Hellgate Cloud Platform The Hellgate Cloud Platform is a comprehensive payment infrastructure that provides secure, scalable, and flexible solutions for modern payment processing. It is the implementation of what we defined to be the Composable Payment Architecture. Built with composability and compliance at its core, the platform enables you to build sophisticated payment experiences while maintaining the highest security standards.

​
Infrastructure & Deployment

Hellgate Cloud Platform services are designed with enterprise-grade infrastructure in mind.

​
Flexible Deployment Options

Hellgate Cloud Platform services run on dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure hosted on Microsoft Azure across multiple regions. You choose a region close to your business workloads—reducing transaction latency, satisfying data residency requirements, and keeping your payment infrastructure where your operations are. For a full list of available locations, see the Azure global infrastructure overview. Always dedicated, always yours Every Hellgate service is provisioned exclusively for your organisation. There are no noisy neighbours: compute, storage, and network resources are never shared with other clients. Your payment data is physically isolated at the infrastructure level, with no possibility of cross-tenant access. We operate and manage the infrastructure on your behalf, but full data ownership stays with you. Commerce V2: shared infrastructure also available Commerce V2 is the one exception to the dedicated-only model. Alongside dedicated deployments, we also operate a shared Commerce V2 service—available for both Test and Production tiers. This means you can run production payment workloads on our shared Commerce V2 infrastructure, not just test environments. The shared service is fully managed, fast to onboard, and a cost-effective starting point when complete infrastructure isolation is not a hard requirement.

Built on its own foundation

We not only defined the Composable Payment Architecture — we are building our own products from it. Commerce V2, the platform’s own full-stack orchestration service, is built on the same Hellgate cloud components that we make available to you.

This means the platform proves its own architecture under real production conditions. The components powering your payment setups are the same ones powering ours. These components are released progressively — the platform products below show what is currently available.

Platform Products

The Hellgate Cloud Platform currently consists of two main products, with more services rolling out soon:

Commerce

A unified payment processing API for handling payments, tokens, authentications, and mobile wallets. Commerce V2 provides a programmable platform-as-a-service designed around four main domains: Payments, Tokens, Authentications, and Mobile Wallets.

Guardian

A fully PCI-compliant tokenization service delivered as managed dedicated infrastructure. Guardian provides a protective layer between your services and sensitive payment data, enabling composability without compliance concerns.

Hub

Coming SoonOrchestration fabric that connects your entire payment stack. Hub links acquirers, PSPs, and fraud prevention tools into one coordinated system with intelligent routing and automatic retries.

Specter

Coming SoonReal-time fraud intelligence layer that analyzes every transaction as it moves through your payment flow, assigning risk scores and automatically blocking bad actors before they reach checkout.

Link

Coming SoonUnified PSP abstraction layer that gives you instant access to acquirers, PSPs, and services through a single interface, so you can scale globally without touching another integration.

Pulse

Coming SoonReal-time observability and metrics layer that transforms raw transaction data into live insights, streaming events and surfacing performance trends across every flow.
