Strengthen Merchant HealthWhen Recovery Is Smart, Revenue Becomes Reliable
See Where Revenue Leaks. And Where We Fix It.
Most silent churn isn’t intentional — it’s caused by failed payments. Sticky.io plugs the leaks across retries, routing, fraud, and renewal intelligence so revenue stops disappearing.
Subscribers often churn without realizing their payment failed. Most systems don’t alert merchants until it’s too late.
Even top gateways fluctuate. Without routing, approval rates drop and renewals fail unnecessarily.
Customers rarely read renewal emails, and even when they do, emails can’t solve issuer logic, fraud flags, or gateway outages. Modern failed payment recovery has to operate at the payment level, not the inbox.
Smart retries and rerouting recover payments silently in the background — keeping subscribers active without messaging them.
Routing and retry intelligence improves approval rates instantly, capturing revenue traditional systems never reach.
Safe retry pacing and fraud checks stabilize MID health, preventing costly processor interventions.

Recovery Only Works When It Understands the Problem
Why Traditional Dunning Fails — and Modern Recovery Doesn’t
Most systems still rely on reminder emails and scheduled retries, a process built for a much simpler payments landscape. Sticky.io uses real payment intelligence to understand why a transaction failed and applies routing, timing, and fraud logic to recover revenue traditional dunning can’t reach.
Traditional dunning retries payments at fixed intervals, ignoring decline codes, issuer rules, and customer behavior — resulting in preventable failures.
- No issuer-aware timing
- No decline-code intelligence
- Low recovery rates
Most systems send every payment through one gateway. If it fails, revenue stops. Intelligent routing instantly finds the best-performing path to approval.
- No multi-gateway routing
- No cascade logic
- Higher initial declines
Legacy dunning overlooks fraud patterns, issuer blocks, and merchant-health risk — creating chargebacks and unstable processing. Modern recovery protects your MIDs with real-time intelligence.
- No fraud-aware renewal logic
- No MID protection controls
- High involuntary churn

FAQ
What makes Sticky.io Recovery better than other revenue recovery solutions?
"Traditional dunning relies on fixed schedules and guesswork. Sticky.io Recovery uses AI-powered retry logic, intelligent payment routing, and real-time decline intelligence to maximize approval rates for every failed payment.
Instead of retrying transactions at predetermined intervals, Recovery analyzes issuer behavior, decline codes, gateway performance, and historical patterns to determine the exact moment and path most likely to succeed.
It also integrates easily through API and works with any ecommerce platform, payment stack, or subscription system, making it a modern recovery engine — not just a dunning tool. In short, Sticky.io Recovery is modern failed payment recovery software designed to reduce involuntary churn at scale."
Can I use this alongside my current decline recovery or dunning strategy?
You can, but it’s not ideal. Running traditional dunning alongside Sticky.io often leads to redundant retries, unnecessary processor fees, and lower approval rates, because legacy systems don’t use issuer intelligence or adaptive timing.
Sticky.io Recovery performs best when it manages all failed payment recovery across your subscription base. With AI-driven retry timing and multi-gateway routing, merchants typically see far higher recovery rates on the first or second attempt alone.
How does Sticky.io keep my customers’ payment data secure?
Sticky.io maintains PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, the highest standard for payment security. Every transaction, retry, and recovery event is processed through secure, compliant infrastructure designed to protect sensitive customer data from start to finish.
How do I make sure retry strategies don’t harm customer experience or my brand reputation?
Sticky.io’s AI is built to be customer-sensitive and brand-safe. It evaluates decline reasons, issuer preferences, and customer behavior to choose retry windows that maximize approvals without creating customer friction.
You also control how many attempts are made and how recovery aligns with your customer communication strategy — ensuring your retry logic feels seamless, not aggressive.
Is it difficult to get started with Sticky.io Recovery?
Not at all. Recovery integrates through a streamlined API and typically takes two to three days to go live. Once enabled, it becomes a fully automated, zero-maintenance solution, recovering failed payments in the background while your team focuses on growth.
What impact does Sticky.io Recovery have on customer lifetime value (CLTV)?
Recovering failed payments has a direct, compounding effect on CLTV. Sticky.io helps subscription brands reduce involuntary churn, rescue renewals, and improve first-attempt approvals, which leads to more billing cycles per customer.
Brands using Recovery commonly retain customers 3.5× longer and stabilize recurring revenue, creating predictable long-term value.
How much time will my team need to manage Recovery?
Virtually none. Sticky.io Recovery is hands-off. After a quick setup, the system autonomously determines the best retry timing, routing, and recovery path for each transaction — with no manual workflows required.
Your team gets full visibility, but Recovery does the work.
