Bridging the Gap: Stripe Notifications
- sheaphillips 13y agoTotally wish I had this for a project I worked on recently. Stripe is bad-ass, but implementing the bag of standard emails to tell customers about payment "events" of various types was a PITA.
- mrmch 13y agoThanks! We've got several templates for each event, with all the right variables in place -- it should be dead-simple to get going :)
- zabeth24 13y agoI've really been needing something like this. Can't wait to dive in and automate my emails.
- senorprogrammer 13y agoThe "no code" aspect is bandied about a lot but it looks legit in this case. That's extremely attractive; sending common automated emails should really not need development team effort. Nice work!
- mrmch 13y agoYou literally connect Stripe to us, create a template, and then connect it with your ESP (SendGrid/Mailgun/Mandrill/etc). No code, I promise!
- zrail 13y agoThis looks really nice, and the zero-code aspect especially. A friend of mine just released a zero-code SaaS that specifically handles the dunning aspect called ChurnBuster[1] which is already saving customers on the order of thousands of dollars in LTV. I also talk about how to properly handle Stripe events in a Rails app in my ebook Mastering Modern Payments, if that's more the thing you're looking for.

- bliggy 13y agoSeems like a good tool. Looking forward to trying it out. There are a bunch of other integrations like shopify that would also be great!
- mrmch 13y agoThanks bliggs! We're looking at many different integrations, good to know what people think would be valuable.
- frankdenbow 13y agoPerfect timing, was going to add this in as we are losing people due to credit card failures so sending these emails is crucial. Definitely giving it a try
- mrmch 13y agoThat's awesome -- you can hit me up at matt@sendwithus.com with any feedback, I'd love to hear what you think. Also willing to give out HN-discounts, just ask :)
- cjaredrun 13y agoto code or not to code... this looks almost <i>too</i> enticing.
- mrmch 13y agoTry the integration, if you don't like it, you can always code it later ;)
- rfelix2121 13y agoAlso check out Stunning: https://bestunning.net https://bestunning.net We've been doing dunning for Stripe from the beginning, support a ton of email types and events, have an iPhone app with push notifications of payments and other important events, payment update pages for your customers to easily update billing info, and we can even send out emails before cards expire.
- mrmch 13y agoHey Richard! We're big fans of stunning -- I think we hit very different markets as well, as we're looking at companies that want to integrate payment and dunning emails into the same workflow as the rest of their transactional email. I think the number of apps you've put it is really amazing and you've got an awesome portfolio; keep kicking ass :)
- ajtaylor 13y agoAt $work (in Australia) we use EWay as our payment provider so the Stripe integration obviously won't help me. However, dunning emails would be very helpful to our head of sales in her qoal of meeting monthly sales targets. Is there a more generic sendwithus product I could use? The three events mentioned in the post would be perfect.
- mrmch 13y agoHey AJ, send me an email (matt@sendwithus.com) and I'll see what we can do -- we're always looking for more integrations!
