How Stripe and Slack records line up
Stripe and Slack share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Stripe charges can be read against what Slack recorded in the same hours.
What combined reporting uses from each
Combined reporting needs a shared identifier or a shared time grain.
From Stripe that means customer emails and any order ID your checkout writes into charge metadata. From Slack it means message timestamps.
Slack is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Stripe on its own
Stripe knows the payment, the amount and the customer's email. It has no record of the ad, search or email that brought the customer in.
Timing. Stripe records each charge, refund and failed payment as it happens. Payouts land on a schedule days later, so charge date and payout date differ.
Access. A restricted, read-only Stripe API key, or Stripe Connect.
Slack on its own
Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.
Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.
Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.
