The story

Butter Payments is a subscription payment recovery platform (branded 'Recover') that helps merchants reduce involuntary churn by retrying failed payments and managing dunning workflows. The company integrates with major payment processors including Braintree to intercept failed transactions in real time and intelligently recover them. Its SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, and third-party penetration-testing posture suggests a focus on enterprise and healthcare subscription merchants.
