The problem it solves

You find out about failed payments too late, after the customer has already churned or your revenue has quietly slipped. Checking your billing dashboard manually every day is not something you have time for.

Who it fits

Subscription businesses using Chargebee who need to react quickly to failed payments.

How it works

  1. A payment fails in Chargebee
  2. The system automatically triggers on that event
  3. It sends you an email with the payment details
What you get

Failed payments you hear about the moment they happen

You get an email the instant a customer's payment fails, so you can reach out and fix it before it becomes a bigger problem.

What you get

An email notification with the details of the failed payment.

What you need

A Chargebee account and an email sending service such as Mailgun.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
