Billing Attempt Summary

This report lists billing attempt status for Subscriptions during the selected time period, aggregated by Product, Affiliate, and Currency. It lists total billing attempts, and summarizes successful and failed attempts with the total amount billed. It specifies first, second, and subsequent billing attempts.

This report can be used to determine whether retry attempts for soft failures, and using card updater, result in increased payment capture, and are therefore cost effective when compared with the fees associated with retries.

To determine success rate without retries (Subscribe payment capture):

Divide (First Attempt Billing: Successful Attempts) by (First Attempt: Sub Total First Billing).

To determine Subscribe uplift:

Divide (Total successful billings - Total successful first attempts) by (Total first attempts).
