Slicker

Slicker is a pattern recognition tool. Slicker unifies payment data across gateways and billing systems, adds a plain-English AI analyst with decline alerts, and recovers failed recurring payments through machine learning retries and targeted dunning emails. Recovery fees are tied to statistically proven results.

Slicker is an AI payments platform that sits across the payment providers and billing systems a company already uses. Rather than replacing a gateway or a subscription billing engine, it ingests one-time and recurring transaction data from each provider and market, harmonizes it, and presents everything in a single view. The result is a unified picture of authorization rates, declines and recurring payment health that a finance or payments team would otherwise have to assemble by hand from several dashboards. The product does three jobs. Analytics turns plain-English questions into reports and dashboards, so a user can ask which issuers show the lowest authorization rate and get a breakdown back. Proactive alerts fire when acceptance drops below its normal level for a given provider, payment method, card network or country. The AI analyst can also be reached from Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, not only from the Slicker dashboard. Smart retries then handle failed recurring charges: an ensemble of machine learning models reads network-level messages, gateway error codes and customer behavior signals, and decides whether to retry, when, and for how much, with heuristics covering issuer quirks, regional rules and public holidays. Multi-gateway selection is included. Dunning emails are deliberately restrained. Slicker reaches out only when customer action is the sole route to recovery, and each message is tailored to the failure reason, sequence stage and required action, using payment links that resolve to the merchant's own site. The evaluation layer is the differentiator: AABB testing, borrowed from clinical trial design, measures recovered dollars against the existing setup, and the vendor bills on results, so the fee is tied to proven outperformance. Slicker suits subscription businesses and merchants processing meaningful recurring volume across more than one provider. Teams with a single gateway and no involuntary churn problem will find little to do here. It is closest to revenue recovery add-ons from billing platforms, but broader in provider coverage and unusual in offering a statistical proof layer.
