How it Works
Catch it at the boundary
FlyCode detects failed first payments the moment a trial converts, before they vanish from your reporting.
Recover automatically
The same adaptive recovery engine that handles renewals goes to work on trial conversions, no manual chasing.
Report the lift
See exactly how many trial-to-paid conversions FlyCode recovered and the revenue they represent.
No dev work

Trial Recovery vs standard trial handling
| Capability | Trial Recovery | Standard trial handling |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility into failed conversions | Surfaces every failed trial charge in real time | Failed conversions look like non-conversions |
| Retry strategy | ML-optimized per decline reason | Fixed schedule, or none |
| Decline-reason awareness | Reads the real reason from 100+ datapoints per transaction | None |
| Card-network data models | Trained on Visa and Mastercard network data | None |
| Coordinated with messaging | Retries and emails coordinated, no spamming | Generic emails, if any |
| Recovery lift | Adds 7-11% to recurring revenue on top of processor defaults | Baseline only |
| Conversion analytics | Real-time, by decline type and plan | Partial |
| Protects acquisition spend (CAC) | Recovers conversions you already paid to acquire | Lost at the final step |
| When failures are caught | At the trial-to-paid boundary, in real time | After they vanish from reporting, if at all |

Why don't failed trial conversions show up in Stripe?
When a trial ends and the first charge fails, the subscription often never activates, so it doesn't appear in standard failed-payment or recovery reports the way a renewal failure does. FlyCode surfaces and recovers these.
Does this work alongside my existing recovery?
Yes. Trial Recovery uses the same engine and runs in parallel with your renewal recovery.
What does the trial-to-paid report show?
Trial signups that failed at conversion, how many FlyCode recovered, and the resulting revenue.
How does FlyCode recover a failed trial conversion?
The same adaptive recovery engine that handles renewals reads the real decline reason and retries the first charge with the timing and strategy most likely to succeed, automatically.
Will recovery annoy a brand-new customer?
No. Retries run quietly and any messaging is coordinated, so a new customer is not pushed away on day one. They only hear from you when it genuinely helps.
Do I need engineering work to turn it on?
No. Connect your billing platform once and toggle Trial Recovery on. It 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 trial conversion, so it pays for itself out of revenue you would otherwise have lost.
