Load balancing
Spread volume across MIDs and keep every account healthy
Distribute transactions with round-robin or percentage splits. Stay under MID caps, avoid concentrating risk and keep chargeback ratios in a healthy range.
Round-robin or split
Rotate evenly across MIDs or assign a precise percentage to each one.
Cap-aware
MIDs that reach their daily or monthly limit are skipped automatically.
Healthier ratios
Spreading volume keeps disputes from piling up on a single account.
Why concentration hurts
Sending all your volume to one MID uses up its caps quickly and concentrates disputes in one place. Chargeback ratios are calculated per account, so one bad week on a single MID can trigger a review. Balancing volume reduces that exposure.
Round-robin and percentage split
Round-robin rotates transactions evenly across a group of MIDs. Percentage split lets you weight them, for example 50% on your main account and 25% on each of two newer accounts while they ramp up.
- Even rotation for MIDs with similar limits
- Weighted splits for accounts with different caps
- Separate groups per product, country or funnel
Caps that are enforced automatically
Set daily and monthly caps on each MID. As an account approaches its limit, the balancer shifts traffic to the others. When the period resets, the MID re-enters rotation.
Ramp up new MIDs safely
New accounts often come with lower limits. Start them with a small percentage, watch approval and dispute data, and increase their share as they build history.

FAQ
Questions about load balancing.
What is the difference between routing and load balancing?
Routing decides which MID or group should receive a transaction based on its attributes. Load balancing decides how volume is shared inside that group.
Can I change percentages at any time?
Yes. New weights apply to new transactions as soon as you save them.
What happens when every MID in a group hits its cap?
Transactions follow your fallback route. You can define a backup group so sales continue.
Does load balancing reduce chargebacks?
It does not stop disputes from happening, but it spreads them across accounts so no single MID carries a disproportionate ratio.
Can subscriptions be balanced too?
Yes. Rebills can follow the same balancing rules, since stored cards can be charged on any connected MID.
