Parse Payment Failure Receipts to JSON
Submit any failed payment receipt as a PDF or image. Extract error codes, amounts, and retry data as structured JSON — automatically.
Failed payments generate unstructured noise in your inbox
Every declined charge produces a receipt or notification email with critical data — error code, amount, customer, retry window — buried in unstructured text. Manually routing each one to your billing system is slow, error-prone, and does not scale.
Without structured extraction, you miss retry windows, misclassify failure reasons, and your churn analysis is based on incomplete data.
Failed payment emails contain unstructured text — no clean data for automation
Retry windows missed due to manual processing delays
Failure reason codes vary by platform and require custom parsing per provider
Churn analytics miss patterns because data is never properly extracted

Frequently asked questions
What is payment failure receipt parsing?
Payment failure receipt parsing is the automatic extraction of structured data — error codes, amounts, payment method, retry date — from failed payment receipts and transaction notification emails. Instead of reading unstructured text, your system receives clean JSON.
Which payment platforms are supported?
Parselyze works with any payment failure receipt saved as a PDF or image. This includes receipts from Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Braintree, Square, and any billing system that generates PDF receipts.
What fields are typically extracted from a failed payment receipt?
Common fields include: transaction ID, failure date and time, failure reason / error code, payment method, amount attempted, currency, customer email, merchant name, and retry scheduled date.
Can I extract data from payment failure emails as well as PDFs?
Yes. Parselyze processes PDF receipts and image-based receipts. For HTML email content, export or screenshot the email as a PDF or PNG and submit it to the API.
How do I integrate this into my billing workflow?
Use a webhook on your payment provider to capture failed payment events and forward the receipt to the Parselyze API. Combine with the async job feature to process receipts in the background and receive structured JSON via webhook callback.
