Dunning

The automated process of retrying failed payments and notifying customers when a card fails, before treating the account as churned.

Why it matters

Effective dunning recovers a meaningful share of what would otherwise be counted as involuntary churn, directly protecting revenue with no product changes.

Example

A billing system retries a failed charge three times over ten days and emails the customer each time, recovering 60% of failed payments.
