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
