Revenue recovery

No checkout changes. No redirects. No customer registration. Just fewer lost sales.

Decline Recapture turns a failed payment event into a real-time decision. If a declined transaction can be saved, the order can continue as though the original payment succeeded.

01

Recover more declines

Analyze failed payments in real time, including categories like insufficient funds, to determine whether the sale can still be completed.

02

Preserve the checkout flow

Keep the experience invisible or low-friction for customers so saved orders do not feel like a separate payment product.

03

Pay on recovered revenue

Align cost with incremental sales by paying only when revenue is recovered rather than paying for another static tool.

Live recovery path

From declined to completed in four steps.

When the original card processor declines a customer purchase, the merchant can automatically send the declined transaction through OpenPath in real time. The transaction is evaluated against more than 200 data points. If it is eligible, the transaction can move from decline to approval and the customer receives the product or service.
