Smart Routing for Payments_ Reduce Declines, Increase Profit.pdf

When your customer clicks “Pay Now”, you expect the payment to go through. But many businesses still face declines even when the card is valid and funds are sufficient.Reasons can include bank routing issues, regional processor failures, mismatch of currency or card type, or insufficient fallback strategies.

Every declined transaction is lost revenue, wasted marketing cost and a frustrated customer.
Smart routing flips that dynamic. By routing each payment through the optimal path based on region, card type, processor performance you increase approvals and protect revenue.
You don’t need to drive more traffic; you just need more successful payments from the traffic you already have.

Increase Profit

2. ●Payment success defines customer trust and business growth.

●Every declined transaction equals lost revenue.

●Smart routing ensures every payment finds the best possible path.

●Let’s explore how intelligent routing drives profitability.
Introduction

3. What is Smart Payment Routing?
●A system that automatically selects the optimal payment gateway or
acquirer for each transaction.

●Uses real-time data and algorithms to determine the most successful
route.

●Balances performance, cost, and success rate dynamically.

4. How Smart Routing Works
●Evaluates transaction parameters like location, card type, and
currency.

●Routes payment to the gateway with the highest approval probability.

●Learns from past data to improve routing decisions over time.

●Adjusts instantly if a gateway faces downtime or high decline rates.

5. Problems with Static Routing
●Single gateway dependency increases risk of downtime.

●Higher decline rates due to fixed routing rules.

●Poor user experience from failed transactions.

●Missed opportunities to optimize processing fees.

6. Benefits of Smart Routing
●Boosts approval rates by selecting high-performing acquirers.

●Reduces transaction declined, improving customer
satisfaction.

●Minimizes payment processing costs.
