stop the leak
Recover failed payments automatically.
If you sell anything on a subscription or send invoices, some payments fail. Cards expire, funds bounce, invoices get forgotten. For a solo business that money just quietly evaporates, because chasing it by hand is nobody's favorite job. So you automate the chase.
The two leaks this plugs
- Failed charges: a subscription payment fails and, if nothing recovers it, that customer silently churns.
- Overdue invoices: an invoice sits unpaid because no one followed up.
The flow
- Trigger: a daily schedule in n8n checks Stripe for failed charges and open, overdue invoices.
- Prioritize: it builds one list, biggest amounts first, so you see exactly what is at risk.
- Recover: optionally, it has Stripe re-send the invoice or a polite payment reminder automatically.
- Report: you get one email: total outstanding, and what got chased.
Why it pays for itself instantly: one recovered subscription or invoice usually dwarfs the cost of running the automation. This is money you already earned, just slipping through the cracks.
