Email isn't the only way to recover a failed payment.
FlyCode sends recovery texts coordinated with your email and retry timing, so customers get a nudge on the channel they check most, at the moment it matters.

Why add SMS to recovery
Higher visibility
Reach the customers who never open recovery emails on the channel they actually use.
Fully coordinated
SMS, email, and retries work as one sequence, never overlapping or contradicting.
Right-moment timing
Messages land when the customer is most likely to act, not at 2 a.m. local time.
Frictionless fix
A direct link to a native update page turns a text into a recovered payment.

How it Works
Coordinate with every channel
SMS timing syncs with your emails and retries, so the customer gets one coherent sequence, not scattered pings.
Send at the right moment
Texts go out when they're most likely to be seen and acted on, not the instant a payment fails.
Make it one tap
Each message links straight to a fast update page, so fixing a payment takes seconds.
No dev work
Connect once and toggle it on. FlyCode runs in parallel with your billing and syncs status.
7-11% more recurring revenue
Higher recovery rates
Faster recovery, less revenue in limbo

Will customers get an email and a text for the same failure?
Only as part of one coordinated sequence. FlyCode doesn't double up or send conflicting messages across channels.
Is SMS recovery compliant?
Yes. Messages follow SMS consent and compliance standards and are transactional in nature.
Do I need a separate SMS provider?
No. Recovery SMS is built into FlyCode and coordinated with the rest of your recovery automatically.
When are recovery texts sent?
Texts go out when the customer is most likely to see and act on them, coordinated with your email and retry timing, not at 2 a.m. local time.
What happens when a customer taps the link?
It opens a fast, native update page with all local payment options, so fixing the payment takes seconds.
Do I need engineering work to turn it on?
No. Connect your billing platform once and toggle it on. Recovery SMS runs in parallel with your billing and requires no code.
Does it work with my billing stack?
Connect Stripe today, with PayPal and more on the way. Subscription management works with Shopify, Recharge, Skio, Stay AI, and Chargebee, and new integrations are added regularly.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is outcome-based. You only pay when FlyCode recovers a payment, so it pays for itself out of revenue you would otherwise have lost.
