This is the recommended mode for normal use. | | **Volume-Based (sequential)** | 100% of traffic goes to a single credential until it reaches its USD target. Then it moves on to the next one. | In volume mode you define a **sequence of rules**. Each rule is a credential with a USD target. A **cursor** marks the active rule: when that rule reaches its target, the cursor moves to the next one. When the last one is completed, it goes back to the first and starts a new cycle. **Example:** with two 500 USD rules (Stripe and Whop), the first 500 USD are charged through Stripe, the next 500 through Whop, and then it goes back to Stripe. *** ## Before you start You need the gateways you want to split volume between connected in **Payment providers**. They must be active to receive payments. *** ## Step 1. Open Volume Routing In the side menu, under **Payments**, open **Volume Routing**. ![Volume Routing page with its three blocks](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-01-overview.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=2eef8265786e0cf2491ca872ccb17411) The page has three blocks: **Routing mode**, **Current state** and **Rules sequence**. *** ## Step 2. Choose the routing mode In **Routing mode**, select **Volume-Based (sequential)**. ![Routing mode block with Volume-Based (sequential) selected](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-02-routing-mode.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=823c0299ef3df2a7a1875371c1047a80) > **Note:** Switching modes doesn't delete any settings. You can go back to **Percentage (default)** whenever you want and your rules are kept. *** ## Step 3. Create the rules sequence In **Rules sequence**, click **Add rule**. A new row appears along with the **Unsaved changes** notice. ![New rule added with the Unsaved changes notice](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-03-add-rule.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=91f0ae73d0d00db1ea53a787166ca084) Fill in each rule: | Field | What to enter | | :- | :- | | **Credential** | The gateway that receives all traffic while the rule is active. Its type is shown below it (for example `STRIPE` or `WHOP`). | | **Target volume (USD)** | Volume in USD the credential must process before moving to the next rule. | | **Active** | **On** to include the rule in the sequence. With **Off** the rule is disabled without having to delete it. | Rules run from top to bottom. To change the order, drag the handle on the left or use the arrows. To delete a rule, use the trash icon. > **Note:** If a rule shows the **INACTIVE** label, its credential is disabled in **Payment providers**. Activate it there so it can receive payments. *** ## Step 4. Save Click **Save rules**. Changes aren't applied until you save. The rule currently receiving payments is marked **ACTIVE NOW** with a progress bar. ![Saved rules sequence with the active rule marked as ACTIVE NOW](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-04-rules-sequence.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=225bb4ea41f8a1876bff97e2e8835ce0) *** ## Step 5. Track the status The **Current state** block shows where you are in the sequence: | Field | What it shows | | :- | :- | | **Position** | Number of the rule the cursor is on. | | **Pinned credential** | Credential currently receiving all payments. | | **Progress** | Accumulated volume versus the active rule's target. | | **Completed cycles** | Number of times the whole sequence has been completed. | ![Current state block with position, active credential, progress and cycles](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-05-current-state.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=477e61d665950121b3bac68acdbae7ef) If you want to start again from the first rule, click **Reset cursor**. *** ## Step 6. Advanced options (optional) In **Routing mode**, click **Advanced options** to expand them. ![Volume Routing advanced options expanded](https://mintcdn.com/hurrypay/oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL/images/volume-routing-06-advanced-options.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=oD0Dix8PDKM-6CqL\&q=85\&s=d20375fe4aa8c2bbba9e3080c698a609) | Option | What it's for | | :- | :- | | **Reset cycle daily at 00:00** | Every day at midnight the cursor goes back to the first rule, so rotation works in 24-hour cycles. When disabled, the cursor only moves forward when the USD targets are met. | | **Max consecutive failed sales per gateway** | If the active gateway declines this number of sales in a row, the cursor skips to the next rule without waiting for the USD target. A successful payment resets the counter to zero. `0` = disabled. | > **Note:** 00:00 refers to the platform's time zone (**Europe/Madrid**). *** ## Done! Your volume routing is now set up. Hurry will send payments to each credential until its USD target and rotate through the sequence.
