On July 22, 2026, Auto Retry — instant payment re-attempts the moment a subscriber updates their card — becomes standard behavior on all Ordergroove accounts.

Using a custom retry workflow? Merchants who listen for payment update webhooks and manually trigger a retry (e.g., Send Now) must disable that workflow before July 22. Otherwise, your automation and Auto Retry will both attempt payment, which can result in unforeseen and compounding errors in your subscription program. Need more time to adjust? Opt out here.

Using the standard retry process? There's nothing you need to do — Auto Retry will be enabled automatically on July 22.

What's changing

• Today: a subscription in retry waits for its next scheduled attempt (or a manual Send Now) — even after the subscriber has already fixed their card.
• Starting July 22: as soon as Ordergroove detects a successful payment method update, we immediately re-attempt payment on eligible subscriptions in retry.
• Your existing safeguards still apply: standard retry rules and payment processing safeguards continue to work exactly as before. Orders that have already exhausted the dunning flow aren't affected — only subscriptions actively in a retry state.

What you need to do

• Most merchants: nothing. Auto Retry turns on automatically on July 22.
• If you listen for payment-update webhooks and trigger your own retry (e.g., a custom Send Now automation): disable that workflow before July 22. Otherwise, both your automation and Auto Retry will attempt payment, resulting in duplicate payment attempts.

Why we're making this change

• Faster recovery of failed payments — revenue is recognized sooner, and fewer subscriptions slip into involuntary churn.
• A better subscriber experience — no awkward gap between fixing a card and seeing the order go through. Recovery happens while subscriber intent is highest, right when they've taken action.

Need more time?

If you need to adjust conflicting automations, or need more time to check your set-up before the rollout, you can opt out via this form. You must complete the form by the end of the day on July 21, 2026. If we don't hear from you, your account will get Auto Retry starting on July 22.
