# How to Retry Failed Subscription Payments

Failed payments can occur in recurring billing, and retrying them can help you recover revenue and keep customers subscribed. To turn this on, go to **WooCommerce > Settings > Easy Subscriptions** and enable **Retry failed payments**.

The **Unpaid payment handling** section lets you decide what happens when a payment fails. With retries enabled, you can set the subscription status to **Suspended**. The subscription is then paused while the plugin keeps retrying the payment for the time period you define.

- **If the payment succeeds:** The subscription is reactivated automatically.
- **If the payment still fails:** The subscription is cancelled once the retry period ends.
