Visualize your Stripe analytics in Metabase

Why use Stripe in a Startup

Stripe is an easy to integrate payment processing platform we use to accept and process payments online with our different startups. It is an unmissable tool to accept a variety of payment methods, such as credit and debit cards, as well as digital payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Monitor analytics in Stripe

Stripe also provides analytics and reporting tools that allow businesses to track and analyze their payment activity. These tools can help businesses understand their payment trends and make informed decisions about their operations, but Metabase offers more advanced visualization options and customization capabilities than the analytics tools provided by Stripe.

Stripe analytics vs Metabase

Stripe's analytics tools are primarily focused on providing businesses with insights into their payment activity, such as total sales, number of transactions, and average order value. While these tools do allow businesses to create some basic charts and graphs, they may not offer the same level of customization or advanced visualization options as a dedicated data visualization tool like Metabase.
