Sample audit
What the free audit shows you.
This is the dashboard the morning after Jane's Field Notes, a made-up publication, connected its Stripe account. Yours shows your own account's numbers a minute or two after you connect, and nothing changes in Stripe.
Founding offer: connect by December 31, 2026 and it's free until June 30, 2027, however many subscribers you have. No card needed.

Sample data: Jane's Field Notes and its readers are made up.
How to read it
Three numbers, and who they are.
- 1
14 failed, $328 unpaid
Renewals from the last 90 days that failed and were never paid. In this sample, 11 of the 14 belong to readers Stripe had already canceled after its last retry: $232 that went quietly before anyone wrote to them.
- 2
3 currently recovering
Imported the moment you connect. Each gets a plain reminder in your name at the first daily run, then one every three days for up to 30 days. Reminders stop when they pay, or when Stripe ends the subscription. Here that is $96 still in play.
- 3
Recovered so far
Every payment that comes in after one of our emails is counted here, and you get a short email each time it happens. It starts at zero the day you connect.
What Sam gets
One plain email, from you.
Sent as your publication, with replies coming to you and a link to Stripe's own page for that invoice, where the reader updates their card and pays without signing in.
- We read subscriptions and invoices, and never charge, refund or edit anything
- Nothing changes in Ghost, Substack, Circle or your plugin
- Disconnect from your Stripe dashboard any time

SubjectYour $8.00 payment to Jane's Field Notes didn't go through
Hi Sam,
We couldn't process the $8.00 payment for your Jane's Field Notes subscription. Your subscription stays active for now, but we'll need an updated payment method to keep it that way.
Update your payment method and pay now
