What is FlyCode?
FlyCode is an AI-powered failed payment recovery platform designed for subscription businesses in SaaS and eCommerce. It maximizes subscription revenue and reduces involuntary churn through smart retries and AI-based payment optimization, working behind the scenes to turn failed transactions into recovered revenue. The platform automatically recovers failed subscription payments by analyzing hundreds of datapoints including customer metadata, payment metadata, error codes, and issuer responses to determine the optimal retry timing and routing.
Key features include AI-powered smart retries that learn from every transaction, backup payment method automation that seamlessly retries with alternate cards on file, intelligent routing across payment providers using decisioning models, automated email outreach coordinated with retry timing, subscription anomaly detection to catch revenue leakage, and custom dunning flows tailored per customer. FlyCode integrates deeply with Stripe and Shopify through verified marketplace apps, requiring no engineering time to set up, and also works via API keys with other subscription management platforms.
FlyCode is for CFOs, finance teams, retention leaders, and billing leaders at high-growth subscription companies who want to recover lost revenue without manual workflows. The platform is trusted by iconic brands and is the preferred failed payments tool of Stripe partners, with direct partnerships from Visa and Shopify giving it network insights and payment metadata that boost recovery rates while maintaining card network compliance.
The platform delivers measurable ROI with live case studies showing 16-25% lift in recovery rates and 5-9% ARR boosts. Most customers go live in hours, and FlyCode recovers on average 20% more failed payments than Stripe's built-in smart retries.

Frequently asked questions about FlyCode
How is FlyCode different from traditional payment-recovery tools?
FlyCode is AI-native from day one. Its models learn from every transaction and issuer response, continuously refining retry timing, routing, and messaging. This goes far beyond the static, rule-based schedules used by legacy solutions and PSPs. FlyCode analyzes failure reasons, adapts retry strategies dynamically rather than using fixed schedules, and leverages alternative payment methods to recover revenue.
What pricing model does FlyCode use?
FlyCode charges only on dollars it actually recovers. There are no seats or minimums, and our incentives are perfectly aligned with your business. You pay only on revenue recovered above your current baseline, ensuring clear positive ROI of 15-20X. There is no yearly contract and you can cancel anytime.
Why do Visa and Stripe partnerships matter?
Direct partnership with Visa and Stripe gives FlyCode network insights and payment metadata, boosting recovery rates while preserving compliance-grade safeguards. FlyCode is the preferred failed payments tool of Stripe partners with the deepest integration in the industry. The Visa partnership ensures card network compliance with features like Card AccountUpdater and Network Tokens.
How fast can we launch FlyCode?
Most customers go live in hours with a Stripe or Shopify app or API keys. No engineering time is required - just install the verified FlyCode App from the Stripe Marketplace, set your recovery preferences, and you're live. It only takes 3 minutes to connect the GitHub app and configure the system for your team to start editing.
What ROI should we expect?
Live case studies with leading SaaS and eCommerce brands show a 16-25% lift in recovery rate with ARR boost of 5-9%. Stripe merchants typically see 5-9% boost in ARR. The pricing is outcome-based delivering typically 20X positive ROI for Stripe users. Increasing recovery rate from 45% to 55% can increase ARR by 6-10%.
How does FlyCode decide when to retry a payment?
FlyCode uses machine learning to find the best moment to retry a failed payment. The decisioning models take into account 100s of datapoints including customer and payment metadata as well as internal classifiers of error codes and messages. The AI reads Billing webhooks, predicts the best retry window, and routes each attempt through the highest-approval path.
Does FlyCode do more than simple retries?
Yes. FlyCode prevents churn by automatically charging alternate cards on file, sending coordinated communication, finding revenue anomalies, orchestrating smart dunning flows, and surfacing granular analytics your team can act on. It includes backup payment method automation, subscription anomaly detection, custom email campaigns with tailored dunning per customer, and Card AccountUpdater support.
How do I fix failed payments if I'm using Stripe?
Simply enable FlyCode's Stripe app from the Stripe Marketplace. Our AI reads your Billing webhooks, predicts the best retry window, and routes each attempt through the highest-approval path - often recovering the charge before the customer even notices. The app hooks into Stripe Billing, passes events to FlyCode's AI engine, and triggers retries directly in Stripe.
How can I solve involuntary churn?
Involuntary churn is mostly payment-related. FlyCode attacks it on three fronts: (1) AI-optimized retries that find the best timing, (2) alternate-card-on-file routing for backup payment methods, and (3) predictive dunning that reaches customers before the subscription lapses. The platform also coordinates emails with retries and sends at the customer's local time for maximum effectiveness.
Do you provide email templates for failed-payment outreach?
Yes. At FlyCode, payment recovery doesn't stop with retries. Our advanced email communication models coordinate perfectly with payment retries to recover revenue and reduce involuntary churn. We send emails at the user's local time with transactional emails and with the best sender score and deliverability. Custom transactional templates are sent from high-sender-score domains for maximum deliverability.
