Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for triggering delayed transaction processing when certain transaction gateway problems are detected across a number of transactions. To complete a given transaction, a processing system may coordinate transfer of funds in a manner that includes communications among multiple third-party systems, such as a tokenization service or token vault, a payment gateway, and a bank or credit card processor. When there are connectivity or other problems with one of these other systems, a system and associated methods are provided for selectively delaying a subset of transactions while still providing some assurance to the transaction requestor and recipient that the transaction will proceed.
