Illustrative estimate using an assumed 5% failed-payment rate and 62% recoverability. It is not a benchmark result or a guarantee. Model updated July 2026.
Beta transparency
What can be verified today.
Dunlo publishes assumptions, recovery mechanics, and its proof policy before it publishes customer outcomes.
During beta, customer outcomes are published only with approval and enough context to be useful.
Visible assumptions
The public benchmark exposes the illustrative failed-payment bands and 62% recoverability assumption used in its model. Updated July 2026.
Visible mechanics
Failure reasons, recovery timing, customer update links, and founder review are documented before signup.
Visible proof policy
Customer metrics and stories remain private until the sample is useful and the customer approves publication.
Built and supported by Mathieu Chambaud
A founder-led beta with a public standard for proof.
I built Dunlo to make failed-payment recovery more specific and less awkward for customers. Beta feedback goes directly to me.

Straight answers before you connect Stripe.
Is this just Stripe Smart Retries with nicer emails?
No. Stripe can retry cards. Dunlo handles the customer-facing recovery layer around Stripe: message, timing, founder review, and recovered-payment reporting.
Will customers know an automation sent the email?
The copy is plain, specific, and tied to the payment reason. High-value or sensitive accounts can pause for founder review before anything is sent.
How does Dunlo connect to Stripe?
Dunlo uses Stripe OAuth. You authorize access in Stripe and can revoke that connection from Stripe or Dunlo.
Does Dunlo store card numbers?
No. Card updates happen through Stripe-hosted flows. Dunlo uses payment and subscription context, not full card numbers or CVC data.
Do I pay during beta?
No. Dunlo is free during beta and does not take a percentage of recovered revenue during that period. Pricing changes will be communicated before billing starts.
Can sensitive accounts require founder review?
Yes. Important accounts can pause before a message is sent so a founder can review the Stripe context and prepared draft.
