Recover Failed
PayPal Payments
Subscriptions paid through PayPal fail differently than card payments. Slicker applies PayPal-specific recovery logic to maximize your success rate.
PayPal Errors Are Not Like Cards
A PayPal account can pull from a balance, a linked bank account, or a backup card. When a payment fails, the surface error ("INSTRUMENT_DECLINED") hides whether the issue is an empty balance, a revoked bank link, or an expired backup card. Each needs a different recovery path.
PayPal Challenges
PayPal subscriptions fail differently than card payments—and need a different recovery approach.
Opaque Error Codes
PayPal error responses are notoriously vague. A generic 'INSTRUMENT_DECLINED' could mean dozens of different underlying issues.
Different Retry Rules
PayPal has its own rate limits, retry windows, and throttling behavior. Card retry logic applied to PayPal leads to wasted attempts or account flags.
Funding Source Complexity
PayPal pulls from balances, linked banks, and backup cards. A failure can originate from any layer in this chain, and each requires a different approach.
