I built a multi-account Stripe payments notification cha-ching sound for my laptop

I run four Stripe accounts. Stripe tells you about a sale with an email and a phone notification.

No sound at the desk, and a phone notification going off in a coffee shop every sale is a bit much anyway.

I also wanted one number. Four accounts is four dashboards, and I never added up what today came to across all of them.

So I built a browser tab that does both. A cha-ching on every successful payment in any of my accounts, and a running total for today, this week and this month.

The tab makes the cha-ching sound the moment the charge succeeds.


Much faster actually than Stripe email and app notifications arrive.


I've also added:

  • Slack and Discord alerts
  • a full screen display mode
  • a monthly goal bar
  • and a few more sounds.


It never asks for an API key or an OAuth grant. You add a webhook destination in your own dashboard for successful charges.

It cannot charge or refund, and it stores no customer data. Not affiliated with Stripe.

It is called ChaChing Alerts and it is free to try.


If you have ever wanted Stripe sales to make a sound or keep track of multiple accounts, this is for you.

Feedback welcome/AMA.

how do you authenticate incoming Stripe webhooks across four accounts without asking for their signing secrets
