group all attempts under the same order number to simplify reconciliation.
2. The Transaction (TX)
This is each individual payment attempt made within an operation.- An operation can contain multiple transactions.
- The customer can switch between payment methods without restarting the process.
Real Example 1: Recovery of Sale
Imagine a customer with a cart totaling S/ 50.00. With this architecture, the flow works as follows:Business value: With a traditional gateway, this could result in two failed sales and a frustrated customer. With Alignet One, it becomes one successful sale with a clear transaction record.
Omnichannel payments in a single flow: Alignet One lets the customer retry with another card or switch payment methods without requiring the merchant to cancel the original order or the customer to enter all their information again. This reduces friction and can recover a sale after an initial decline.
