Dunning Effectiveness

Dunning management is part of Recurly’s revenue recovery support. The Dunning Effectiveness dashboard tracks the dunning recovery rate, amount of revenue recovered, and number of subscriptions saved for invoices that go past due. Dunning is set up on the account’s Configuration menu. For sites with multiple dunning campaigns enabled, it's possible to view the data for all dunning campaigns or for a specific dunning campaign and version on this dashboard. The ability to create multiple dunning campaigns is available to all merchants.

What's included in the dashboard?

  • Each dashboard view has three methods for evaluating dunning effectiveness: Invoices Recovered (Recovery Rate), Revenue Recovered, and Subscriptions Saved.
  • All dashboard views include a section for dunning Recovery Over Time. The Individual Dunning Campaign views also include a section for Dunning Lifecycle.
  • This dashboard only includes automatic invoices. Manual invoices and manual invoice dunning settings are excluded from this report at this time.

Using the Dunning Effectiveness dashboard, you can:

  • Monitor dunning recovery over time and identify changes to recovery when dunning settings are modified.
  • Determine the effectiveness of your current or past dunning settings and make corresponding changes to length, number of emails sent, etc., based on this information.
  • View data for individual dunning campaigns or all dunning campaigns collectively.

To maintain access to the most current information you can refresh the data in the widgets. The data for this dashboard updates multiple times a day. You can verify the time the last changes were uploaded by checking the widget at the bottom of the dashboard.

Dunning Effectiveness Dashboard

The Dunning Effectiveness dashboard is divided into key performance indicator widgets, bar charts, and status detail views.

The widgets on this dashboard’s user interface provide you with access to the following common features:

Actions at the top right corner of the dashboard provide the following functionality:

  • Reload action tracks the last time you refreshed your data up to four hours. The counter then resets, beginning with 1m ago This tells you how current your data is from the last refresh.
  • Hide Filters action hides those filters that display in the top left corner of the dashboard.
  • Dashboard actions allow you to either clear the cache and refresh the data, view a Download Dashboard from where you can select a download format, page size, or specify how to arrange downloaded data, or reset filters to their default settings.
  • Open Folders action allows you to open and view contents of folders from the dashboard.

Filters in the top left corner of this dashboard provide the following options:

  • Date Range filter provides dropdown menus where you can choose a timeframe and date range from within the last 18 months to determine the data that displays on the dashboard.

  • Primary Currency filter allows you to choose the currency type that will display on the dashboard from currencies that you already enabled in the site settings.

  • Dunning Campaign filter specifies which version of your preconfigured dunning campaigns will be applied.
    If you only have configured one campaign, apply this as your default choice. However, if you have enabled and configured multiple dunning campaigns, on the Individual Dunning Campaigns views, you can choose from those additional campaigns in the Version filter.

  • Version filter provides a dropdown list of additional dunning campaigns from which you choose.

Multiple Currency support is available in the Recurly Professional, Elite, and Enterprise plans. You may run transactions in more than one currency through one or more payment gateways that accept the currencies you want to collect. If you choose US dollars, this will be your Primary currency and the default choice. Totals on the dashboard will display in US dollars.

Once Multiple Currency support is enabled on your Recurly account, you can then specify which currencies you want to accept. When a currency is added to your accepted list, you may then define pricing for your subscription plans and coupons using the new currency. Then, choose one of the enabled currencies for the dashboard.

  • Sites that support more than one currency (the primary currency) will see a default view that shows the total payments, refunds, and net billings across all currencies, converted to their primary currency and summed.
  • You can also view the payments, refunds and net billings processed in each individually supported currency.
  • Conversion rates are updated daily (via https://openexchangerates.org/) Historical billings use the conversion rate of the day of transaction and do not change over time for current conversion rates.

Clear Cache options allow you to clear cache and refresh data in three places on this dashboard:

  • Click the vertical ellipse on any of the widgets, at the bottom of the dashboard to see the timestamp for the most current version of data on the dashboard.
  • Click the vertical ellipse on any of the widgets within the dashboard to update the selected widget with the most current data available during the session.
  • Click the Actions widget -> vertical ellipse at top right corner of the dashboard to clear the cache and refresh the data. Recurly updates the data multiple times a day, so after a refresh, the most current data available will upload.

Vertical ellipses available on widgets for either charts or tables, provide you with a dropdown menu where you can select the following options:

  • Click the vertical ellipse on any widget to download data or clear cache and refresh data for that selected widget.
  • Click the vertical ellipse on a column in a table to freeze data, copy values, auto size or reset column widths.

Charts and legends display data in this dashboard’s widgets in bar, line, and pie charts. This data often includes customer, subscriber, subscription, plans, and revenue totals in increments specified by time and date ranges. If the information on one of these charts is color-coded, there will be a legend on the widget that identifies the value assigned to the color. For example, specific colors are assigned to specific data or totals being tracked, to enable you to read the chart.

  • Click a point in a line chart or a specific color on a bar or pie chart to display the corresponding timeframe and value in hover text. For example, total number of subscribers for a corresponding month.
  • Click the corresponding color in the legend to hide that corresponding line, bar, or pie chart segment from the widget. Click on the color again, to restore the data.
