Recurly x Output: 45% fewer credit card declines by leaving WooCommerce

45% decrease in credit card declines

Payment black box to full visibility and control

Why it works

The case study earns its headline metric by naming the before-state concretely: decline rates near 30% on WooCommerce at volume. It then explains the specific mechanisms Recurly used, including retry logic, dunning period extension from seven to fourteen days, multi-gateway routing, and failover, giving readers a replicable playbook. The 90% customer return rate after enabling pause features is a strong secondary proof point that keeps the story from resting on a single number.

Steal this

Pair the headline efficiency metric with a second, unexpected metric from a specific feature (90% return rate from pause functionality) to show depth of value beyond the lead claim.
