Daily Revenue Report from Stripe: Email & Slack

The best dashboard is the one you actually check. For most founders and operators, that’s their inbox or Slack — not a separate analytics tool they have to remember to log into.

This guide explains how to set up an automated daily revenue report from Stripe that lands in your inbox or Slack channel every morning with the numbers that matter.

What Should a Daily Revenue Report Include?

A useful daily report gives you a snapshot without requiring you to dig into a dashboard. The key metrics:

• Yesterday’s revenue — total charges collected the previous day
• Current MRR — your monthly recurring revenue as of now
• MRR change — percentage change compared to the start of the month
• Today’s projected revenue — expected charges based on subscription renewals due today
• Tomorrow’s projected revenue — what’s coming the next day
• Churn rate — current monthly churn percentage

This takes 10 seconds to scan and tells you if anything needs attention.

Why Stripe Doesn’t Send Daily Reports

Stripe sends transactional emails (payment confirmations, failed payment alerts) but doesn’t offer a daily summary report. You can export data manually or build a custom integration, but there’s no built-in “email me yesterday’s numbers every morning” feature.

Some founders set up Zapier workflows or custom scripts that pull from the Stripe API and format an email. This works but requires ongoing maintenance and doesn’t include computed metrics like MRR, churn, or projections.

Email vs. Slack: Which Delivery Channel?

Both have advantages:

• Email — arrives in your personal inbox, easy to read on mobile, doesn’t get buried in channels. Best for individual founders and solopreneurs.
• Slack — posts to a team channel so everyone sees it. Creates a searchable history of daily metrics. Best for teams that live in Slack and want shared visibility.

The ideal setup uses both: a personal email report for your morning scan, and a Slack post for team awareness.

Setting Up Automated Daily Reports

StripeReportsends daily revenue reports automatically at 7 AM in your timezone. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Connect Stripe — paste a read-only API key in your settings
2. Enable daily reports — toggle on email reports and set your preferred delivery time
3. Add Slack (optional) — click “Add to Slack” and pick a channel. One click, no webhook URLs to configure.

Each report includes yesterday’s revenue, current MRR with month-over-month change, today’s and tomorrow’s projections, and churn rate. The email version is branded with your business name and logo if you’ve set them in your account.

What the Report Looks Like

The email report features a clean, branded design with your key metrics in easy-to-scan cards. The Slack report uses Block Kit formatting with a header, metrics fields, and a link to your full dashboard. Both include the same data — just optimized for their respective platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize what’s in the daily report?

The standard report includes yesterday’s revenue, MRR, projections, and churn. These are the metrics most operators review daily. You can enable or disable the daily report from your settings page.

What time does the report arrive?

You choose the delivery time (default 7 AM) and timezone in your settings. The report is generated and sent at that time every day.

Can multiple team members receive the report?

Email reports go to the address on your account. For team visibility, use the Slack integration — it posts to a channel that your entire team can follow.
