Policies
Per Merchant Transactions Per Second
Sustained ceiling on /payment.do, /openOrder.do, /settleTransaction.do, etc. set at onboarding and reviewed against contracted volume.
Per Merchant Site Transactions Per Second
DMN Retry Policy
Nuvei retries DMN delivery with exponential back-off until a 200 OK is received from the merchant notificationUrl. Persistent failure escalates to alerting.
Control Panel API Limits
Reporting and admin endpoints expose a separate, lower throughput envelope than the transaction APIs.
Sandbox Throttling
Sandbox environment (ppp-test.nuvei.com) is shared and may apply soft caps to prevent abuse.
