This app was created to satisfy a need -- push notifications, and a summary of our Stripe account, on my phone.

What could be more satisfying than hearing a nice cash register "cha-ching" every time we make a sale?

If you'd like one of the remaining promo codes for the app, send a tweet/DM to @ssdware. Feedback appreciated.

Thanks for your time, and yes, this app is powered by the Stripe Connect API.

edit: to redeem codes go to the app store, scroll down, hit redeem

One more reason to push stripe as a payment solution for clients / bosses. Good job.

Very cool and might come in handy for some people. We just use a combination of their webhooks + emails/SMS.

Been using PayPad for Stripe for notifications and stuff and love it. It's a little more mature so if you are looking for more features (like entering payments right from the device) check it out.

The interface is pleasant, but the icon could use a bit of work. Especially given how prominently displayed they are on iOS.
savrajsingh
agreed, new icon for the next update ;)

Why'd you choose to build it in jQuery Mobile instead of native code?
savrajsingh
The hope is that it would simplify and speed cross platform development.

Isn't all of this information available on the Stripe Dashboard?

What information do you store on your servers?

If anyone wants to DIY push notifications for Stripe payments, you can just make a gmail filter that forwards your stripe notifications to Boxcar.

That said, it probably took me 15 minutes to set up, so it's unlikely it's actually worth your time when an app will do it for $3.

Pushover works better for that kind of stuff, plus it is actively maintained unlike boxcar which seems abandoned.
