Chain Strategy Skips
#####################

:code:`Chain strategy skips` allows to skip a gate per PAN for a transaction if one of selected errors codes occur. After transaction is declined for a specific PAN on one gate, this gate will be skipped from cascading on next transactions with the same PAN for the specified time period (set in minutes).
