Payment acceptance is the percentage of attempted payments that are successfully authorised and accepted. In credit-card terminology, this is often called the authorization rate. Failed payments — whether declines by the card issuer, routing issues, or declines due to fraud filters — are a major source of lost revenue in online commerce because acceptance rates for card-not-present (online) payments are generally lower than for in-person transactions.
