About SmartRetry
SmartRetry is a payment recovery layer designed to turn declined online transactions into approved ones. It analyzes failed payments in real time, detects the root cause, and resubmits an improved version of the transaction to increase authorization success. Instead of relying on generic retry logic, SmartRetry dynamically adapts each retry based on issuer behavior, transaction attributes, and payment context. It integrates seamlessly with existing PSPs and payment infrastructure, requiring no changes to checkout or internal systems. By focusing on avoidable declines, SmartRetry enables merchants, PSPs, and acquirers to recover lost revenue and boost approval rates. Its success-based pricing ensures clients only pay for transactions that are successfully recovered.
What SmartRetry does
SmartRetry automatically recovers lost revenue from declined transactions by analyzing issuer signals and transaction data. It addresses systemic issues causing false declines in payment processing, retrieving revenue that businesses otherwise would lose. The solution is designed specifically for recovery, ensuring legitimate transactions are successfully processed and completed.
The user integrates SmartRetry into their existing payment infrastructure. When a transaction fails, SmartRetry conducts real-time diagnostics to determine the cause, optimizes the transaction parameters, and reprocesses it through the most effective route. Payment recovery occurs without the need for the user to alter their current payment systems, ensuring a seamless experience.
SmartRetry is targeted at businesses that experience significant lost revenue due to declined payments. It is particularly useful for online merchants and payment processors who want to improve their transaction success rates without overhauling existing systems.
