Just wanted to let everyone know that we submitted a 1.1 today, which includes better crash reporting and some adjustments to the way we aggregate your daily/monthly volumes.

Looks good! A few numbers are off for me, though.

Paid says I have a transfer today, but it's actually coming tomorrow according to the Stripe site (and my bank account :)

The monthly volume on the dashboard is also 6x my current volume. Is it estimating what my volume would be for the month based on the amount so far?

The monthly volume issue is a known bug -- something we missed while developing. We've submitted a 1.1 fix to the AppStore today that should resolve that.

As for the transfer, we gather that right from Stripe's API. Could just be some mislabeling on our side? Could you email me at: scherfryan(at) gmail?

I bought a copy. It looks nice, but I had to add it to the pile of Stripe "add-ons", app or otherwise, that don't do the ONE thing that I'm constantly trying to figure out manually (and I imagine other SaaS owners would, too): Based on CURRENT subscriptions, how much money can I expect to collect over the next X days? Stripe tells me about transfers that are scheduled, but I can't look past money that's already been…

This is actually an awesome idea -- almost like a forecast of the money you'll earn? Should be simple to do it programmatically. I'm going to add something to our feature list to explore this.

I'm already doing something like this for my personal money. Getting a forecast every couple of days.

Have been trying to come up with a way to turn this into a product for over a year now. A service for SaaS owners ... might not be a bad idea.

Why does Stripe only allow U.S. businesses?

Even if one is actually in the U.S., one might want to not base the company there for obvious tax reasons, so this makes their service (and by extension, this app) of very little use.

I think they're working on rolling out the platform to many more countries -- just haven't gotten there yet.

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. The churn rate on my app is so low that it would be pretty accurate. I'll try and build a ruby script this weekend.

There's a service called Dig my Data that will do some cool predictions and analytics from your Stripe data. Things like churn rate and revenue over time.

Just got it. For some reason it says "Today's Volume" and "This Month's Volume" is much, much higher than reality.

Yeah, a bug was exposed. We fixed it and submitted the fix to the AppStore today. The Stripe API is tricky, so we have to do some looping to get the data.
