About this Product
Every failed card charge on a renewing subscription is revenue you already earned but haven't collected — and left alone, it becomes involuntary churn. Subscription Dunning & Smart Retry for Odoo is a build-to-order module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports on your Odoo 17, 18, or 19 instance to stop that leak.
This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download. After you purchase, ECOSIRE's Odoo engineers scope the module to your subscription setup (sale.subscription / recurring invoices, your payment providers, and your brand voice), then deliver a tested, documented add-on in one working week. You get real Odoo code — proper models.Model extensions, ir.cron scheduled jobs, ir.model.access.csv + record rules, QWeb email templates, and OWL/XML views — not a black-box SaaS bolted onto the side.
How it works. When a recurring account.move payment fails against your payment acquirer, the module opens a dunning case record tied to the invoice, subscription, and partner. A configurable retry engine re-attempts the charge on a smart schedule (with exponential backoff and provider-aware timing that avoids tripping card-issuer velocity limits), while a parallel dunning sequence escalates communication — polite reminder, then firmer notice, then a final "update your card" prompt — over email and optional SMS. Customers get a secure self-service link to update their payment method, which retriggers a retry on success. Cases that recover close automatically; cases that exhaust the schedule route to your team (or to auto-suspension) per your rules.
Everything runs inside Odoo, on your data, with full audit trails in the chatter. A compute field (@api.depends) surfaces recovery status on the subscription; an involuntary-churn dashboard shows how much revenue the retries saved you. Because it's native, it respects your multi-company, multi-currency, and access-rights setup out of the box — and it's covered by a support window and a fixed price, with no per-transaction fee skimming your recovered revenue.
Built for SaaS and any subscription business on Odoo that's tired of watching renewals silently fail.
What you get
- Complete, installable Odoo module (proper __manifest__.py, models, views, security, data) targeting your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 version, delivered to your repo or as a versioned package
- Scoping and configuration session: your retry schedule, backoff rules, dunning copy, channels and suspension policy captured and implemented
- Pre-built QWeb/mail.template dunning emails (and optional SMS templates) in your brand voice, wired for your active locales
- Installation and deployment on your instance (Odoo.sh, self-hosted, or ECOSIRE-managed) plus a smoke-tested run against a real failed-payment scenario
- Written documentation: admin configuration guide, data model overview and an operator runbook for handling escalated cases
- Live training session for your billing/finance team, with a recording for future hires
- A post-launch support window (bug fixes and adjustments) with defined SLA, plus a paid extension/retainer option
- Source code ownership and handover so your team (or another dev) can maintain and extend it later
Who this is for
SaaS finance / RevOps lead
Owns MRR and cares about involuntary churn. Wants failed renewals recovered automatically inside Odoo with clear analytics on revenue saved — not another external tool taking a cut of recovered payments.
Subscription business owner / operator
Runs recurring billing (memberships, boxes, services) on Odoo and is bleeding renewals to expired or declined cards. Wants a hands-off retry-and-remind system that just works and keeps customers subscribed.
Odoo administrator / billing manager
Configures and runs the Odoo instance day to day. Needs a native, permission-scoped module with proper access rights and audit trails that fits multi-company/multi-currency setups, not a fragile bolt-on.
Customer-success / accounts-receivable agent
Handles the accounts that don't self-recover. Wants failed payments surfaced as clear cases with escalation history and a one-click way to send the customer a card-update link.
How Subscription Dunning & Smart Retry for Odoo Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recovers failed recurring payments automatically | Yes — ir.cron retry engine with smart backoff | Only if you build and maintain the scheduler yourself | Sometimes — often fixed schedule, limited | No — failed renewals just sit as unpaid invoices |
| Smart retry timing (avoids card-issuer decline limits) | Yes — provider-aware spacing and decline-reason routing | Rarely — usually naive same-interval retries | Varies — many hammer on a fixed cadence | No |
| Staged dunning email + SMS escalation | Yes — multi-step QWeb templates in your brand voice, optional SMS | You author and wire every template and step | Email often yes; SMS and staging inconsistent | No dunning sequence out of the box |
| Self-service card-update flow that retriggers a retry | Yes — tokenized portal link | Significant extra build effort | Sometimes | No |
| Involuntary-churn analytics (revenue saved, at-risk MRR) | Yes — pivot/graph dashboard | You build the reporting | Basic or none | No |
| Native Odoo, access-scoped, multi-company aware | Yes — ir.model.access.csv + record rules, chatter audit | Depends on your team's rigor | Usually yes, quality varies | N/A — feature absent |
| Odoo 17 / 18 / 19 support + version-upgrade path | Yes — built for your version, upgrade update available | You port it each upgrade | Depends on vendor maintenance | Ships with core |
| Delivery model and ongoing cost | Build-to-order in one working week, fixed price, you own the code, no per-transaction fee | Unpredictable internal dev time | Instant install but recurring license and possible % fees | Free but does nothing here |
Frequently Asked Questions about Subscription Dunning & Smart Retry
Is this an instant download from the Odoo App Store?
No. This is a build-to-order module. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports it specifically for your Odoo instance and subscription setup — it is not an existing apps.odoo.com download. You are buying a delivered, working add-on plus the engineering behind it, not a self-serve zip.
How long does delivery take, and what's the lead time?
Typical delivery is one working week from a completed scoping session. Straightforward configurations (standard retry schedule, email-only dunning) land toward the shorter end; deeper needs (multi-provider logic, SMS, custom suspension workflows, external API integration) toward the longer end. We confirm a firm timeline with you before build starts and keep you updated at each milestone.
What support and updates do I get after launch?
Every build includes a post-launch support window covering bug fixes and reasonable adjustments under a defined SLA. Because it's native Odoo code you own, it keeps working after your support window ends. We also offer a paid retainer for ongoing enhancements, and a compatibility update if you upgrade your Odoo version (e.g. 18 to 19) — versions 17, 18 and 19 are all supported.
Which Odoo editions and versions does it work with?
We build for Odoo 17, 18, and 19. It works on both Community and Enterprise — note that recurring subscriptions (sale.subscription) are an Enterprise feature, so on Community we adapt the module to your recurring-invoicing setup. We confirm your exact edition, version and payment providers during scoping so the module fits precisely.
Will it work with my payment provider and my existing subscriptions?
Yes. It hooks into Odoo's payment layer (payment.transaction / account.payment) and your active acquirers, and reads your existing recurring invoices and subscriptions — no need to re-create your billing. During scoping we map your providers and decline scenarios so retries and the card-update flow behave correctly for each.
How is it different from just retrying charges manually or writing our own script?
A manual process forgets, and a one-off script has no audit trail, no permission scoping, no dunning sequence, and breaks on Odoo upgrades. This module gives you a proper data model, an ir.cron-driven engine, staged multi-channel messaging, a self-service card-update portal, churn analytics, and access rights — all native, documented, supported, and owned by you.
Does it stay compliant with our access rights and multi-company setup?
Yes. Security is enforced with ir.model.access.csv and record rules so only your billing/finance roles can view or act on dunning cases, and it respects Odoo multi-company and multi-currency boundaries. All actions are logged in the chatter for a full audit trail.
