Should I ask a churn survey before or after cancellation?

Before, as part of the cancel flow. Present 3–5 quick questions after they click 'cancel' but before the cancellation completes. Response rate is 70%+ pre-cancel versus 10–20% post-cancel email. Never block the cancel button — require responses and customers will abandon the survey.

What are the most common reasons customers churn?

Across SaaS: (1) price (30–40%), (2) missing features or poor product-market fit (20–30%), (3) lack of usage / didn't see value (15–25%), (4) switched to competitor (10–15%), and (5) support issues (5–10%). Our template captures all five plus 'business closed' and open-text 'other'.

How do I win back churned customers?

Route responses by reason: price-sensitive churners get a one-time discount offer, feature-missing churners get on a product team's radar, lack-of-usage churners get an onboarding re-engagement sequence. Typical win-back rate is 15–25% with targeted offers versus <5% for generic 'come back' emails.

Should the churn survey be anonymous?

No — churn surveys benefit from identity linkage so you can segment by plan, tenure, revenue, and acquisition channel. Make it clear the feedback is reviewed by the team, not used for spam. Most customers will answer honestly if you ask transparently.

Can I integrate with Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee?

Yes. Poper integrates with Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee, Paddle, and most major billing platforms. Fire the survey on cancellation webhook, capture the reason, and write it back to the customer record for finance and retention reporting.
