Why this is canonical

'Payment orchestration' is an established and growing category in fintech — platforms that route transactions across multiple payment processors to optimize authorization rates, costs, and resilience. The .ai extension positions this name for the generation of orchestration products where AI governs routing decisions in real time.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Multi-rail payment routing
AI-driven orchestration across card networks, ACH, open banking, and alternative payment methods — maximizing authorization and minimizing cost.
Payment orchestration platforms, PSPs, enterprise treasury tech
Agentic B2B payment flows
Orchestrating multi-step B2B payment workflows — purchase orders, approvals, settlement, and reconciliation — with AI coordinating each step.
B2B payments companies, AP automation platforms, treasury management vendors

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
