# SmartRetry > Turn failed payments into revenue Updated: 2026-08-23 Every page is available in two formats.

It analyzes declined transactions in real time, identifies the root cause, and resubmits an optimized version to increase the chance of approval. Unlike traditional retry logic, SmartRetry adapts each attempt based on issuer behavior, transaction data, and payment context. It works alongside existing PSPs without requiring changes to checkout or internal systems. On average, SmartRetry recovers approximately 30% of false declines, based on internal data. Recovery rates vary by industry, processor, and transaction profile. ## Core Pages - [Home](https://www.smartretry.com/index.md) - [Pricing](https://www.smartretry.com/pricing.md) - [About](https://www.smartretry.com/about.md) -
