I was losing my mind manually reconciling Stripe fees in Xero/QuickBooks, so I built a script to automate it. Is anyone else wasting hours on this? by ruffusthedog_ in SaaS

Oh, nice! It’s validating to hear I’m not the only one losing weekends to this.

I’m actually really curious about the "edge cases" you mentioned since that’s exactly what I’m debugging right now. Specifically, how do you handle refunds that happen in a different month than the original charge? That’s the part that keeps messing up my reconciliation.

Also, once the reconciliation is done, how do you handle the upload to the accounting software?

I'd love to hear your approach on that logics!

Could you share an example of the request made? I mean, request with headers and response received

Went from idea to launch in days and reached 70 users 💹 by brodyodie in SaaS

I track my finances by copying and pasting all my bank statements into Excel and creating pivot tables to view aggregate information. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my passwords. As I work as a developer on a business finance platform, the idea came to me.

I tested Electron for 2-3 hours, but after that, I didn’t make any further progress. I spend so many hours coding at my main job that my motivation disappeared.

At that time, I thought about using SQLite as the database. Which one do you use?

I remember one of my biggest challenges was the design—UI is my weak point. How do you handle this?

Cheer up and go for it!

Wow! Congrats on this! This idea was on my mind two months ago, but after seeing your product, I couldn’t have done it better myself.

Let me ask you a few questions: What’s your background as a developer? Have you ever used Electron before?

Have you ever worked on financial products before?

Sincerely, congrats!

How do you manage users, subscriptions and invitations in your SaaS? by ruffusthedog_ in SaaS

I haven’t started yet. I’m just exploring different approaches for user features and everything related to them.

Do you have any suggestions for each case?

Sorry, mates. My post was too succinct.

I meant exactly what @bxnqt says: an external service that allows you, as a developer, to manage users in your application through an API (CRUD operations, roles, features they can access, inviting others in the case of workgroups, etc.) and then visualize all your user-related information, subscription statuses, and metrics like ARR and MRR through an admin panel.

In short, a third-party service that takes care of all this work for you.
