When a customer purchases one of your products or services Stripe adds their details within their system, but they don't offer a simple way to be notified of these events other than using their mobile app.
The easiest way to enable notifications is to download the Stripe Mobile App and enable notifications for payments, new customers etc.
Open the Stripe app on your mobile device and tap the settings icon at the top left of the screen, then follow the steps below.
Tap on the Bell icon at the top right corner of your store
Enable all notifications. The Stripe app will notify you as soon as any of these events occur.
Zapier is a paid platform that can be used to capture events from Stripe, and notify you in a number of different ways (email, Slack etc.). You can customise and control much more by using Zapier, but they charge a small monthly fee for their service.
Setting up Zapier is optional, if you prefer to use the mobile app, or manually monitor your Stripe account the steps below aren't necessary.
Create your Zapier account, then create a new 'Zap' and select/search for the Stripe app
When prompted to select a Stipe event, select 'New Charge'
Connect your Stripe account with Zapier if you haven't already done this. This step requires your Live 'Secret API Key'. The Secret API Key can be found in your Stripe account by navigating to Developer > API Keys > Standard Keys
Set the 'Include Failed Charges' field to 'true'
Perform a 'Test Trigger' to gather information from Stripe
If Zapier correctly finds 'charge' information continue to the next step
For the next event selection, choose 'Email by Zapier'
For the 'To' field, enter the email address you want payment notifications sent to, and then enter a relevant 'Subject' in the field below.
Select the body field, and enter a format similar to this:
