dunning emails
Dunning emails are automated messages sent to customers after failed payment attempts, designed to recover revenue by prompting payment method updates or retries.

Insufficient funds is the most common reason for Stripe payment failures, occurring when a cardholder's account lacks the balance needed to complete a transaction.
