Reign, a payments company, is now offered to WooCommerce stores, giving subscription sellers more control over checkout and which company processes each payment.
Reign, a payments and checkout company, has partnered with WooCommerce to offer its tools to online store owners. WooCommerce is a popular platform for building web stores, and it powers more than four million of them. The pitch is simple: sellers keep their store where it is, but gain more control over how customers pay and who handles the money.
Reign for WooCommerce adds a checkout and payment layer on top of the store. WooCommerce stays the place where products, customers and orders are kept. According to the announcement, Reign adds these pieces:
The announcement leans on one number. Industry reports cited by Recurly attribute 20% to 40% of subscription cancellations to failed payments. That means a card that simply did not go through can cost a seller a customer who never meant to leave. The release also notes that subscription box growth is cooling, from 15.4% in 2025 to 12.6% in 2026, per SubSummit, so keeping customers matters more.
Many stores run on a single payment processor. The release warns that one account review can stop a brand's revenue overnight. It points to Visa, which in April 2026 lowered the fraud and dispute ratio that flags a U.S. merchant as excessive, from 2.2% to 1.5%. Using several processors is meant to reduce that exposure.
These figures come from Reign and its announcement, not from an independent test. Reign says its decline salvage recovers 13% or more of declined payments and that multi-processor routing adds 13% in revenue. It also cites 99.99% uptime and says thousands of subscription merchants doing more than $2 million a year have switched to it. Reign, formerly Phoenix Technologies, says it is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, a standard for handling card data.
The material does not give pricing, fees or a rollout date. It says Reign has arrived in the WooCommerce Marketplace, where store owners find add-ons, but gives no setup details. The tools are aimed at direct-response and subscription brands, so a small shop with simple sales may not need them. Anyone considering a switch should ask Reign about costs and check the claims against their own sales.
If failed card payments are costing you subscribers, ask Reign about pricing and test its claims against your own numbers before switching.
