FAQs

What is Cascading?

Cascading automatically reattempts non-fraud declined transactions, rather than failed ones, through alternative acquirer routes to convert declines into approvals, optimizing revenue and ensuring compliance with payment scheme rules.

Are you compliant with Scheme rules?

Yes, we don't Cascade fraud based declines and we are within the 15 re-attempt limit.

How many Cascades can I do?

Up to 4 to ensure we comply to scheme regulations.

Can you Cascade a failed transaction?

No. A failed transaction indicates that there is an underlying issue with the transaction message. Reattempting a failed transaction would not resolve this and require further investigation.

How can I track cascading performance?

Easily, through the APEXX portal.
