Payment Processing Failures

Declined cards, failed retries, and involuntary churn from payment issues.

The Hidden Revenue Drain

Payment failures are one of the largest sources of involuntary churn. On average, 5-10% of subscription charges fail on the first attempt. Without proper recovery, this revenue is permanently lost.

What LeakShield Detects

  • High decline rates by card type or region
  • Suboptimal retry timing (e.g., retrying at the same time instead of spreading attempts)
  • Missing payment method update flows
  • Accounts stuck in "past due" without resolution

Recovery Strategies

Recommendations typically include:

  • Smart retry scheduling (retry on paydays, avoid weekends)
  • Pre-dunning emails before the charge date
  • Automatic card updater enrollment
  • Graceful downgrade instead of hard cancel on failure
