Validate Before You Authorize with Real-Time Issuer-Backed Signals

PreCheck runs a real-time pre-flight check on card data before you submit an authorization. It verifies key inputs against issuer data, helping you quickly determine whether a transaction is worth sending.

Avoid the Cost of Bad Authorizations Before They Reach the Network

Every declined authorization creates avoidable cost. PreCheck helps you filter or correct weak transactions upstream so you can reduce waste, protect conversion, and avoid sending bad data into the payment network.

Network Fees

Reduce unnecessary authorization attempts that still generate cost.

Lost Revenue

Recover transactions that would otherwise fail from correctable input errors.

Fraud Exposure

Catch clearly bad or suspicious card data before authorization.

Customer Experience

Prompt for corrections before failure instead of declining after submission.

Make Smarter Authorization Decisions at the Most Critical Point in the Flow

PreCheck gives you control before authorization is attempted. Use strong matches to move forward confidently, prompt customers to correct errors before retrying, or block transactions flagged as bad or fraudulent.

  • Proceed with confidence on strong matches
  • Prompt users to correct errors before retry
  • Block transactions flagged as bad or fraudulent
  • Choose how strict your workflow should be

Built for High Decline Environments Where Marginal Gains Matter Fast

PreCheck is especially effective for merchants with elevated decline rates. If your decline rate is above approximately 20%, it can help reduce waste quickly and improve overall approval performance.

Fewer Unnecessary Attempts

Cut authorization traffic that is unlikely to succeed.

Recovered Revenue

Save transactions lost to simple data-entry mistakes.

Better Approval Rates

Improve the quality of the traffic you send for authorization.


Simple to Add Directly Before Gateway Authorization
