Why are my Skio subscription payments failing?
The Skio help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Skio explains that it does not handle payments itself, so the reason a renewal failed comes from your payment provider, not from Skio.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Skio help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
Skio explains that it does not handle payments itself, so the reason a renewal failed comes from your payment provider, not from Skio.
In the Skio help:
Skio doesn't process payments directly, so these errors originate from your payment provider.
Payment and billing errors, read 2026-11-12.A renewal can fail when the customer's card does not have enough money on it, and only the customer can fix that.
In the Skio help:
Card lacks funds, must be resolved by customer.
Payment and billing errors, read 2026-11-12.When a renewal needs the customer to verify it, the order is held until they do, so renewals can drop while customers have not yet responded.
In the Skio help:
The renewal will only proceed if the customer successfully completes the 3DS flow.

How do I check it myself?
Read the error message on each failed charge: it comes straight from your payment provider and says why the card was declined.
In the Skio help:
Each failed billing attempt displays the error code and message from your payment gateway.
Payment and billing errors, read 2026-11-12.A failed payment is not the end: it stays in recovery until it renews or the subscription is cancelled, so some of a dip can come back over the following days.
In the Skio help:
This window begins when a payment fails and ends when the subscription either successfully renews or is canceled.
Payment recovery, read 2026-11-12.
How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads your subscription orders from Skio each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It tells you when subscription orders go quiet or move outside their usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Skio, which feeds Wins. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Skio.
