The challenge

Cafeyn, a Paris-based digital press service serving over two million users, ran on outdated subscription systems that limited growth and generated involuntary, technical churn. Failed payments and manual processes eroded operational efficiency.

The solution

Cafeyn migrated its subscription base to Chargebee, moving 400,000 subscriptions in under two months and adopting Chargebee's retention and recovery tooling to handle failed payments automatically.

Before Chargebee, we struggled with outdated systems that limited our growth potential and caused technical churn. Now, with Chargebee powering our subscription management, we've seen a significant reduction in manual tasks, fewer errors, and an overall boost in operational efficiency.
