Are you prioritizing monthly subscriptions? You should be. Butter's latest analysis found that shoppers prefer monthly subscriptions over annual commitments. What does this mean for subscription brands? You can drive more recurring revenue by leaning into consumer preferences and making a monthly subscription the path of least resistance.

How you recover failed payments matters more than you think. 🤔 Our latest analysis shows that in the publishing industry, subscribers recovered through algorithmic retires stay enrolled 2X longer than those recovered through dunning communications. Why? Automatic retries address the issue quietly in the background, safeguarding the subscriber experience and preserving long-term value.

Everyone was talking about Stablecoins at #Money20/20… now I saw this news by @Kathleen Greenler Sexton on @Subscription Insider that @Stripe announced support for Stablecoin subscription payments — but only for U.S. merchants. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eGmRbEfY Here’s why this news left me scratching my head… The true benefit of Stablecoins is solving issues related to currency conversion, speed, and cost in hard-to-reach markets. But in the U.S., credit card payments settle in seconds — so what problem is this solving? If Stripe’s saying merchants get paid faster, that’s not about Stablecoins — it’s about when they choose to release funds. This feels more like adding PayPal or Venmo: more ways to pay, sure, but no real savings in time or cost (unless fees drop below card rates). For a subscription business, this could even increase involuntary churn. Solutions like @Butter Payments help optimize card retries, but if all that’s left are empty stablecoin wallets, churn will grow for these companies and cost millions in revenue. Stablecoins have tremendous value globally, but for U.S. subscription businesses? I’m not seeing it yet. Curious to hear others’ thoughts — what’s your take on Stripe’s latest move here? #Fintech #Stripe #Stablecoin #DigitalPayments #SubscriptionEconomy #Payments

Are you seeing trial users drop off before becoming paid subscribers? You’re not alone. Our latest data shows that first invoices are 3 times more likely to fail than recurring ones, making trial-to-paid the toughest moment in the customer journey. Here’s how you can address this issue: 💰 Charge a nominal fee instead of offering a free trial to filter out low-quality subscribers who are unlikely to convert. 💳 Don’t accept prepaid cards. They are correlated with lower customer quality and higher fraud exposure. The dispute rate of prepaid cards is 5 times higher than that of other payment methods. 🗓️ Extend your trial period to give potential subscribers more time to appreciate the value of your publication.

A new recurring payments market report from Market.us highlights the value of using AI and ML for security and fraud management – a critical area of innovation for our industry. What stood out to me is how these same technologies are also transforming churn management through failed payment recovery. It’s a good reminder that every false positive in fraud prevention isn’t just a lost transaction, but also a lost customer and lost revenue - particularly in the subscription / recurring payments space. With consumers increasingly cash‑constrained, intelligent payment recovery is essential. AI-driven retries reduce churn while preserving trust and customer relationships. Check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gpCQaRwP I'd love to hear how your company is thinking of using AI / ML-driven strategies to improve retention - please share both successes and pitfalls for the rest of us to avoid! #Payments #AI #MachineLearning #FraudPrevention #RecurringPayments
