Triage failed payments
Paystack Subscription Recovery focuses on Paystack subscription recovery, billing failed payment webhooks, retry schedules, and dunning notifications. In AWRA, plans configuration and subscription billing controls regulate workspace feature access levels, billing cadences, and payment compliance.
The primary objective is transactional stability and feature lock enforcement. Admins must verify plans properties and limits rules before saving configurations.
In practice, a renewal is declined, the workspace enters a seven-day grace period with full access, AWRA retries the saved card on days 1, 3 and 5, and the day-3 retry succeeds, restoring the workspace with the usual receipt.
Recovery dunning path
Fail
Paystack reports the renewal declined; the workspace enters a grace period (seven days by default) with full access.
Retry
AWRA retries the saved card on days 1, 3 and 5 of the grace window, once each, never charging a paid period twice.
Notify
Each declined retry puts a notice in the Admins’ bell; the last failure, no saved card, or two days of grace left alerts AWRA support once.
Restrict
If nothing is paid by the end of grace, the workspace is past due and only the billing pages work until a payment lands.
Billing model
- Workspace plans define strict feature groups and limits.
- Subscription conversions require clear upgrade paths.
- Failed invoice collections trigger automatic dunning cycles.
- Always audit overrides permissions to prevent revenue leakage.
