# What are the cons of using payment orchestration?

The cons of having multiple payment gateways:

* **Management:** businesses must invest time and resources to manage these systems, make sure they function well together, and continuously monitor their performance. 
* **Cost:** cach gateway might involve its own setup fees, monthly charges, and transaction fees. 
* **Integration:** before Stripe orchestration you needed to build Integrations but today you don’t need to.
* **Customer experience:** variations in payment interface, processing times, and available payment options across different gateways might confuse customers or detract from a smooth checkout process.
