Decrease Declines & Increase Revenue
OpenPath’s “Decline Recapture” solution will save up to 30% of those declined transactions recovering that lost revenue for you.
You pay good money to acquire customers, don’t let it go to waste. OpenPath helps you convert more customers at the very bottom of the funnel, lowering your CAC and increasing your LTV.
Lower CAC & Increase LTV
There's no monthly fee for this service, you only pay a percentage for transactions that are recovered - transactions that would have otherwise been lost on unwarranted declines.
Only Pay on Recovered Revenue
This solution doesn't affect the customer checkout experience whatsoever. Customers whose transactions are rescued by our solution receive their product or service as if their original payment transaction was successful.
Frictionless Real-time Transaction Flow
Instantly Increase Checkout Conversions - No Risk, All Reward
Companies that process payments online typically see 15% transaction declines. We buy those declines from you. (and yes that includes insufficient funds declines.)

Frictionless Real-time Transaction Flow
Instantly Increase Checkout Conversions - No Risk, All Reward
Companies that process payments online typically see 15% of transactions declined. In real-time, we analyze the declined transaction (and yes that includes insufficient funds declines). If it can be saved, we buy the declines from you which instantly turns the transaction from declined to approved!
You get the sale, the customer gets their product, and we take a small percentage of the saved transaction (that you would have otherwise missed out on). We will never chase your customers to collect funds.

$500Bn in sales are lost per year
due to payment declines
The average CAC in e-commerce is $70. When a payment decline happens not only do you lose the potential customer LTV, but the marketing spend it took to acquire that customer.
Less than 15% of declines represent actual fraud. The remaining 85% of declines could be successful sales and should be opportunities to retain a lost customer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The OpenPath Decline Recapture service remains invisible to customers until a payment transaction is declined. When this happens, a notification is sent to us. If the transaction is not eligible for our service, we will confirm the decline and the customer will see the payment decline message, as usual. If the transaction is eligible for our decline recapture service, the following cases are possible:
1. Frictionless flow. This flow takes place for failed transactions that can be rescued with no customer interaction. With this flow, customers are simply informed that there was an issue with their payment, but that the issue was resolved and their order was completed anyway.
2. Interaction required flow. This flow takes place for failed transactions that need some interaction with the customer. These interactions are handled via our UI widget and they always offer an exit route by simply closing the pop-up window.
What do customers see on their statements?
We process our transactions using a dynamic descriptor, which allows us to use the name of the merchant for each of our transactions. Customers will see the same merchant name they would have seen if the transactions were processed by you directly. We also offer the ability to use different descriptors for each of your websites. All these parameters are set in the merchant portal.
Decline Recapture is not a credit product. When payment transactions fail, merchants automatically assign these transactions to OpenPath. These are evaluated in real time. Any failed transaction that is rescued via Decline Recapture triggers a factoring service for the applicable invoice. Hence, Decline Recapture, through its technology, enables merchants to assign and factor their invoices.
Invoice factoring is not trading or a loan. Invoice factoring is different from traditional methods of lending and funding and as such is not regulated under the same legislation traditional lenders are subject to. Customers are not affected by this factoring transaction since there is no price increase, no change in the terms and conditions with the merchant, and no credit product or facility attached to this transaction.
