How to use your Stripe finance metrics?
If you run an online business, you will sooner or later come to the point where you have to have a way to accept payments. After all, businesses are about making money! It is not the sole reason, of course, but we can’t deny that it’s about money. So how to start accepting payments? Stripe is a great way to do it. It is a company operating in over 25 countries which allows individuals and businesses to accept online payments. Stripe also provides a great set of metrics that you can use for monitoring your billing and finance.
Below is an overview of key metrics and dashboard templates that can be built using free business performance dashboard from Octoboard.
Why do I use Stripe dashboard?
We have chosen to integrate with Stripe for several reasons. It is a service that takes security very seriously, which is of utmost importance when dealing with money. Its API is clean, well documented, and very easy to use. Stripe values data portability. It has great customer service. For all those reasons, Stripe has a lot of clients. And we at Octoboard understand that all those thousands of clients need their finance metrics at hand to be able to have all the up-to-date information they need. Which is exactly what we provide.
Octoboard dashboards for Stripe allow you to monitor revenue (recurring and by product), customer growth, pricing analysis, latest transactions and failure causes, fees and charges, and more. And you should definitely monitor them! Smart businesses use this information to adjust their strategy so that it leads them to success.

As you can see, there are different ways you can present your data. All the dashboards can be presented on a company monitor so that all the members of the team (or, in some cases, certain members of your team) can see finance metrics in real time to understand your goals, perhaps some weak points so as to make right decisions in future.
Final words
