- AI AgentWhat exact message did it show you? That’ll help me.
- CustomerNo, just that I should reach out to my bank or use a different card, so…

THE PROBLEM
A Failed Payment Shouldn't Mean a Lost Customer
Expired cards, insufficient funds, or a simple billing issue can interrupt a purchase or subscription renewal. Most brands rely on automated reminders that are easy to ignore. Outcraft starts a conversation instead.
What Outcraft isn't
What Outcraft does
Recover more payments. Reduce involuntary churn. Protect recurring revenue.
THE SOLUTION
Outcraft Turns Transaction Problems Into Recovered Revenue
Reaches Customers When Payments Fail
Outcraft automatically triggers personalized outreach after an unsuccessful payment, while the transaction is still relevant.
Understands What's Stopping the Payment
Outcraft helps customers identify common payment issues, from expired cards to declined transactions, and guides them toward the next step.
Makes It Easy to Complete the Payment
Instead of sending another generic reminder, Outcraft sends customers secured payment links, explain how to update their billing details, or suggest an approved alternative.
Tracks Recovered Revenue
With Outcraft, Ecommerce brands can see which customers were contacted, how they responded, and which conversations resulted in successful failed payment recovery.
THE COST
What Are Failed Payments Costing You?
Every failed subscription payment puts more than one order at risk. If that customer doesn't return, you could lose months of future revenue too.
Here's what that could look like for your store.
in revenue at risk this month, across your store
in future revenue, for just one subscriber you keep
The $16,500 is this month's exposure alone. Every subscriber who doesn't come back adds another $330+ on top of it.
The real cost of failed payments isn't just today's missed transaction. It's the recurring revenue that disappears with the customer.

HOW IT WORKS
How Outcraft Tackles Transaction Issues?
-
01
A Payment Fails
A customer's one-time purchase or recurring subscription payment is declined, triggering an automated recovery workflow.
-
02
Outcraft Reaches Out
Outcraft calls the customer in your brand's name. No answer? It follows up by SMS, WhatsApp or email.
-
03
Outcraft Fixes the Problem
A secure link for a new card. A new charge date for a low balance. A pause or skip for a subscriber who wants fewer deliveries.
-
04
The Payment Goes Through
Your payment system processes the charge and Outcraft logs the outcome. Outcraft stops when the customer pays, opts out, or hits your frequency cap.
THE LANDSCAPE
Where Outcraft Fits Next To Retries And Dunning Emails
Automatic retries fix declines that clear on their own. Card updaters fix reissued cards the bank already knows about. Dunning emails reach the customers who open them. Outcraft talks to the rest.
e.g. Stripe Smart Retries
Works after the rest
Fewer failed transactions. More recovered subscriptions. Less revenue slipping away.
BY DECLINE TYPE
What Outcraft Does For Each Decline Type
Hard decline
Insufficient funds, soft decline
“Do not honor”
Hard decline

What Do Our Customers Say?
Taima Titanium generated $84k in upsells with Outcraft AI’s help up until now from their Shopify campaigns.
How does Outcraft recover failed payments?
Outcraft tells the customer the payment didn't go through and helps fix what can be fixed. For a bank block, it asks them to approve the charge with their bank.
Can Outcraft help recover failed subscription payments?
Yes, with the appropriate integration. Outcraft can support recovery workflows for recurring payments, helping customers resolve billing issues before they lead to involuntary subscription cancellations.

Can we customize when customers are contacted?
Recovery workflows can be configured around payment failure events, customer segments, approved messaging, and outreach conditions, subject to your integration setup.
How do we measure recovered revenue?
Track outreach activity, customer engagement, payment recovery outcomes, and attributed revenue using the data available from your connected systems.
