Gateway Integration Agent: How We Cut Payment Gateway Integration Time from Weeks to Days
Razorpay developed an intelligent system called the Gateway Integration Agent to automate payment gateway integrations, reducing integration time from 2-3 weeks to 4-5 days and increasing throughput by 3x.
Why it matters
Automating payment gateway integrations can significantly improve development efficiency and throughput for fintech companies.
Key Points
- 1Payment gateway integrations are complex and time-consuming, with issues like API quirks, undocumented headers, and edge cases
- 2Razorpay built the Gateway Integration Agent on their SWE Agent platform to automate the integration process
- 3The system understands bank documentation, learns from existing implementations, and generates production-ready integration code with comprehensive test coverage
- 4This approach has reduced integration time, increased throughput, and freed developers to focus on complex edge cases
Details
Razorpay supports multiple payment methods across different gateways, each with distinct workflows, API contracts, and failure modes. Integrating a new gateway traditionally required extensive documentation reading, field mapping, error handling implementation, and comprehensive testing - a tedious, error-prone process. To address this, Razorpay built the Gateway Integration Agent, an intelligent system that automates the integration workflow. It understands bank documentation, learns from existing implementations, and generates production-ready integration code with test coverage. This has reduced integration time from 2-3 weeks to 4-5 days, increased throughput by 3x, and freed developers to focus on complex edge cases. The system is built on Razorpay's internal SWE Agent platform for engineering automation.
