Paydock enhances what’s possible with PayPal by introducing a suite of features designed to give businesses more control, flexibility, and simplicity when managing recurring payments.

Businesses that rely on PayPal for regular payments can now take better care of their customers through Paydock’s management tools. Set the number of retries and retry intervals for failed payments to help retain more customers while reducing involuntary churn. This level of flexibility allows your business to maintain strong customer relationships and reduces the likelihood of subscription cancellations.
