The moment a payment lands.
PocketAlert turns Stripe webhooks into push notifications on your phone. Every successful charge, failed payment, and cancellation lands in under a second, amount and customer included. Know about a failed payment before your customer emails you.
Your revenue in real time
Every sale, failed charge, and cancellation reaches your phone as soon as your processor fires the webhook.
Works with any processor
Add your webhook URL as an endpoint in Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, or LemonSqueezy, then sales start coming through.
Amount & customer
Map the amount, customer email, and event type so the push reads like an actual sale.
Pick your events
Subscribe only to the events you want: successful charges, failed payments, and cancellations.
Catch failures & churn
Create a webhook for charge.failed and one for customer.subscription.deleted, so dunning and churn each ring on their own channel.
Real-time revenue
A cleared sale reaches you right away. No dashboard to refresh, no daily report to wait for.
Direct & secure
Each webhook URL is scoped and stays secret over HTTPS, so you can point Stripe straight at it.
Three steps to payment alerts
Create the webhook
Create a PocketAlert webhook with a GJSON template mapping the Stripe payload, then copy its receive URL.
Add a Stripe endpoint
Paste the receive URL into Stripe as an endpoint and subscribe to charge.succeeded, charge.failed, and the events you want.

Make a test payment. The charge lands on your phone with the amount and customer email.
Connect Stripe
1. Create a PocketAlert webhook
Define a name and a GJSON message template that maps the Stripe payload fields. This returns your inbound receive URL.
curl -X POST 'https://api.pocketalert.app/v1/webhooks' \
-H 'Token: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"name":"Stripe Payments","application_id":"qm47b9pzxzxg","message":"Payment %data.object.amount% %data.object.currency% from %data.object.billing_details.email%"}'The response contains a slug, giving you the receive URL https://p4a.me/wh/1234abcd. You can also create it on the Webhooks page.
2. Paste the receive URL into Stripe
In the Stripe Dashboard open Developers, then Webhooks, and click Add endpoint. Paste your PocketAlert receive URL as the endpoint URL and subscribe to events such as charge.succeeded, charge.failed, and customer.subscription.deleted.
3. Map the fields
Stripe POSTs its event JSON to your receive URL. The template renders against it: %data.object.amount% (in the smallest currency unit, e.g. cents), %data.object.currency%, and %data.object.billing_details.email%. Use %type% to label the event. The docs cover GJSON paths in full.
Questions, answered
Create a webhook in PocketAlert with a message template, then paste its receive URL into Stripe as an endpoint. Each Stripe event (charge.succeeded, charge.failed, customer.subscription.deleted) renders against your template and lands as a push.
Yes. Your GJSON template pulls fields straight from the Stripe payload — %data.object.amount% and %data.object.billing_details.email% — so the alert reads "New payment 4900 · [email protected]". Stripe amounts are in the smallest currency unit (cents).
Subscribe your Stripe endpoint to the events you want, such as charge.succeeded, charge.failed, and customer.subscription.deleted. Only those POST to your receive URL and reach your phone.
Stripe, PayPal, Paddle, LemonSqueezy, Chargebee, and any processor that sends webhooks will work. Point its endpoint at your PocketAlert receive URL and map its payload fields in the template.
Yes. Create one PocketAlert webhook per event type — one for charge.failed, one for customer.subscription.deleted — and give each its own application so dunning and churn ring on a channel you can tell apart.
Set a default level per webhook: keep routine sales at default, give the charge.failed webhook level high so it cuts through Focus on iPhone, and send churn events silent if you only want them on record. A critical level even breaks through Do Not Disturb on Android — useful when a failed payment means a production account just lost service.
Know about every sale right away.
Point your Stripe webhook at PocketAlert. Each cleared sale shows up on your phone with the amount.
