Hellgate® is Starfish's unified payment orchestration platform, built to empower merchants with flexibility, control, and innovation in their payment infrastructure.
We offer two distinct flavors:
A managed, opinionated orchestration-as-a-service for fast-moving teams. Designed for those who want best-practice orchestration patterns out of the box — with minimal setup and maximum scale. Hellgate Commerce handles routing, retries, and provider abstraction with no infrastructure overhead.
✅ Turnkey orchestration
✅ No hassle compliance
✅ Rule-based routing
✅ Optimized integrations
✅ End-to-end observability
The Composable Payment Architecture (CPA) is a managed infrastructure offering that brings the power of orchestration to hybrid and in-house orchestration. CPA enables enterprises to tailor their own payment stack using modular services, deployed as managed infrastructure.
With CPA, you're not just integrating — you're architecting.
🔹 Composable services (data vault, routing, and many more)
🔹 Flat-rate pricing based on scale
🔹 Add-on services with buy-rate-based pricing
🔹 Built for long-term ownership and extensibility
