Stripe Payment Recovery Process

How to Recover Failed Stripe Payments in 4 Steps

Connect your Stripe account, and RetryPayments handles failed payment detection and dunning emails automatically.

We Detect Failures

The moment a payment fails, we catch it instantly via Stripe webhooks and create a recovery case with full context — failure reason, amount, and customer details.

Zero delays

We Recover Revenue

Smart email sequences reach out to your customers at precisely the right time — immediately, after 3 days, and after 7 days — prompting them to update their payment method.

Why Automated Stripe Dunning Outperforms Manual Follow-Up

When a Stripe subscription payment fails, speed matters. Research shows that dunning emails sent within the first hour of a failure have the highest recovery rate. Waiting days — or manually checking Stripe billing reports — means customers have already moved on or forgotten about the failed charge entirely.

RetryPayments processes Stripe webhook events in real time. The moment a payment failure is reported, a recovery case is created and the first dunning email is queued automatically. A follow-up at day 3 catches customers who missed the initial notice, and a final reminder at day 7 creates urgency before the subscription cancels.

Hands-Off Failed Stripe Payment Recovery

The entire dunning flow is hands-off. RetryPayments monitors Stripe for successful charges against the same invoice and automatically closes the recovery case when payment is received. Your team gets a clean analytics dashboard showing revenue recovered, recovery rates, and active cases — without writing a single line of code or manually chasing down failed Stripe payments.

Security is built into every step. Stripe OAuth means we never store your API keys. Webhook signature verification ensures every event is authentic. AES-256-GCM encryption protects all stored tokens. Monitor-only access means we never modify your charges, subscriptions, or customer data. See all Stripe dunning automation features or view payment recovery pricing plans.
