Stop Losing Revenue You’ve Already Earned
Involuntary customer churn quietly erodes growth long before it shows up in your reports. Sticky.io helps you prevent involuntary churn, recover failed payments, and keep more subscribers active month after month.



Reduce Churn
Churn Is a System Problem
You can’t reduce churn with emails alone. Real retention requires adaptive billing, smarter retries, and payment orchestration that responds in real time.
Recover Failed Payments Automatically
Most subscription churn happens when payments fail — not when customers choose to leave. Sticky.io uses intelligent retries, issuer-aware timing, and adaptive logic to recover failed payments before subscribers ever drop.
Retry Payments the Smart Way
Not every retry should happen the same way. Sticky.io uses issuer-aware timing, decline intelligence, and adaptive logic to retry payments when they’re most likely to succeed — preventing churn before it starts.
Manage the Entire Subscriber Lifecycle
Churn isn’t a single moment. Sticky.io gives you control over every stage of the subscriber lifecycle — from signup to renewal to recovery — so fewer customers fall through the cracks.
One Unified Command Center for Retention Analytics
Eliminate data silos. By unifying subscription, payment, and recovery metrics into a single analytical engine, Sticky.io provides a high-fidelity view of your health. Monitor real-time efficiency and identify high-risk churn patterns before they impact your bottom line.

A renewal payment fails due to issuer decline, expired card, or temporary bank issue — a common starting point for involuntary churn.

Sticky.io evaluates decline reason, issuer behavior, and timing to determine the best moment to retry — improving success without customer disruption.

If needed, Sticky.io automatically routes the transaction through the best-performing gateway to maximize approval rates.

The payment is approved and the subscription remains active — without the customer ever noticing an issue.

With the renewal complete, the subscriber continues uninterrupted — preserving lifetime value and reducing churn over time.

Sticky.io captures renewal and recovery insights across the lifecycle, helping teams continuously reduce churn at scale.

Churn Reduction, Explained
What is churn, and why does it matter for subscription businesses?
Churn is the loss of subscribers or recurring revenue over time. For subscription businesses, even small increases in churn compound quickly, reducing lifetime value, weakening revenue predictability, and increasing pressure on acquisition spend. Reducing churn is one of the most effective ways to grow revenue without increasing marketing costs.
What causes involuntary churn?
Involuntary churn happens when customers are lost due to failed payments rather than intentional cancellations. Common causes include expired cards, temporary issuer declines, insufficient funds, and rigid retry logic. These failures often happen silently and can account for a significant portion of overall churn if left unaddressed.
How does Sticky.io reduce churn caused by failed payments?
Sticky.io reduces involuntary churn by intelligently retrying and rerouting failed transactions. The platform uses issuer-aware timing, decline-code intelligence, and adaptive routing to recover payments before subscriptions are canceled, recovering up to 650% more failed payments than traditional approaches.
How is this different from traditional dunning or retry tools?
Traditional dunning relies on static retry schedules and customer emails, which don’t address why payments fail. Sticky.io focuses on fixing the payment system itself by optimizing approval rates, routing transactions dynamically, and retrying payments at the right moment — often without customer intervention.
Can Sticky.io help reduce churn beyond failed payments?
Yes. Sticky.io helps reduce voluntary and passive churn by giving businesses control over the full subscription lifecycle. This includes flexible billing logic, lifecycle offers, subscription management, and real-time visibility into churn drivers, all managed from a single system.
How does improving payment approvals reduce churn?
Higher approval rates mean fewer failed renewals and fewer unnecessary cancellations. Sticky.io improves approvals by intelligently routing transactions, adapting to issuer behavior, and optimizing retry timing, resulting in up to 40% higher initial payment approvals and less silent churn.
Is Sticky.io built to support churn reduction at scale?
Yes. Sticky.io processes over $10B annually and supports more than 72 million subscriptions. The platform is designed to reduce churn across high-volume subscription businesses without adding operational complexity or manual effort.
Build a System That Keeps Revenue Flowing
Churn doesn’t fix itself. Add intelligent retries, adaptive routing, and full lifecycle visibility to protect renewals and keep more customers active — month after month.
