Configurable Payment Retry dashboard

Configurable Payment Retry (CPR) Dashboard helps you view at-a-glance real-time status/health of collection actions specific to payment retry logic. The configurable Payment Retry dashboard is under the Administration > System Health section in the left navigation menu.

The CPR dashboard is automatically populated with data when Configurable Payment Retry is enabled to perform various retry strategies to improve your collections. For more information, see Configurable Payment Retry. The CPR Dashboard does not require any additional setup or access.

The CPR dashboard provides the following benefits:

  • View data related to payment retries in your Zuora tenant within the last three months.
  • Detect failures related to payment retry and troubleshoot accordingly.
  • View metrics along with raw data that is used to calculate the metrics.

For more information about the System Health feature, see Zuora System Health.
