Stripe x Cleavr: Automate the Recovery of Your Stripe Payments

Stripe handles your payments. Cleavr recovers your unpaid invoices.Thousands of SaaS and B2B companies rely on Stripe to invoice their clients. But collecting a Stripe payment and recovering an unpaid Stripe invoice are two very different problems, and Stripe only solves the first.When a Stripe payment fails or a subscription falls behind, most finance teams end up chasing manually, without visibility into the client's history or the reasons for non-payment. The result: weeks lost, DSO drifting, and avoidable involuntary churn.That's exactly what Cleavr solves.

What the Stripe x Cleavr Integration Solves

Stripe dunning, the automatic retry of failed recurring payments, is one of the leading causes of involuntary churn in SaaS. Based on data observed across B2B SaaS portfolios, 20 to 25% of total churn is linked to payment failures, not a deliberate decision by the client to leave.The Cleavr x Stripe integration automatically synchronises your billing and payment data, and triggers intelligent collections the moment an unpaid invoice is detected, without your team having to intervene.

How Cleavr Works with Stripe

The moment a Stripe invoice becomes overdue or a recurring payment fails, Cleavr takes over autonomously. Our AI analyses the client's payment profile, chooses the right channel (email, SMS, call, WhatsApp), personalises the message, and adapts the frequency based on the response received.If the client doesn't respond, Cleavr escalates progressively, through to formal notice and litigation with our partner bailiffs and lawyers, without your team having to intervene.Particularly useful for B2B SaaS: recurring payment failures are one of the leading causes of involuntary churn. Cleavr detects these signals early and acts before the client is lost, directly protecting your ARR.
