Analytics & Payments
Stripe + Armbrain
Know how a client's revenue is trending without logging into their Stripe. Armbrain keeps one summary per closed month and nothing more detailed.
Totals only
What Armbrain takes from Stripe
Armbrain writes one summary for each closed calendar month.
- Gross revenue from successful charges, and how many payments there were.
- Refunds and net revenue.
- Paid invoices, count, and amount.
- Change from the month before.
It never stores single charges, invoices, customers, email addresses or card details. Stripe rows are turned into totals as they are read, then thrown away.
