Keep Stripe and Slack updated automatically.
Today you download the Stripe reports and work out which payments, fees and refunds sat in today’s payout. With subscriptions the invoice date does not line up with the payment date either, so your periods never quite match. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Stripe lands in Slack by itself, in the shape Slack expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.
What this connector takes off your hands

-
Today you only hear something came in when someone happens to open the other system. Whatever really matters gets pasted into a channel by hand, or not at all.

Notifications
to Slack automaticallyFrom this you get a short message in Slack in the channel you choose, one line on what happened, so you see it at once without logging in anywhere.
What each side expects
Stripe and Slack do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Stripe
Stripe thinks in payments, refunds and payouts, each with its own id. Fees come off per transaction and subscriptions produce their own invoices, separate from when the money actually lands.
Slack
Slack needs to know which channel a notification belongs in. A message is only useful when one line says what happened, so nobody has to click through to learn whether it is urgent.

Common questions
Can you connect Stripe to Slack?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Stripe and Slack, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Can I choose which events send me a Slack message?
Yes. You decide which events from Stripe produce a message, for instance a new order but not a stock change.
Which Slack channel do the notifications land in?
The channel you choose. You can also send different kinds of notification to different channels, so it does not become one big stream.
Does this line up with my Stripe payouts, not just individual payments?
Both. Individual payments and the payout that bundles them come across, so the amount in your bank later matches what you sold.
What does connecting Stripe and Slack cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Stripe sync with Slack?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Do I get one Slack message per event or a summary?
By default it is one short message per event, one line on what is happening. If you would rather have a digest, we settle that when setting it up.
Are the Stripe transaction fees included?
Yes. The fees Stripe deducts per transaction are handled separately, so your revenue and your payout no longer drift apart.
Missing something you need?
