Works with Stripe Payment Links

Recurring revenue from Payment Links, counted properly.

Recurring Payment Links create real Stripe subscriptions; one-time links create charges. SSA reads both and shows the recurring side as MRR, churn and retention, with one-time sales kept apart.

What Stripe Payment Links shows you today

Stripe's own dashboard shows payments and a subscriptions list, but nothing inside WordPress, and no cohort retention or churn by month.

How SSA reads it

Recurring Payment Links create Stripe subscriptions, which SSA reads directly. One-time links create charges, which show in Transactions. If a customer pays a one-time link at a regular interval, SSA detects the pattern, from the third charge onward, and counts it as a detected subscription.

What you get

The monthly recurring revenue card: the headline figure, the number of subscriptions behind it, the change against last month, and a sparkline.
Your real MRR, including revenue your billing plugin cannot see.
The filter bar on the Transactions report: a date range set to the last 12 months, then menus for status, type, plan, source, currency and payment method, with a group-by menu, a search box and an Export CSV link below.
Succeeded payments by default. Failed and refunded are one pick away in the status menu.
Rows in the Subscriptions list carrying the Detected badge.
Recurring revenue SSA found in plain charges.
