Clientdesk for Small Business Owners: Revenue analytics and a customer portal on your own Stripe data

Revenue analytics and a customer portal on your own Stripe data.

Small businesses get nickel-and-dimed by per-user pricing on helpdesks, forms, signatures and scheduling. One-time software makes the toolset a capital expense instead of a creeping payroll line.

The tool this job usually means renting is ChartMogul / Baremetrics, at $50-100+/mo โ€” roughly $600 a year, every year. Clientdesk does the job for a one-time $39 โ€” running on infrastructure you control.

Why it fits how small business owners work

๐Ÿ“Š Revenue dashboard

Point /webhooks/stripe at your account and customers, subscriptions and invoices cache locally, with optional signature verification and no Stripe SDK or API polling.

STEP 02

Deploy or run desktop

Docker-compose onto a $5 VPS to serve portals publicly, or run the desktop build locally.

STEP 03

Point Stripe at it

Add a webhook endpoint for the customer, subscription and invoice events, paste in the signing secret, and your metrics start building.
