What happens when a subscription payment fails?

FasterPay has a dunning management system that handles failed payments (e.g. insufficient funds or the payment is declined by the bank). When a subscription payment fails FasterPay will automatically attempt to retry the payment 3 times every 6 hours.

The customer is notified about the failed attempts so that they can rectify the issue. If the payment is successful, the subscription will continue to be active.

If the payment is unsuccessful after the final attempt then the subscription will be stopped and the customer will need to renew their subscription.
