A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002015B1) outlines a computer-implemented method for dynamic routing of electronic transactions. The method involves receiving a request message from a point-of-sale (POS) system, transmitting it to a downstream entity, and receiving a response message with an initial destination processor identifier. If the initial processor is unsuccessful, a routing directive is determined, contextual data is retrieved, and a machine learning model selects a final destination processor. The method allows for updating the request message and routing it to the final destination processor, with temporal data stored in a database throughout the process.

Furthermore, the patent includes details on updating the message payload, contextual data parameters, user-configured routing directives, and error-based routing criteria. It also covers the selection of the final destination processor from a pool of candidates, training the machine learning model, and splitting the routing of messages based on anticipated volume. The patent extends to a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a system for dynamic routing of electronic transactions, emphasizing the importance of efficient and error-free processing in the realm of electronic transactions, particularly in the context of POS systems and payment gateways.
