## The problem

### Your payment stack is costing you subscribers.

Payment failures kill retention

Failed payments are one of the largest drivers of involuntary churn. When a retry fails, most systems treat it as a dead end — and you lose a subscriber who never meant to leave.

Global expansion stalls at checkout

In EMEA, renewal failures are significantly higher due to alternative payment methods that carry greater renewal risk. In LATAM, lack of local acquiring tanks conversion before a subscriber even starts.

Stale card credentials block recovery

Cards expire, get replaced, or get reissued after fraud — and most payment stacks never know. That means your retry logic is firing on outdated credentials, inflating decline rates unnecessarily.

Fraud complexity is rising

Fraud-related declines for alternative payment methods more than doubled — from 1.4% to 3.0%. Without layered fraud protection built into the flow, every new market you enter introduces new risk.

## The solution

### Billing and payments — finally working together.

Recurly and Worldpay are purpose-built for subscription businesses. Together, they create a two-layer system that reduces friction, recovers more revenue, and retains more subscribers than either platform can achieve alone.

Go global without checkout friction

Worldpay's acquiring footprint spans 146 countries with local payment methods, domestic card brands, and regional currencies. Recurly layers in multi-currency billing and localized pricing — so you meet each market on its own terms.

Revenue recovery

Recover revenue others leave behind

Worldpay's Automatic Account Updater refreshes card credentials before a retry ever occurs. Recurly then applies intelligent retry logic based on timing, subscriber behavior, and risk signals — a two-step process neither system achieves alone.

Retention

Turn failed payments into saved subscribers

Failed payments are the leading driver of involuntary churn. Recurly's dunning campaigns adapt to subscriber cohorts, billing cycles, and risk profiles. Worldpay strengthens each attempt by improving authorization success upstream.

Flexibility

Evolve pricing without re-architecting

Recurly manages complex billing logic — trials, upgrades, usage-based billing, and promotions. Worldpay handles payment processing across markets. Teams can adapt pricing and packaging without rebuilding infrastructure or adding engineering overhead.
