+===== Other Notes =====
+==== Automatic retries on declined payments ====
+  * When a recurring payment is declined, PayPal automatically retries to charge the account 3 times, 5 days apart.
+  * If the outstanding balance is paid before a payment is retried, no retries occur.
+  * If the outstanding balance is not paid by the customer, but the transaction goes through successfully on a retry, SubscriptionBridge automatically updates the subscription, which becomes current. Notifications are sent out at that time.
