What Stripe + PingBell does together
PingBell connects to Stripe via Stripe Connect OAuth — no API keys to copy, no webhook URLs to configure. Subscribe to the events you care about (charge.succeeded, invoice.paid, customer.subscription.created, .updated, .deleted, checkout.session.completed, payment_intent.succeeded) and every one becomes a counter update, a team push notification, and a graph point.
For subscription businesses, PingBell does proper MRR math: new subscriptions add, upgrades add the delta, downgrades subtract, and cancellations subtract at end-of-period (not at cancel-notice). The counter reflects true MRR, not just running charges.
Use cases
- SaaS founders mounting live MRR on an office TV
- Subscription businesses (newsletters, memberships, productized services) tracking growth
- Agencies running Stripe-based invoicing for “cash landed” dashboards
- PE-backed roll-ups aggregating MRR across a portfolio of Stripe accounts
- Coaching and consulting running productized services through Stripe Payment Links
Setup
- In PingBell, create a counter and click Connect Source → Stripe.
- Authenticate via Stripe Connect OAuth (read-only).
- Pick events:
charge.succeededfor one-time revenue, or subscription events for MRR. - Pick a notification sound from the built-in library and write a short notification body.
- Install the TV and mobile apps, scan the QR on the TV to pair.
Why PingBell for Stripe users
PingBell is the broadcast layer for your Stripe revenue: live number on the TV, push on the phone, embed on the website. Connects in five minutes via Stripe Connect OAuth. Pairs naturally with whatever SaaS analytics tool you already use for cohort analysis, churn, and reconciliation — different jobs, both worth doing.
FAQ
Does it handle proration, upgrades, and downgrades correctly for MRR?
Yes. Subscription events process into true MRR delta using Stripe’s price objects and quantities.
What’s the security story?
Read-only OAuth access, and we drop PII from incoming webhook payloads — we never see card numbers or bank details. Full security notes.
Can I aggregate multiple Stripe accounts?
Yes. Connect each account; either combine into one counter or keep separate.
Does it work with Stripe Checkout, Payment Links, and custom integrations?
All of them. Any event Stripe fires via webhook is available.
