Stripe notification sound
How to change the Stripe notification sound
Short answer: in your phone’s settings, not in Stripe. The Stripe Dashboard app notifies you of new payments, new customers, disputed payments, deposited transfers and a daily summary. The settings Stripe documents turn them on or off; how they sound is up to your phone.
Change it on your phone
First allow notifications from Stripe on your phone, as Stripe asks. Then:
On Android
- Open Settings, then Notifications › App notifications.
- Tap Stripe, then a category of its notifications.
- Choose the sound of that category.
Android lets you change the sound of each category of an app’s notifications. Menus vary from one phone maker to another.
In the Stripe app
- Tap your account’s icon, at the top left of any screen.
- Open Global settings › Notification settings.
- Turn notifications on or off for each of your accounts.
Stripe documents these switches, and no choice of sound.
Or give every sale a sound the whole room hears
A phone’s ping is easy to miss, and only you hear it. SaaS Monitor puts your Stripe revenue on a screen in the office and plays a sound for every payment, new customer and change of MRR, from one of three packs. Play them here, or download them as WAV files, free to use under the MIT license, which asks you to keep its notice with them.
And a voice that says what happened
After the sound, a screen can say the moment out loud, in English, French, German, Spanish or Portuguese. Ten voices, two per language, with recorded phrases; with a Gradium API key on the server, screens can also say the customer’s name, the amount or the plan.

Questions
Can I change the sound inside the Stripe app?
Stripe’s documentation of its Dashboard app describes switches to turn notifications on or off for each account, and no choice of sound. The sound comes from your phone’s notification settings.
Which Stripe events play a sound on SaaS Monitor?
Payments, new customers, MRR going up (new subscriptions, upgrades, reactivations) or down (downgrades, cancellations, subscriptions left unpaid), and milestones: five sounds per pack. For each kind of event, a screen chooses whether it plays its sound, says it out loud, shows a card or lists it in the feed.
Does SaaS Monitor replace the Stripe app?
No. It reads your Stripe account with a restricted key (one optional permission adds its own webhook) to show your revenue on a screen. Keep the Stripe app for refunds, payouts and everything else.
Do I need to install anything to hear the sounds?
No. Screens synthesize their sounds in the browser: open a screen’s link on a TV, a Raspberry Pi or a laptop, and click once to allow sound.
Can I use the WAV files elsewhere?
Yes. They are rendered from SaaS Monitor’s open-source code, under the MIT license, which asks you to keep its notice with them. Use them in your own alerts, bots or videos.
Hear it on a wall
The live demo runs a fictional SaaS where a sale lands every 20 seconds or so. Click once on the screen to turn the sound on.
