What is Payment Recovery Potential?

In any subscription-based business, **failed payments** are an unavoidable reality. Whether it's due to expired cards, insufficient funds, or bank errors, these failures lead to **involuntary churn** – customers who churn not because they want to, but because their payment didn't go through.

**Payment Recovery Potential** refers to the amount of lost revenue that a business can realistically reclaim by implementing effective strategies to retry failed transactions and communicate with customers about their payment issues. It's the difference between revenue that's temporarily lost and revenue that's lost permanently. Many SaaS businesses are leaving significant money on the table by not optimizing their payment recovery processes.
