Stripe handles your payments, but its built-in dashboard only shows Stripe data. Knowi connects directly to the Stripe REST API — pulling charges, customers, subscriptions, invoices, payouts, and balance transactions automatically.
Full support for all Stripe objects including Payment Intents, Refunds, Balance Transactions, and custom endpoints. Cursor-based pagination is handled automatically — every record is fetched. See the setup guide.
Stripe tells you who paid. Shopify tells you what they bought. Your database tells you who they are. Most analytics tools only connect to one source at a time.
Knowi joins Stripe charges with Shopify orders, MongoDB user profiles, PostgreSQL product catalogs, Salesforce accounts, and 30+ other sources — all in a single query, no ETL pipelines or data warehousing. Learn how cross-source joins work.
Calculating MRR, churn, and LTV from raw Stripe data requires SQL expertise and API knowledge. Business users should not need to understand Stripe's data model to get revenue answers.
Knowi lets business users ask questions in plain English — "show me MRR trend by plan for the last 6 months" or "which customers have the highest lifetime value." The AI generates the query and returns instant visualizations.
Stripe's dashboard and tools like Baremetrics show basic metrics. Knowi gives you a full analytics platform.
Business users build their own payment dashboards and revenue reports. Drag-and-drop analytics, no SQL required. 40+ visualization types including funnels and cohorts.
Schedule automated revenue reports from Stripe data. Email PDF dashboards, Slack notifications for failed payments, and webhook triggers on churn conditions.
Calculate MRR, ARR, churn rate, LTV, ARPU, and expansion revenue from Stripe subscriptions and invoices. Cloud9QL transformations handle the math.
Go beyond dashboards. AI agents that understand your Stripe payment data, answer revenue questions in plain English, and take action automatically.
Ask "show me monthly revenue trend by plan" or "which customers churned last quarter" and get instant results from Stripe. The AI generates the query automatically.
Agents detect payment anomalies, identify revenue trends, flag at-risk subscriptions, and surface churn patterns you would miss in manual analysis.
Describe what you need: "create a revenue dashboard showing MRR by plan, churn rate, and top customers." The agent builds it automatically from your Stripe data.
Complex requests trigger multiple agents. "Analyze revenue by region, correlate with Shopify orders, and create a cohort dashboard" — handled automatically.
Search across all your payment dashboards, revenue widgets, and datasets by meaning — not just keywords. Find the analysis you need in seconds.
Schedule reports to Slack, Teams, or email with natural language. "Send the revenue dashboard to #finance every Monday at 9am."
