Payment success rate, honestly

+3ppattributable product lift

The problem

I owned payment success rate on RummyCulture, about 2.5 lakh transactions a day. Over my tenure success rate rose meaningfully, but part of that was the UPI ecosystem maturing, not product alone.

What I did

  • Killed a misclick bug at the point of failure.
  • Surfaced failure reasons and added a retry path.
  • Added smart gateway routing.
  • Attributed honestly, separating product lift from the ecosystem tailwind.

Impact

  • About 3pp blended, attributable to product, from a stack of small funnel fixes.

No silver bullet on success rate. You win by stacking small measured fixes and being honest about which ones moved it.
