Cost Management

The right retry strategy boosts revenue and customer LTV while reducing loss and risk. Balancing recovery potential with processing costs and penalties can be tricky. Pagos’ Cost dashboards show total costs and fees, flag new or spiking charges, and offer tips to cut penalties. Every retry has a cost—don’t retry blindly!

Decline Code Guidance

Not all declines deserve a retry. Pagos helps decode decline reasons for both initial and retried transactions, revealing which issues are recoverable and which are not. Some hard declines signal that retrying will only increase costs. With Pagos, you get the full context to build smart retry rules, avoid unnecessary fees, and protect your approval rate.
