Stop failed paymentsbefore they happen.
Stripe retries after the payment fails. We warn your customers before their card ever expires — with a one-click fix.
The cost of waiting until the payment fails.
Most dunning tools show up after the charge has already bounced. By then the customer is annoyed, the email goes to spam, and your MRR is already gone.
Three steps. Two minutes.
No engineering work. No sales calls. Connect Stripe and we handle the rest.
Connect Stripe
One-click OAuth. Read-only Stripe Connect access. We identify every active subscription whose card expires in the next 30, 14, or 7 days.
Customers get a nudge
A clean email fires automatically with a one-click Stripe Customer Portal link. They update their card in seconds — not after the payment fails.
Watch MRR stay safe
Dashboard shows exactly how much revenue is attached to expiring cards, who updated, and who didn’t. Involuntary churn quietly disappears.
What happens when a card expires.
Same customer. Same expiring card. Two very different outcomes.
You find out after it breaks.
- ×Day 0: Card silently expires. Stripe attempts the renewal — declined.
- ×Day 0: Subscription paused. Customer locked out mid-workflow.
- ×Day 1: Generic Stripe failure email. Half end up in promotions.
- ×Day 7: Smart retries fail. Customer cancels — or just forgets.
- ×Net result: Lost MRR. Lost trust. A "win-back" campaign next quarter.
You fix it before they notice.
- ✓30 days out: Customer gets a friendly heads-up. One-click portal link.
- ✓14 days out: Gentle reminder if they haven’t updated yet.
- ✓7 days out: Final nudge — branded, on your domain, opens at 62%.
- ✓Renewal day: New card on file. Charge clears. No interruption.
- ✓Net result: MRR retained. Customer stays. Slack quiet.
A nudge that doesn't feel like dunning.
Plain, branded, on your domain. Single CTA. No guilt-trip language, no "FINAL NOTICE" subject lines. Just the date, the card, and a one-click portal link.
- Sent from your domain via Resend
- 62% open rate · 41% click-through
- Plain-text fallback for old clients
- Branded with your logo and colors
Quick note: the card you use for your Tablecue subscription is set to expire before your next renewal. Wanted to catch this early so nothing skips a beat.
It takes about 20 seconds in the secure Stripe portal:
Update my card →If your card is already updated, you can ignore this. We won't send another reminder unless something changes.
Founder, Tablecue
"I was losing roughly $1,800 a monthto expired cards and didn't even know it. CardHawk found it in the first scan. Two weeks in, our involuntary churn is essentially zero — and I haven't written a single line of dunning code."
Built on the safest scopes Stripe gives us.
Pre-dunning works without a single write permission. We see only what we need to email your customers before their card expires — and nothing else.
We request read-only Stripe Connect access — we can never create charges or move money.
We never see or store full card numbers — only last 4 digits and expiry date.
Your customers receive a maximum of 3 emails per card expiry window — signed with your product name, not ours.
You can revoke our access from your Stripe dashboard instantly at any time.
How much are you losing right now?
Type your MRR. We'll show you the industry-average leak from expired cards — and how much of it pre-dunning typically claws back.
