Revenue Recovery · Whitepaper 2025
Free Industry Whitepaper

Increase Completed Orders.
Cut Payment Fees.
Or Pay Nothing.

A Revenue Recovery System for UK vape, CBD, alcohol, tobacco and adult e-commerce — combining Telco-First age checks, Open Banking payments, and same-day settlement in one flow.

Regulators demand “highly effective” age verification. Card networks quietly take 1.5–3.5% of every sale and hold funds for days. This whitepaper shows how to turn compliance friction, card fees, and frozen cash into a single Revenue Recovery System.

Why this matters

You’re paying a silent tax on every checkout.

Most UK regulated merchants think they have an “age verification problem”. In reality, they have a revenue recovery problem.

  • Selfie and document-based checks cause up to 52% abandonment at checkout.
  • Card networks take 1.5–3.5% of every sale in processing fees.
  • T+2/T+3 settlement delays freeze cash you could use to buy stock and run ads.

Compliance friction kills conversion. Card friction kills margin and cash-flow. Blocknetica removes both.

Inside the whitepaper, you’ll see:

52% drop-off with selfie / liveness AV 5% drop-off with Telco-First AV 60–75% lower processing fees vs cards Same-day settlement instead of T+2/T+3

The result? A potential 10–15% uplift in completed orders and up to thousands per month recovered from card-fee drag.

What you’ll learn

  • How Open Banking payments at 0.8% plus same-day settlement turn recovered checkouts into immediate, spendable cash.
