The Patch Brand setup SMS journeys inside Attentive based to target payment failure events captured by Loop's smart dunning management solution.

The Challenge: Payment failures resulting in revenue loss

The Patch Brand had migrated from Recharge to Loop because we were the best available alternative to Recharge in the Shopify ecosystem.

Sustaining a successful subscription program involves a lot of moving parts. Along with a good subscription model, you also need a smart dunning management system that ensures high payment success rates.

The Patch Brand was getting a lot of payment failures on their subscription orders. Their subscribers were not aware that their credit card payments on subscription orders were not going through. 

The Solution: Loop x Attentive for timely SMS reminders

With Loop & Attentive’s deep integration, Patch Brand set out to reduce their payment failure’s systematically. 

Patch Brand set up 5 failed payment retries through our dunning system.

Next they wanted to figure out a way of communicating to subscribers when their subscription payments failed.

This is what they did:

• Patch Brand used Loop’s deep integration with Attentive to notify customers about their payment failures via SMS. 
• The SMS text contained a one-click login link to Patch Brand’s customer portal (password-less/OTP-less) where subscribers could update their payment information. 

• The first sms sent by Patch Brand to their customers saw a high CTR of 12%.

• This encouraged Patch Brand to send more SMSes for payment retries to their customers.

The Result: Payment failures reduced in no time

Patch brand started using the Loop X Attentive integration from 1st November, 2022.

Comparing the revenue lost due to payment failures between October 2022 & November 2022, Patch Brand was able to reduce payment failures by 65% and realise more than 94% of their revenue (for subscription orders). 

The CTR of the SMS campaign on failed payment was ~12% in just 1 month. Customers found it very convenient to use one-click logins to update their payment details via SMS. 

It all ends well for this wellness brands!
