Stripe owns Hackernews. They consistently get their new product offerings to the front page with huge points. Yes they're loved by the Hackernews community (and rightly so) but I wonder if their ability to get their stuff to the front is less to do with it's relevance and more to do with their army of hackernews accounts with tons of karma. Just a thought.
I'm sorry, but I don't grok the utility of this. Can someone "explain this like I am five"? We are a fairly long-running Stripe customer, and we mirror all transaction data, with the exception of actual card info, into our internal dbms. I am presuming nearly all Stripe customers do this as well, considering how easy API integration is. So what is the utility of this service versus querying internal data - particular…
> I am presuming nearly all Stripe customers do this as well A lot of customers don't in fact do that. I've been working a bunch on dj-stripe ( https://github.com/kavdev/dj-stripe ) and trying to make it work exactly like that, but before that at the very least it's pretty safe to assume that most Django apps using Stripe only had a fraction of the data you can pull from Stripe. It's also only a model you really need…
Because the payment process alone just doesn't include enough data to create relevant analysis for us.

Always assume good faith... It makes everyone happier, including you.

A friend of mine is director of business for https://www.franschocolates.com/ , which is a great local Seattle family business that has grown up to be big thanks to a great product (Seriously good chocolate!). They moved to Stripe for payments years ago, and it's helped them out a lot with simpler integration and more data. Sigma looks great for them. They're not a big outfit, they don't have a dedicated engineering3…
This is a great-looking product.

Err... we push seven figures a year through Stripe, and we don't do this.
I get excited whenever Stripe releases a new product because their demo pages are bar-none the best ever made. The attention to design is very, very nice.

Imagine if you were a small and/or non-technical shop who used Stripe for your payments. This offers a window to produce good looking reports about the business without needing to keep track of that information in parallel outside of Stripe.
They have all sort of pre-run queries for MRR, Payment Methods, etc. which offers _huge_ benefit to those people who can get some great insights for no added work.
