Cascading

Struggling with low acceptance rates and losing out on revenue because of card declines?

Optimise payment acceptance by re-trying declined transactions via alternative routes

The Problem: High transaction decline rates can lead to customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of revenue if merchants are not re-attempting declined transactions.

Our solution:

  • Automatically re-attempt non-fraudulent declined transactions within milliseconds to convert them into approvals.

  • Achieve up to 30% success in turning declines into approved transactions, significantly boosting revenue.

  • Allows routing rules for cascading through the same or alternative acquirer routes to maximise performance.

FAQs

What is Cascading?

Cascading automatically reattempts non-fraud declined transactions, rather than failed ones, through alternative acquirer routes to convert declines into approvals, optimizing revenue and ensuring compliance with payment scheme rules.

Are you compliant with Scheme rules?

Yes, we don't Cascade fraud based declines and we are within the 15 re-attempt limit.

How many Cascades can I do?

Up to 4 to ensure we comply to scheme regulations.

Can you Cascade a failed transaction?

No. A failed transaction indicates that there is an underlying issue with the transaction message. Reattempting a failed transaction would not resolve this and require further investigation.

How can I track cascading performance?

Easily, through the APEXX portal.
