Switching to Revnio
Connecting takes a few minutes: paste a restricted Stripe key, or an API key for Chargebee or Paddle. Revnio sets up the webhook in your account, syncs your customers, subscriptions and invoices, and starts recovery on new failed payments. To avoid customers getting two sets of reminders, turn off the other tool's emails for the same failures once Revnio is live. Our dunning email templates and decline code guide help you set up the sequence.
