Cybersource + Shuttle

Cybersource, a Visa solution, is an enterprise payment management platform that processes transactions in over 190 countries through more than 100 acquirer connections worldwide. Its Decision Manager is one of the most widely deployed fraud detection systems in payments, using machine learning models trained on billions of Visa network transactions to score risk in real time. Cybersource also provides token management, payer authentication, tax calculation, and reporting services, making it a comprehensive platform for large organizations that need centralized payment operations across multiple brands, regions, and channels. Its connection to the Visa network gives it unique data advantages for authorization optimization.

Shuttle integrates with Cybersource to bring its enterprise-grade capabilities into a flexible, PSP-neutral payment layer. Platforms connected through Shuttle can route transactions to Cybersource to leverage Decision Manager’s fraud scoring and Visa network authorization optimization, while maintaining parallel connections to other processors for redundancy or cost optimization. Shuttle’s Voice Checkout integration with Cybersource is particularly robust, as phone-based transactions, which historically carry higher fraud risk, benefit from Decision Manager’s real-time scoring. Payment Links and embedded checkout flows processed through Cybersource inherit its payer authentication and tokenization capabilities automatically.

Accessing Cybersource through Shuttle is a strategic choice for enterprise platforms that need the reliability and global reach of Visa’s infrastructure without committing to a single-vendor payment stack. Shuttle allows platforms to use Cybersource for high-value or high-risk transactions where Decision Manager’s fraud intelligence provides the most value, while routing lower-risk or lower-value transactions through more cost-effective processors. The result is an optimized payment operation that combines Cybersource’s depth of capability with the flexibility of a multi-PSP architecture, all managed through Shuttle’s unified integration and reporting layer.
