Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently woocommerce doesn't do any re-running of failed subscriptions. is this just generating emails or actually retrying to charge?

@vvp242424 these were written to help test the new Failed Recurring Payment Retry system that is being introduced with Subscriptions v2.1.

Hi.
How do you apply this file? Adding this code in the functions.php or as a plugin or in the child theme?
Also in the developers guide https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/subscriptions/develop/failed-payment-retry/
shows the custom code " function eg_my_custom_retry_rules( $default_retry_class ) { "
the "$default_retry_class" has to be included? I dont see it in your code.
I'm trying to filter the default rules to remove the last 3 tries leaving only the first two at 12 hours no email and 24 hours sending email.
This is the way i tried but the payment was not being retried and no "Order Notes" were added to the order.

function pf_custom_retry_rules( $default_retry_class ) {
return array(
array(
'retry_after_interval' => DAY_IN_SECONDS / 2, // how long to wait before retrying
'email_template_customer' => '', // don't bother the customer yet
'email_template_admin' => 'WCS_Email_Payment_Retry',
'status_to_apply_to_order' => 'pending',
'status_to_apply_to_subscription' => 'on-hold',
),
array(
'retry_after_interval' => DAY_IN_SECONDS / 2,
'email_template_customer' => 'WCS_Email_Customer_Payment_Retry',
'email_template_admin' => 'WCS_Email_Payment_Retry',
'status_to_apply_to_order' => 'pending',
'status_to_apply_to_subscription' => 'on-hold',
),
);
}
add_filter( 'wcs_retry_rule_class', 'pf_custom_retry_rules' );

@frnkoc the example in the doc you referenced is incorrect. The correct filter hook is wcs_default_retry_rules. We'll get that fixed up.

Just to clarify your code snippet should look like this:

function pf_custom_retry_rules( $default_retry_class ) {
	return array(
		array(
			'retry_after_interval' => DAY_IN_SECONDS / 2, // how long to wait before retrying
			'email_template_customer' => '', // don't bother the customer yet
			'email_template_admin' => 'WCS_Email_Payment_Retry',
			'status_to_apply_to_order' => 'pending',
			'status_to_apply_to_subscription' => 'on-hold',
		),
		array(
			'retry_after_interval' => DAY_IN_SECONDS / 2,
			'email_template_customer' => 'WCS_Email_Customer_Payment_Retry',
			'email_template_admin' => 'WCS_Email_Payment_Retry',
			'status_to_apply_to_order' => 'pending',
			'status_to_apply_to_subscription' => 'on-hold',
		),
	);
}
add_filter( 'wcs_default_retry_rules', 'pf_custom_retry_rules' );

the "$default_retry_class" has to be included? I dont see it in your code.

In your case you don't necessarily need to include the parameter here, you only need to include it if you want to change parts without needing to completely rewrite the entire array of data.

Hello

Thank you for this code. I am using Stripe and i want to exclude SEPA from the retry process. Only apply the retry process to orders with Bank card?

Do you think a function in my functions.php can override native plugin behaviour?

Thank you
