All-in-one platform to:

  • Cut payment delinquency: Send multi-touch reminder sequences before, on, and after due dates. Automated dunning workflows reach subscribers at the right moment to drive on-time payments.
  • Embed one-tap payment links: Include direct payment links in every notification so subscribers can settle their bill in seconds, without navigating through menus or logging into a portal.
  • Prevent involuntary disconnections: Catch overdue accounts early with escalating reminders during the grace period. Keep subscribers connected and reduce costly disconnection-reconnection cycles.
  • Lower collection costs: Replace expensive manual outreach and call center follow-ups with automated, personalized reminders that scale across your entire subscriber base.

Reach subscribers on the channel that gets results

  • Mobile push notifications: Send timely bill reminders with embedded payment buttons directly to subscriber devices. Push notifications deliver high visibility at near-zero cost per message.
  • SMS: Deliver critical payment alerts even when subscribers are offline or have uninstalled the app. SMS ensures your most urgent reminders (grace period, disconnection warning) always reach the subscriber.
  • In-app messaging: Display payment prompts, auto-pay enrollment offers, and balance summaries when subscribers open the app. Contextual in-app messages convert at higher rates because users are already engaged.
  • Email: Send detailed billing statements, payment receipts, and payment plan options. Email is ideal for longer-form payment communication that subscribers can reference later.

Real payment reminder scenarios

See how telecom operators use Pushwoosh to send targeted bill reminders at every stage of the billing cycle:

  • Pre-due reminder: “Your $45.99 bill is due in 3 days. Pay now to avoid late fees.” with a one-tap payment link.
  • Due date alert: “Payment reminder: Your bill is due tomorrow. Tap to pay in seconds.”
  • Grace period warning: “You’re in your grace period. Pay by Friday to keep your service active.”
  • Overdue escalation: “Your payment is overdue. Avoid service interruption. Pay now.”
  • Auto-pay enrollment: “Set up auto-pay and never miss a payment. Enroll now.”
  • Failed payment recovery: “Payment failed. Update your payment method to avoid disconnection.”

Automated dunning sequences

Build multi-step reminder flows triggered by billing events: pre-due (7 days, 3 days, 1 day), due date, post-due, grace period, and final disconnection warning. Each step escalates urgency and channel priority automatically.

Payment behavior segmentation

Segment subscribers by payment history: consistently on-time, occasionally late, chronically delinquent, or payment-failed. Deliver the right message intensity and tone to each group using audience segmentation.

Auto-pay enrollment campaigns

Identify subscribers who pay manually each month and promote auto-pay enrollment at the right moment. Convert late payers into auto-pay subscribers to eliminate future delinquency entirely.

Reduce delinquency and improve cash flow

Reduce delinquency and **improve cash flow**

Advanced capabilities for payment collection

Personalized payment messaging

Customize reminder copy based on amount owed, days past due, payment history, and plan type. A subscriber 1 day before due date gets a friendly nudge; a subscriber 15 days overdue gets an urgent disconnection warning.

Payment retry notifications

When an auto-pay charge fails, instantly notify the subscriber with a link to update their payment method. Recover failed payments before they become delinquent accounts.

Disconnection prevention campaigns

Launch targeted campaigns for accounts approaching disconnection. Offer payment plans, partial payment options, or grace period extensions to keep subscribers connected and reduce bad debt write-offs.
