The Problem

Involuntary churn (failed payments) accounts for 20–40% of all SaaS churn. Stripe's default retry logic recovers only 50% of failed charges. Expired credit cards cause 30% of failed payments. Generic dunning emails recover only 5–10%. The average SaaS loses $500K+/year to preventable payment failures.

The Solution

Intelligent dunning management that retries failed payments at optimal times, sends personalized recovery emails, automatically updates expired cards via network tokenization, and provides detailed analytics on payment recovery performance.
