Failed Payment Recovery Agent with OpenClaw

Nobody logs into Stripe every morning looking for declines, which is why they go unnoticed for a fortnight and turn into cancellations. OpenClaw is a straightforward harness to point at exactly that gap, and it needs nothing running on your side to cover it. A charge fails, a draft appears, one line lands in the channel.

A considered pairing

Why OpenClaw for this agent

Covers the unwatched thing

The work is not difficult, it is simply work nobody has been assigned. A plain hosted agent is a reasonable answer to that particular shape of problem.

No infrastructure for dunning

Chasing failed payments normally means buying a dunning product or writing a cron job. Here it is a trigger and an agent that shuts down when the run ends.

Good to know

Before you fork

Do I have to write a dunning policy before it works?

You should, because it is the only thing telling the agent how soon to reach out, how many attempts to make, and which customers are too valuable to email without a person reading first. Left thin, the drafts come out polite, generic and identical for every account. A few sentences in plain English is enough to start with.
