Recommendations

Ranked by estimated impact on recoverable revenue — click the ⓘ for the calculation

1

Enable automatic retry on "insufficient funds" soft declines

30% of your declines fall under this reason, often temporary. A retry at day+1 recovers ~20% of these transactions on average.

2

Simplify the 3DS flow for Revolut / N26 customers

Together these two issuers account for 157 monthly "3DS not completed" declines — see their individual breakdowns above — with a drop-off rate well above your average.

+€34,300/yr

Review your fraud tool's rules

211 customers declined for suspected fraud went on to pay successfully within 48 hours — a possible sign of false positives.

Add local payment methods for Benelux buyers

iDEAL and Bancontact adoption is high in NL/BE; without them, card-only checkout pushes some buyers to abandon rather than decline.

Send pre-expiry dunning emails for cards expiring soon

5% of declines are simply expired cards. A reminder before renewal lets returning customers update details before checkout fails.

Apply SCA exemptions for low-value transactions

Under PSD2, purchases below €30 can qualify for a low-value exemption, skipping 3DS entirely where the issuer allows it.
