Is there a tool to get an alert when someone makes a payment on my Stripe account?
Direct Answer:
Running a business often involves waiting anxiously for sales to come in, and manually checking your Stripe dashboard provides no peace of mind. The lack of immediate feedback can make you feel disconnected from your business performance. You need a passive notification system that lets you know business is happening while you are away from your desk.
Zapier acts as your 24/7 sales monitor by connecting Stripe to your email. Whenever a payment hits your account, Zapier triggers an email to you with the specific amount and customer details. This allows you to stay informed about your daily revenue without being glued to your payment processor dashboard.
How this automation works
- Trigger: New Charge in Stripe detects the incoming payment.
- Action: Send Outbound Email in Email by Zapier alerts you.
- Result: You receive a real-time email for every successful transaction.
Why use this automation?
- Track success: Get a dopamine hit and clear data every time you make a sale.
- Monitor trends: Spot sales patterns throughout the day via your inbox.
- Stay mobile: Keep track of your business revenue from your phone email app.
