A multi-provider payment orchestration layer for Go — one interface, several African payment rails, automatic failover. # 🧵 Loom **A multi-provider payment orchestration layer for Go — one interface, several African payment rails, automatic failover.** Loom sits between your application and payment providers like Paystack and Flutterwave, so your code calls one consistent API instead of hand-rolling retries, idempotency, and webhook parsing per provider. If one provider is down or erroring, Loom fails over to the next — automatically, with circuit breakers so a struggling provider gets skipped rather than repeatedly hammered. ```go result, err := client.Charges.Initialize(ctx, &types.ChargeRequest{ Amount: types.Money{Value: 500000, Currency: types.NGN}, // ₦5,000.00 Email: "customer@example.com", Reference: "order_1234", }) // Loom picks a provider, tries it, and fails over automatically if needed — // your code doesn't know or care whether Paystack or Flutterwave handled it. ``` --- ## Why Loom exists Integrating one African payment provider is manageable. Integrating three — each with its own SDK, its own webhook signature scheme, its own error shapes, its own uptime quirks — turns into duplicated glue code scattered across your app. Loom centralizes that: - **One request type in, one response type out** — regardless of which provider actually processed it - **Automatic failover** — a failed charge attempt on Provider A can retry on Provider B without your application code knowing - **Circuit breakers per provider** — a provider that's actively failing gets temporarily skipped instead of retried into the ground - **Idempotency built in** — duplicate requests (client retries, double form-submits) are locked and deduplicated before they ever reach a provider - **Normalized webhooks** — verify signatures and parse events from any supported provider into one `WebhookEvent` shape --- ## Supported providers | Provider | Charges | Refunds | Transfers | Virtual Accounts | Webhooks | |---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | Paystack | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Flutterwave | ✅ | ✅ | …
