Payment Link Nudge Ladder
Escalating nudges with instant payment links
Failed payments die in the retry queue
A payment fails. The system retries silently. After 3 failed attempts, the subscription is cancelled. The customer never knew. A single phone call with a fresh payment link would have saved 70% of these — but nobody makes that call at scale.
