Gateway distribution is the concept of allocating the percentage of transactions that go to each payment gateway. Let us assume you are live on two payment gateways such as Paytm and Razorpay.
The gateway with the highest percentage will be considered the priority gateway, and if there is any downtime in this gateway, the payments are routed via the next highest percentage gateway.
