# What Happens After You Install Redux

After you install Redux through the Stripe App Store, a few things happen immediately behind the scenes.

### 1) We ingest your billing data

Redux pulls in your historical and current failed payment data. This gives us a full view of how your payments behave across decline codes, card types, issuers, and timing.

### **2) We establish your baseline recovery rate**

We calculate how much Stripe’s native logic is currently recovering for you. This baseline becomes the reference point for all future performance so you always know the incremental lift Redux creates.

### **3) We run a full recovery audit**

Our system analyzes your failure patterns, identifies the biggest sources of lost revenue, and maps out the highest leverage recovery opportunities.

### **4) We send you a detailed audit report**

You receive a clear summary of your baseline, what’s driving your failed payments, and what Redux will do to increase recovery. It also outlines expected lift based on your data.

### **5) You review and approve the plan**

Nothing starts automatically. You review the audit, confirm you want to move forward, and sign off. This ensures you are fully aligned before Redux begins active recovery.

### **6) Redux begins intelligent recovery**

As failed payments occur, Redux classifies the decline, times retries based on customer and issuer behavior, and begins recovering failed payments.

### **7) You track performance in your dashboard**

You’ll see recovered revenue, active recovery campaigns, baseline vs. Redux lift, and LTV boost all in one place.
