Works with WP Simple Pay

Real MRR for a WP Simple Pay site.

WP Simple Pay creates Stripe subscriptions and one-time payments. SSA reads both with a read-only key, separates recurring from one-off, and shows the recurring side as MRR, churn and retention.

What WP Simple Pay shows you today

Payment forms and a list of payments in Stripe. Recurring revenue, cancellations and retention are not reported anywhere.

How SSA reads it

WP Simple Pay creates a Stripe subscription for each recurring payment form. SSA reads customers, subscriptions, charges and invoices from Stripe with a restricted key and matches each Stripe customer to their WordPress user by email.

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.
The Retention page cards: 90-day retention, average tenure, lifetime value.

WP Simple Pay questions

Do one-time payments count?

They show in Transactions and in revenue, apart from MRR, which only counts recurring subscriptions.

Does SSA see coupons?

It reports what Stripe charged, so a discounted subscription counts at the discounted amount.

Do I need WP Simple Pay Pro?

No. SSA reads Stripe, whichever WP Simple Pay version created the subscription.
