Load Balancing

Overview

Load balancing enables you to leverage the benefits of collaborating with multiple acquiring banks. It determines the transaction routing by specifying the appropriate Mid to which a transaction should be directed.

It can be utilised in two ways:

1. Set up through Mids: In this approach, you specify the percentage splits between Mids and then this is configured in the Acquired.com Hub by our Support team. Load balancing will then automatically occur when a transaction request is submitted (without the need to specify a Mid value within your request).
2. Specify Mid in request: Unlike the previous option, you will manually specify which Mid a transaction is routed to by submitting the required Mid value in the request.

Note

If you have multiple companies set up, you will have to define the load balancing structure for each individual company.
