Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for controlling message routing for transaction processing platforms. The routing of transaction messages mitigates service disruptions to client systems facilitating transactions with consumers. A connection management and transaction routing platform (CMTRP) system applies routing configurations, such as passthrough, throttling, and/or maintenance toggle configurations, to facilitate the routing of transaction messages. This routing may route message to different transaction processing platforms and/or different instances of transaction processing platforms. The CMTRP system also routes transaction messages when transaction processing functionality is being migrated from a first transaction processing platform to a second transaction processing platform and/or when a platform is undergoing maintenance.

Abstract: Error-testing of merchant messages to be used with point-of-sale (POS) devices is performed by an automated system that receives a formatted message to be tested from a merchant or an agent of the merchant, performs a computer-implemented evaluation of the message according to predefined message-validation rules to detect one or more errors, and notifies the merchant or the agent of evaluation results. The evaluation results include a listing of each detected error, if any.
