{ "type": "invoice.payment_failed",
"data": { "decline_code": "insufficient_funds" } }RetainFlow maps 100+ Stripe decline codes to recovery strategies. insufficient_funds gets a different playbook than do_not_honor or card_expired.
Our model analyses the customer's payment history, time zone, day of week, and card network signals to pick the optimal retry window — not a fixed schedule.
If retries don't resolve the failure, a personalised email sequence kicks in — tailored to the decline reason, the customer's plan, and their history with you.

Your card ending in ****4242 was declined — here's how to fix it in 30 seconds.
When payment succeeds, RetainFlow updates the recovery log, notifies your Slack channel if connected, and never touches another customer who doesn't need it.
