How much revenue do SaaS companies lose to failed payments?

On average, SaaS companies lose 5-9% of their MRR to failed payments (involuntary churn). Most founders underestimate this by 3x. Reecova's free scanner shows your exact number in 30 seconds.

How does Reecova recover failed payments?

Reecova uses a smart retry engine that analyzes failure codes and optimizes retry timing (e.g., retrying insufficient_funds on payday). It also runs automated dunning email campaigns to prompt customers to update payment methods.

Is the free scanner safe to use?

Yes. The scanner uses Stripe's read-only OAuth, auto-revokes access immediately after scanning, and stores no Stripe account data. Results are cached for 24 hours then deleted.

How much does Reecova cost?

Reecova is $49.99/month plus 10% of recovered revenue. There's a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You only pay the recovery fee on revenue we actually recover for you.

All decline codes

incorrect_cvcNeeds customer action

Stripe decline code: Incorrect CVC

The CVC security code didn't match.

Recovery outlook

Needs customer action. The card or account details need to change, or the customer must clear something with their bank. Recovery runs through dunning, not blind retries.

What it means

The 3- or 4-digit security code entered doesn't match what the issuer has on record for the card.

Why it happens

Usually a typo at entry, or a saved card whose CVC was never captured correctly. It also appears when a card was reissued with a new CVC.

Can you retry it?

You can't retry your way out of a wrong CVC. The correct code has to be re-entered by the customer. For saved-card subscriptions this means a dunning prompt to re-enter card details.

Recovery playbook

1Re-collect the CVC from the customer; don't auto-retry.
2For checkout, show an inline error so they can fix it immediately.
3For subscriptions, send an update-card prompt.
4Validate CVC at collection time to catch typos before the charge.

How Reecova handles incorrect_cvc

Reecova flags incorrect_cvc as needing customer action and triggers a dunning sequence to collect an updated card or prompt the bank contact, rather than wasting retry attempts. It runs across your whole Stripe account automatically, and shows the dollars each code is costing you.
