For merchants on a recurring payment model such as those with subscriptions or invoicing, losing a customer due to one failed payment may mean a lifetime of lost revenue. Combined with the fact that businesses spend on average 11-15% of the value of a failed payment trying to recover it and that they see that the same proportion of failed payments turn into bad debt [1], it's clear that merchants need to fight the failures -- fast.

Key Points: 
  • Fifteen percent say they think less of a company after experiencing a failed payment.
  • Since its initial launch in the UK in 2020, Success+ has helped GoCardless merchants recover 70% of failed payments on average, with over $50 million recouped to date.
  • Duncan Barrigan, Chief Product Officer and Chief Growth Officer at GoCardless, said: "Businesses have long struggled to resolve the issue of failed payments, often relying on time-consuming manual efforts or simply writing down debt.
  • And, if you do need to deal with failed payments, harnessing the latest technology to optimize your payment retries will save you valuable time, money and energy."
