How Smart Retries Work
Slicker integrates with your billing system and payment gateway, then runs every failed payment through its AI decision engine to determine the optimal time, payment method, and gateway for each retry. Recoveries flow through your existing billing infrastructure, indistinguishable from regular payments. Nothing changes for your finance team.
Example of a Failed Payment
| Failed Payment | Status |
|---|---|
| $49.99 - Visa ••4242 | do_not_honor |
| Timing | Method | Gateway | Payment Recovered |
|---|---|---|---|
| $49.99 - Visa ••4242 approved |
Every outcome improves the next retry.
Ensemble Intelligence
One Model Can't Know Everything
Generic retry engines apply one model to every transaction. Slicker deploys an ensemble of hyper-specialized ML models—each one an expert in its domain—then orchestrates them to produce a single, optimized decision for every failed payment.
- Business type: SaaS, streaming, e-commerce—each has unique failure signatures.
- Geography: Regional banking patterns, currencies, and pay cycles.
- Issuer & network: Visa UK behaves differently than Mastercard US.
- Your customers: A model trained specifically on your subscriber base.
Domain Knowledge
AI Alone Isn't Enough. Context Is.
On top of our ensemble of models, Slicker layers deep industry heuristics. The kind of domain knowledge that turns a good model into an exceptional one. Because knowing when to retry is as important as knowing whether to.
Network Recommendations
We incorporate network signals like Mastercard's Merchant Advice Codes to determine when to retry, when to stop, and when to request a new payment method.
Regional Pay Cycles
Retries aligned to when money actually lands. Bi-weekly in the US, monthly in Europe, variable across APAC.
Bank & Public Holidays
Retrying on a national holiday means lower approval rates. We factor in bank holidays and processing schedules across every region.
Payment Patterns
Beginning-of-month surges, end-of-quarter corporate renewals, seasonal spending shifts. All factored in.
Card Updater Flows
When networks push updated card details, we detect and time retries to coincide with fresh credentials.
Billing System Specifics
Each platform handles retries differently. We work within your billing system's constraints, not against them.
Intelligent at Every Layer
Slicker's intelligence goes beyond choosing a day and triggering a retry. We optimize every aspect of the recurring payment recovery process.
Retry Timing
Every retry is timed to maximize approval odds. Our models factor in pay cycles, time of day, day of week, and issuer-specific patterns to find the window where success is most likely.
Payment Gateway Selection
Not all gateways perform equally for a given issuer. Slicker routes each retry through the processor with the highest historical success rate for that specific card and region.
Payment Method Selection
When a card on file is outdated or blocked, Slicker checks for updated credentials via network token services and card updaters before retrying with the best available method.
Recovery Strategy
Each failed payment gets a tailored recovery plan: retry cadence, fallback sequences, escalation to dunning, and when to stop. No rigid schedules, just adaptive decision-making.
Geographic Optimization
Recurring payments work differently across regions. India treats card payments as asynchronous, SEPA has unique mandate flows, and issuer behavior varies by country. Slicker adapts to each.
Continuous Learning
Every retry outcome feeds back into our models. Slicker gets smarter with each transaction, adapting to shifts in issuer behavior, seasonal patterns, and your subscriber base.

Dunning Emails
- Hyper-Personalized Messaging
No unnecessary emails - we only reach out when customer action is the only path to recovery. Each message is tailored to the failure reason, sequence stage, and required action.
Evaluation
- Unrivaled Transparency
Every vendor claims impressive recovery rates - but we actually prove it. We run rigorous AABB testing, the same crossover methodology used in clinical drug trials, to guarantee statistically significant results.
