What changes for your business

TodayWith it
A declined card shows up weeks later, as churn.You see each failed payment the day it happens.
Retries run in the background; you never see what came back.A running count of MRR recovered and MRR still at risk.
Customers get a generic reminder, or nothing.Short emails in your voice, each with a one-click card-update link.
A lost or expired card quietly ends the subscription.Hard declines skip useless retries and go straight to the email.

What failed payments put at risk

Put in your own numbers. This counts what fails, not what it would recover.

$400 of MRR fails each month, $4,800 a year.

The starting values are an example. Change them to yours.

One failed payment, fourteen days

What it would do with a single declined charge. Illustration, not a result

  1. d+0

    Declined

    A soft decline, insufficient_funds: the bank said no today, so it can be retried.

  2. d+1

    Retry 1

    Timed by the decline reason, not by a fixed clock.

  3. d+3

    Email 1

    Short, plain, from you: one link to update the card.

  4. d+5

    Retry 2, email 2

    A second try and a shorter second email.

  5. d+7

    Recovered

    The customer updated the card and the charge went through.

  6. d+14

    Window closes

    Stripe's recommended default is 8 tries in 2 weeks. After that, the subscription follows your Stripe setting.

How it connects to Stripe

  1. Connect in one click

    You approve access through Stripe's own connect screen. No code, no keys to paste.

  2. It listens for failures

    Stripe tells it about each failed invoice and its decline code the moment it happens.

  3. It retries and writes

    Retries go through Stripe. Emails go from your own address, with your name on them.

  4. Cards stay with Stripe

    The update link opens Stripe's hosted page. Card numbers never touch this service.

One plan, and the questions behind it

Solo, planned

$19a month

  • Up to 500 subscribers
  • Retries timed by decline reason
  • Three short emails with a card-update link
  • A count of what was recovered and what is still at risk
  • No share of what it recovers
Reserve for $19

Refundable in full until launch. If it launches and does not work for you, you pay nothing.

Is it built?

No. This page tests whether it should be. If enough people reserve or write, I build it. If not, I refund you and say so.

What do I pay today?

$19, once, to hold a place. Nothing recurs. It is refundable in full until launch.

Why not just use Stripe's retries?

You might. Stripe already retries and sends reminders. This is for you if you want a flat price, a count of what was recovered and what is still at risk, and emails you control. If Stripe's own is enough, reply and say so. That answers my question too.

How do I get a refund?

Cancel any time before launch and get a full refund within 5 days: email matheuspavaneli@proton.me. If it launches and does not work for you, you pay nothing.
