Case studies

Real outcomes from revenue engineering work

These examples show how intelligent Stripe recovery systems can turn payment failures into cash recovery, lower churn, and better retention visibility.

Recovered 28% of failed SaaS revenue in 30 days

A subscription business was losing recurring payments because declines were treated identically. We built a decline-code-aware retry flow and recovery messaging for Stripe + Klaviyo.

  • 28% recovery of failed payments
  • 30% fewer hard declines after retry optimization
  • $12,000 in recovered MRR in the first quarter

Cut involuntary churn by 21% with automated updates

A payments-heavy agency had expired-card churn. The solution combined Stripe customer portal links, proactive card update campaigns, and webhookbacked customer status tracking.

  • 21% reduction in involuntary churn
  • 42% more payment method updates before renewal
  • Stronger visibility across billing and CRM pipelines

Unified Stripe + GHL data for clear retention decisions

We created a reporting model that connects Stripe payments, customer pipeline stage, and acquisition source so teams can see which channels drive high-quality revenue.

  • MRR by pipeline stage in one dashboard
  • Improved retention follow-up for at-risk accounts
  • Faster action on payment failures with sales context
