DeclineBridge

Get the decline across.

When a charge fails, DeclineBridge builds a path back to approval. Issuer-aware retries, card updates, and customer prompts recover revenue without adding checkout friction.

The crossing

Three moves from failed to paid

No random retry spam. Each decline gets a route, a window, and a customer-safe next action.

01

Catch the decline

DeclineBridge sees the failed charge as it happens and tags the issuer code, method, and customer context.

02

Choose the crossing

Retry, request an updated card, or send a customer prompt — whichever path gives that decline the best chance.

03

Land the payment

The recovered charge posts back to the original order, with a full trail of what ran and why it worked.

Capabilities

Built to move money that already tried

DeclineBridge sits after checkout fails and before the sale is written off.

Issuer-aware routing

Hard declines stop. Soft declines get a timed retry. Network timeouts replay immediately. The route matches the code, not a blunt schedule.

Retry windows

Pacing that respects issuer cooling periods and customer billing cycles.

Card updates

Ask for a new method when the stored card is expired, lost, or replaced.

Customer prompts

Short, branded outreach when a human action is the only way across.

Recovery analytics

See recovered revenue, win rate by decline type, and where money still leaks.

Auditable controls

Every attempt is logged so finance and compliance can follow the path.

Decline map

Every code gets a route

The same decline is not treated the same way twice. The crossing depends on why the issuer said no.

  • 51Insufficient fundsHold, then retry on the next viable balance window.
  • 54Expired cardTrigger an updater and a one-tap customer prompt.
  • 05Do not honorCool off, then try an alternate route if the profile allows.
  • 41 / 43Lost or stolenStop retries. Notify the merchant and the customer.
  • 91 / 96Issuer or network timeoutImmediate replay before the customer leaves the order.
  • N7 / 82CVV or AVS mismatchAsk for a clean method instead of burning more attempts.
