Why This Matters

With an automated dunning system, Loop ensures that that failed payments don’t result in lost revenue. WIth its automated retry logic and customer outreach to get back on track with failed payments and operations remotely, Loop enhances retention and minimizes churn.
Why This Matters
Churn isn’t just about cancellations, failed payments can silently eat up your revenue. Automated revenue recovery tools help you maintain cash flow so that you can focus on your growth instead of on chasing payments down.
Loop offers comprehensive analytics that help you understand your subscription business like never before. With insights into churn rates, subscriber growth, and revenue trends, you can make data-driven decisions that optimize performance and help retention.

The Bundle Builder feature from Loop allows you to create product bundles added directly to subscriptions, giving them more flexibility and increasing your average order value (AOV). Whether you want bundled discounted products to be sold or allow customers to pick a combination of items for their subscription, the Bundle Builder makes it easy.
Why This Matters:
The ability to give customizable bundles encourages customers to purchase more while maintaining the convenience of a subscription. It not only increases revenue but is also a good way to introduce something unique to customers while making your business competitive.
Instead of allowing your subscribers to cancel the subscription, you can automate certain workflows to engage customers planning to cancel their subscriptions. Offering a pause, providing some discount, or even a product swap as a last-ditch attempt to keep churners on board.
Why This Matters:
Churn is one of the most painful things to deal with for subscription businesses, Loop's Cancellation Flows give you a great edge to keep cancellations from happening in time. Bearing in mind that, your chances of keeping subscribers onboard, the right selection of options or incentives, increase substantially with this consideration.

Loop offers two primary migration paths to businesses for transitioning their subscription services to its platform. Both ways cater to different business needs and sizes, providing a lot of flexibility and tailored support according to the situation that the business finds itself in.
When migrating your subscriptions to Loop, it's important to address what data will be transferred, what will not, and the benefits you can look forward to. This will set the expectations properly and prepare them adequately for the migration.
Subscription Contracts: All current and active subscriptions will be moved to Loop. This includes all ongoing subscriber agreements and their terms.
Subscription Settings: The settings dictating the operation of all subscriptions, including renewals, price levels, and subscriber benefits will also be transferred to ensure that there is no interruption in continuity in subscriber experience.
Historical Order Data: Details of past orders will not be migrated. While this historical data can be accessed through historical exports from source platform, it will not be active in Loop.
Analytic information from previous platforms: Data such as total subscriber spend and other analyses from the previous platform will not migrate. However, the important dates of subscription features such as their created_at, cancelled_at, and paused_at will be preserved.
Dedicated Onboarding Team: Right from the start, you will receive personalized guidance from Loop’s team, solely dedicated to your success.
Seamless Data Transfer: Invisible to your customers
Continuous Support: Regular check-ins to ensure smooth operations.
Estimated migration time: The migration takes roughly 1 hour per 1000 to 1200 contracts, but this can change depending on the complexity and size of the data.
Migration fees: Loop doesn't charge more to migrate
Customers Action: Customers don't need to do anything during migration. The whole process happens behind the scenes without any need for customers to step in.
