I know it seems like a simple problem, but billing systems quickly turn into Eldridge horrors, even if you have the best intentions, and it’s always nicer to have someone else to maintain that for you.
Just FYI, I think you probably meant "eldritch horrors":
Just figured it would be useful to mention in case it was a genuine mondegreen.
If you want access to your data for other business purposes - stakeholder data, embedded dashboards, alerts and notifications about usage, etc - then you’ll want a system more purpose-built for usage data than Stripe.
Check out https://kable.io. Kable is purpose built as a data and billing solution, where your data is available for purposes ancillary to payments.
[Disclaimer: I am a Kable founder, but what you’re describing is precisely what we’re built for. If you’d like to chat, either about Kable or about your design in general to build this in-house, I’d be happy to.]
The data is going to still be available in Stripe to download later if you need the raw events (or just the summaries from the invoices).
