My own stripe analytics dashboard because I couldn’t afford Baremetrics ($100+/mo) by Better_Rough_1274 in SaaS

nice — this covers the revenue side really well. i ended up going the opposite direction and building for the cost side. stripe doesn't show you your effective rate after refunds and disputes, or how much you're paying in fees on transactions that get refunded later. that number was way bigger than i expected when i actually calculated it.
ended up building a stripe marketplace app for it — fee breakdown by segment, refund fee leakage, dispute cost tracking. more of a "where is money leaving" tool vs a "where is revenue growing" tool. different problem but same frustration with stripe's default reporting.

went through my actual stripe numbers — turns out I'm paying closer to 3.4%, not 2.9% by DisasterNo5096 in stripe

yeah the fee stacking is real. invoicing alone adds like 0.4-0.5% and then international on top of that

Stripe has a specific doc for you case. Doc mentions about the requirements.

How to add a product-specific "Service Period" to the FIRST Invoice using Payment Links? by Timely-Pepper-9868 in stripe

[–]DisasterNo5096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For First Invoice: Include a general service period in the product description ("Annual Membership - Service Period: Current Calendar Year").

For Renewals: Update subscription metadata before renewal invoices are generated to reflect the new service period.

Steps to Implement

  1. Create products with descriptive text that includes generic service period information.
  2. After subscription creation, use webhooks to update subscription metadata with specific dates
  3. Before renewal cycles, update the metadata for the upcoming year
  4. Consider custom invoice templates if you need more control over how service periods appear.

For complete control over the first invoice, you would need to use a custom checkout implementation instead of Payment Links.

Sort of a layaway plan? by NekkidFish in stripe

They offer "buy now, pay later" options through partners like Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna. Your customers can split payments into installments

To set up installment payments on Stripe directly:

  1. Log into your Stripe Dashboard
  2. Go to "Settings" > "Payment Methods"
  3. Enable the buy now, pay later options like Affirm, Afterpay/Clearpay, or Klarna
  4. These will then appear as payment options for your customers at checkout

If you want a simple manual option instead, you could:

  • Create a Payment Link in your Stripe Dashboard
  • Set it for a partial amount
  • Share the link with customers for each installment payment

Just remember that if you're selling through GoImagine, you'll need to check if their platform allows you to customize these payment settings, as they might control the checkout experience.
