How It Works

A data-driven process for recovering failed payments, typically live within a single sprint.

Retain Capital plugs into your billing pipeline at the point of final failure. From there, we handle submission, analysis, optimization, resubmission, and reporting. You see the results in your dashboard and in your bottom line.

The Process

Four Steps to Recovered Revenue

Recover failed transactions and increase revenue with minimal engineering lift. Most merchants integrate in a single sprint.

1

Connect

Submit failed payment files via our secure REST API using a pre-approved template. Setup is fast with minimal engineering lift. Most merchants are live within a single sprint.

2

Process

Machine learning runs each failed payment through our proprietary logic tree and scores retry timing and likelihood of recovery against BIN-level issuer behavior.

3

Recover

Failed transactions are optimized for resubmission at the ideal moment to secure authorization and successfully debit the account holder without spamming issuers or your customers' cards.

4

Prevent Churn

Recovered funds are deposited directly into your existing merchant account. Subscribers keep their service. Every outcome (recovered, retried, or written off) shows up in your reporting dashboard.

Getting Started

A trial before a commitment.

We bring a proven and data-driven process to reducing subscriber churn. We'd rather show you results than ask you to take our word for it.

Trial

Run a subset of your declined transactions through Retain Capital to see recovery performance before signing on for the long term.

Measured Results

Merchants typically see 30–50% of previously failed transactions recovered once the model is tuned to their portfolio.

Dashboards

Every recovered (and unrecovered) transaction is visible in your reporting dashboard. Results are never a black box.

Why It Matters

Payment failure is one of the biggest drivers of subscription churn.

Up to 50% of involuntary failed payments can be recovered. That turns a silent source of churn into a measurable line of revenue often worth ~5% of top-line ARR.

  • No changes to your checkout or billing flow required.
  • Works alongside your existing payment processor: no migration.
  • Transparent reporting on every transaction submitted, retried, and recovered.
