B2B subscriptions

Payment recovery for B2B + enterprise SaaS

B2B cards trip fraud holds at higher rates because amounts are larger. Enterprise customers expect human-tone dunning, not generic 'your card failed' emails.

Why it matters

Each B2B account is high-value. Losing one to involuntary churn is 50-200x worse than losing a B2C user. The right dunning system protects relationships while collecting reliably.

Recovery playbook

  1. Day 0: formal-tone notice mentioning specific decline reason

  2. Day 1: retry + offer alternatives (ACH, wire, invoicing)

  3. Day 3: human follow-up from CSM (Rechurn flags for handoff)

  4. Day 7+: never auto-cancel without CS approval for amounts above your threshold

Failure mix

B2B: high generic_decline + do_not_honor (fraud holds on amount), expired ~20%, plus authentication_required spikes for EU customers.

Save offers that work

Save offers less impactful — B2B churn is about value perception, not price. Use Rechurn for the automation; reserve human touch for the conversation.
