Retention

Who is likely to cancel

The churn score and band on each active subscriber, the factors behind it, and what to do with the list.

Each active subscriber carries a churn score, refreshed on the hourly maintenance pass, and a band: high, medium or low. High-risk subscribers are listed on your dashboard, and high and medium subscribers are listed under Retention AI, worst first, with the factors that drove the score.

Where to find it

On the app's Overview under At-risk subscribers, under Retention AI → Spot who might leave, and as an At risk badge and Risk signals on each row in Subscribers.

Options

The score is worked out from real signals on your store, not from an AI model:

FactorWhat it means
Subscription is pausedA paused subscriber is closer to canceling than an active one.
Failed paymentsOne or more billing attempts failed.
Payment recovery exhaustedThe retry ladder ran out without a successful charge.
Only the first order so farNew subscribers are the most fragile.
Next billing date is overdueThe next charge is more than two days late.

Example

What to do with it

  • Keep your best save offer ready for the cancel flow, so a subscriber on the way out sees a reason to stay.
  • Reach out before the cancel, not after. A skipped delivery or a paused month keeps a subscriber that a cancellation loses.
  • Read the factors. A list of at-risk subscribers who all failed a payment last cycle is a dunning problem, not a product problem.
