You can configure the Dunning settings for all 3 types of payments that Chargebee supports - online(card, e-wallet or PayPal), direct debit and offline payments.'
Note: For Direct Debits
The Dunning settings allow you to configure the following settings:
The Dunning period - which is the duration for which Chargebee should retry payments for the customer.
The Dunning frequency - the number of days between each payment retry
The action to be performed on the invoice and the subscription after the Dunning retries are exhausted.
The automatic retry mode - you can configure either a custom frequency mode for the retries or Chargebee's Smart Dunning feature.

Chargebee customizes the payment retry frequency based on logic derived from the analysis of past transaction data/pattern to achieve a better success rate. Chargebee will retry upto 12 times to collect the payment. Along with this, you could also specific days/dates to retry and collect the payment from your customer.
