Show IH: RetryFix - Automatically recover failed Stripe payments and earn 10% on everything we win back
Hey IH,
I just launched RetryFix — a simple tool that automatically chases failed Stripe payments for you.
The problem
Every month, merchants lose real money when customer cards fail. Most people either ignore it or spend hours manually chasing invoices. It's painful and most of the revenue is just… gone.
What RetryFix does
Detects failed payments via Stripe webhooks
Sends smart dunning emails on a schedule (day 1, 3, 7…)
Retries the invoice automatically
Tracks everything in a clean dashboard
Only charges you 10% of the money we actually recover (Performance plan)
You pay nothing upfront and nothing if we don’t win the money back.
Current status
I’ve been testing heavily with multiple merchants and currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, etc.). The system is now stable:
Backfill works cleanly (only shows currently open failures in the free preview)
Dunning + recovery flow is working end-to-end
Performance fee metering with FX conversion is live
Who it’s for
Anyone running a SaaS, e-commerce, or subscription business on Stripe who hates losing money on failed cards.
Pricing
Free: See your failed payments
Starter: Basic automated recovery
Performance: 10% only on recovered revenue (pay only when we win)
Would love honest feedback from the community.
Try it here: https://retryfix.com
Looking forward to your thoughts — especially if you’ve struggled with failed payments before.
Thanks!

The "pay-per-recovery" model is a total no-brainer for founders, Paul. Losing revenue to failed Stripe payments is a silent killer for SaaS, so offering a 10% performance plan makes it an easy "yes" for anyone looking to plug their churn holes.
I’m currently running a project in Tokyo (Tokyo Lore) that highlights high-utility tools just like RetryFix. Since you're focused on helping businesses win back lost revenue, entering this competition could be a perfect way to demonstrate your recovery logic to a live field of builders.
Oh this has some potential in my books!
Clear problem and pricing model — that part is solid.
One thing I’d watch early though:
in this space, a lot of tools end up competing on the same promise — “recover failed payments.”
When that happens, people don’t choose based on features — they choose what they remember or trust first.
“RetryFix” works functionally, but long-term the question is:
does it feel like a default category name, or just another tool in the list?
Seen products here plateau not because they didn’t work — but because they never stood out in memory.
If this starts scaling, that layer becomes more important than expected.
Thanks @aryan_sinh — really appreciate the thoughtful feedback!
Glad the problem and the 10% performance pricing resonated. That was the hardest part to get right.
I hear you on the name. “RetryFix” is very functional and descriptive (which helped during building and testing), but I agree it risks sounding like a feature rather than a memorable brand. It’s something I’ve been thinking about too.
Would love any name ideas you have if something stronger comes to mind — or any other early impressions.
Appreciate you taking the time!
You’re right to question it now — this is exactly the stage where it matters most.
Because once something like this starts working, the name quietly becomes the ceiling.
“RetryFix” will always read as a utility — which means:
easy to understand, but also easy to forget and easy to replace.
In a space like this, you don’t really win by explaining better — you win by being the thing people default to when they think “recover lost revenue.”
That usually comes from names that feel:
→ less like a feature
→ more like a system already doing the job in the background
Not just “what it does” — but “what it becomes over time.”
If this works (and it probably will, given the model), I’d honestly change direction early rather than optimize around it.
Happy to actually map a tighter naming direction + shortlist based on how you want to position this — instead of just throwing random names.
