Frequently asked questions

What is involuntary churn?+

Revenue lost when a recurring payment fails — usually an expired or declined card — rather than a deliberate cancellation. Smart retries, card-updater services and reminder emails recover much of it.

How much failed-payment revenue can be recovered?+

Basic retries recover around a third of failed charges; well-timed smart dunning with reminders and card updates commonly recovers 60–70%, turning lost revenue back into MRR.
