Lessons Learned Building a SaaS App for Stripe Users

As the article says, Stripe&#x27;s API docs are incredible. The article links directly to the API docs and the rest of their documentation is equally great[1]. There are a few weak spots, though, in particular around webhooks. I put together a little guide[2] a few months ago that describes what hooks fire, in what order, and under what conditions.<p>[1]: <a href="https://stripe.com/docs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;docs</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.petekeen.net/stripe-webhook-event-cheatsheet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.petekeen.net&#x2F;stripe-webhook-event-cheatsheet</a>

Hey Josh, congratulations on baremetrics.<p>I remember commenting on your Temper.io introduction on reddit a few months back. Both these solutions look very professional and have compelling business cases. I&#x27;d love to hear more about your process. Are you in front of a team? Do you outsource a lot? Or sleep little? Cheers!

All of the communication methods mentioned in the &#x27;tips&#x27; section have proved invaluable for me personally, and really set Stripe apart from many companies. They&#x27;re fantastically accessible. Need a quick response? Ask on the IRC chat. Think the API isn&#x27;t right? Have a discussion. Library missing something? Fork it and maybe submit a pull request.<p>The one thing that makes me consider switching is the lack of bank transfers in the UK (which isn&#x27;t a problem unique to Stripe).

I see baremetrics user testimonials are all from white men in their 30s.

What a great product idea, and executed very nicely. Congrats.
