How does DunningDog detect failed payments?

DunningDog connects to your Stripe account via OAuth and listens for invoice.payment_failed webhook events. Every failed charge is detected in real-time.

What's the typical recovery rate?

Most DunningDog customers recover 50-70% of failed payments. This is 2-3x higher than Stripe's built-in retries alone, because DunningDog adds customer communication.

Does DunningDog work with Stripe Smart Retries?

Yes — they're complementary. Keep Stripe Smart Retries enabled for automatic payment retries, and DunningDog adds the email communication layer on top.

How quickly can I start recovering payments?

Setup takes under 5 minutes. Connect your Stripe account, activate a sequence, and DunningDog starts monitoring immediately.

Failed payments silently drain your revenue

Every month, 5-10% of subscription payments fail. Without automated recovery, most of that revenue is lost forever.

The average SaaS loses $2,500-$5,000/mo per $50k MRR to failed payments
Stripe's built-in retries only recover 15-25% of failures
Customers often don't know their payment failed until their subscription lapses
Manual follow-up takes hours per week and still misses most cases
Every day without recovery is revenue permanently lost

Automated recovery that runs 24/7

DunningDog monitors your Stripe account for failed payments and instantly activates a proven recovery sequence.

Instant detection

DunningDog catches every failed payment the moment it happens via Stripe webhooks — no delays, no missed charges.

Smart email sequences

Automated, branded recovery emails with direct payment update links. Customizable timing, tone, and escalation.

Decline intelligence

Soft vs. hard decline classification helps you understand which failures are recoverable and adapt your strategy.

Recovery dashboard

Track every recovery attempt, see your recovery rate, and measure exact ROI in a real-time dashboard.

How it works

Connect Stripe

One-click OAuth connects your Stripe account. No code changes, no webhooks to configure.

Payment fails

DunningDog detects the failure instantly and classifies it as a soft or hard decline.

Recovery sequence starts

Branded email sequence with payment update link is sent automatically on your configured schedule.

Revenue recovered

Customer updates their payment method, the invoice succeeds, and you see it in your dashboard.

The math is simple

A SaaS with $50k MRR typically loses $2,500-5,000/mo to failed payments. DunningDog recovers 50-70% of that — $1,250-3,500/mo back in your pocket for just $49/mo.

That's up to 35x return on investment.
