Failed Payment Rescuer — Recover Failed Stripe Payments via SMS

Stripe Dashboard App

Recover failed payments<br>before customers churn

When a Stripe invoice payment fails, Failed Payment Rescuer fires an SMS recovery alert — waiting 24 hours first to let customers self-resolve, so you only pay when we actually help. No code. No new tools. Lives inside your Stripe Dashboard.

How it works

Three steps from install to recovery

Everything runs automatically inside Stripe. There is nothing to configure beyond a one-time install.

Install from Stripe Marketplace

Click Install, authorise access, and the app appears in your Stripe Dashboard immediately. No code, no external accounts, no webhooks to configure manually.

Payment fails on an invoice

Stripe fires an event. Failed Payment Rescuer catches it, identifies the customer's phone number, and prepares a personalised recovery message.

Customer receives an SMS

We hold the alert for 24 hours so customers who would have paid on their own are never contacted — and you are never charged for that recovery. If the invoice is still unpaid after 24 hours, the SMS goes out with the customer's name, the amount, and a direct link to pay.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built specifically for Stripe merchants who bill via invoices and want recovery without complexity.

Autopilot mode

Enable once and every failed invoice triggers an SMS automatically. Filter by minimum amount to focus on invoices that matter.

Three SMS templates

Choose from Friendly Reminder, Direct & Professional, or Urgent Action Required. Add your business name to every message.

Recovery analytics

See total revenue recovered, recovery rate, active rescues, and recent recoveries — all inside your Stripe Dashboard home screen.

Manual dispatch

Open any invoice or customer page in Stripe and send a recovery SMS with one click. Edit the message before sending if needed.

Per-customer history

Open any customer in Stripe and see every failed invoice, their status, and whether they've been recovered — all in one panel.

No extra infrastructure

SMS delivery is included in the subscription. No additional accounts, no extra billing, no new credentials to manage.

Smart spam prevention

Autopilot waits 24 hours before sending — if your customer pays first, no SMS is sent and no fee is charged. A 7-day cooldown prevents the same customer from receiving multiple alerts, and every SMS includes a STOP opt-out.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing

One plan. All features. Cancel anytime from the Settings page inside Stripe.
