Improve Transaction Success Rate
Paysafe Checkout lets you improve the transaction success rate by providing you the ability to salvage a failed payment using an alternate payment method. Paysafe Checkout’s in-built capabilities identify the card transactions that are likely to be declined and then suggest your customers an alternate payment method. This would potentially increase the success rate of the transactions.
Transaction Salvage functionality applies only to iGaming merchants.
