The problem it solves

When a sale comes through, you want to thank the customer right away and make sure your team knows to follow up, but doing that by hand for every purchase doesn't scale. Sales can slip by unnoticed until someone happens to check the payment dashboard.

Who it fits

Small businesses selling through Stripe Checkout who want fast customer follow-up.

How it works

  1. A customer completes a Stripe checkout payment
  2. Buyer name, amount, and product are pulled from the payment
  3. A personalized thank-you email is sent to the buyer
  4. A payment summary is posted to your Slack channel
What you get

Thank-you notes sent without you opening your inbox

Every Stripe payment triggers a personal thank-you email to the buyer and a quick note to your team.

What you get

A thank-you email sent to the customer and a payment alert posted to your team's Slack channel.

What you need

A Stripe account, a Gmail account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
