Birdeye offers recurring payments to assist subscription-based businesses and others who need frequent payments to be automated. Businesses can collect a fixed amount on a recurring schedule and can configure reminders to go out before regular debits are scheduled to occur. 

Businesses can view notifications of successful, unsuccessful, and canceled payments. Birdeye offers the 'Retry' option if a transaction is unsuccessful. Within the inbox, the recurring payment appears as a payment request.
