This is the reporting interface I wish our product had. I tried out Sigma during the beta and was very impressed with it, especially the front-end. SQL is a bold choice but I think the right interface given the structure of Stripe data.

This would have to be worrying for companies like Baremetrics, ChartMogul etc.

Obviously it is not 100% the same - but the ability to quickly get MRR, ARR etc would solve many peoples main pain.

Without any doubts, Stripe is killing it. Great engineering, great design and great customer support. Shut up and take my money ;)

Perhaps a dumb question, but it's not completely obvious from the demo - is there an API for this?

No one ever learns about the perils of building on someone else's platform.

See: twitter 3rd party devs, Buffer, Facebook app devs, etc

Stripe isn't a payment processor; they are your financial back office as a platform.

good to see. I just wrote a simple script literally yesterday to calculate MRR for my business using their API. It was smooth but I always wondered why Stripe doesn't improve its out of the box reporting/analytics capabilities.

Not a dumb question at all! We do not currently have an API for Sigma. Although, its a great idea and good feedback for the Sigma team. Hope you find good use of its current incarnation. Thanks!

I am consistently impressed by the features Stripe puts out. They always seem well thought-out and implemented. Usually makes me wish I was still running an ecommerce site so I could actually use them!
