Why payment method analysis matters for Chargebee users
Payment method choice directly impacts collection rates and involuntary churn. Direct debit typically has higher success rates than credit cards, while some methods are preferred in specific geographies.
Chargebee users managing multiple payment gateways can use this analysis to steer customers towards higher-performing methods and optimise gateway routing.
