Four steps

  1. 1. Create your free account

    Sign up on saas-monitor.com with Google, GitHub or your email: it’s free during the public beta. You get a workspace, where you can invite your team later.

  2. 2. Connect Stripe with a read-only key

    Click Create a restricted key on Stripe: the Stripe Dashboard opens on its key form, with the right permissions selected. Check them, name the key and create it, then paste it in SaaS Monitor.

    The key is checked as you paste it: if a permission is missing, SaaS Monitor tells you which one.

  3. 3. Let it import your history

    SaaS Monitor imports your subscriptions, the last 12 months of payments and the customers of the last 7 days. Small accounts take a few seconds, large ones a few minutes, and the dashboard shows the progress.

  4. 4. Open your screen on the TV

    Your first screen is created as soon as Stripe is connected. Copy its link, open it in the TV’s browser, on a Raspberry Pi or a spare laptop, and click once to turn the sound on.

    To hear it, click Send a test celebration in the screen settings: every open copy of the screen plays a sample sale.

Which permissions, and why

Seven permissions that read, and one optional permission that writes. Everything else stays on None.
