The Future of Omnichannel Recovery: Better + Sensepass
April 27, 2026
- The Problem: Nearly 40% of card declines are due to “Non-Sufficient Funds” (NSF), representing a massive revenue leak for high-volume merchants.
- The Solution: Better’s real-time AI recovery engine is now integrated into the Sensepass ecosystem.
- The Result: Merchants & PSPs can now rescue lost sales instantly with zero development effort, combining seamless checkout with intelligent back-end recovery.
Bridging the Gap Between Online and In-Store Success
In today’s retail landscape, the checkout experience doesn’t end at the “Tap” or “Click.” For merchants using Sensepass to manage their omnichannel presence, the goal is clear: speed, security, and variety. However, even the smoothest checkout can be derailed by frustrating declines – specifically, a transaction rejected due to timing or temporary insufficient funds.
By partnering with Better, Sensepass adds a critical layer of recovery intelligence to its processing flow. This ensures that a failed transaction isn’t a lost customer, but rather a temporary hurdle that our AI solves in the background.
Core Features of the Better + Sensepass Integration
- Embedded NSF Optimization
Better’s machine learning models act as an automated safety net. We specifically target “timing” declines – those instances where a customer has the funds, but the bank’s snapshot says otherwise. We tackle these before they impact your bottom line.
- Zero Integration Effort
For merchants & PSPs already operating on the Sensepass network, activation is a “flip of a switch.” There is no need for additional development, new hardware, or changes to the customer-facing UI. The recovery happens silently and securely.
- Real-Time AI Decisions
Unlike traditional batch-retry systems that guess when to try again, Better analyzes hundreds of data signals; from issuer patterns to regional approval windows, to act at the exact millisecond when a recovery is most likely to succeed.
