Stripe revenue leak monitoring
Watch for Stripe billing drift after the first audit.
A one-time audit can find the first set of leaks. Monitoring is for the founder who wants recurring checks for the same billing drift: failed charges, dead trials, no-expiry coupons, duplicate customers, past-due subscriptions, and invoice mismatches.
Free teaser first. Read-only Stripe Connect or Stripe JSON export. No write access, no billing edits, and no paid decision before the free teaser.

Monitoring fit
What to check before paying for recurring scans.
Monitoring should not be the first step. The first step is a free teaser audit that proves whether Stripe has findings worth reviewing. Then recurring checks can focus on drift that keeps coming back.
01
Run the teaser
Use a Stripe export or read-only Connect to see the headline total and leak count.
02
Inspect the report
Review the ranked evidence, impact, severity, and next step for each finding.
03
Fix the obvious leaks
Handle failed charges, dead trials, permanent discounts, duplicates, past-due accounts, and invoice gaps.
04
Decide cadence
Use monitoring only if recurring checks would catch drift faster than manual review.
05
Keep access limited
Use read-only OAuth or an export path so monitoring does not need write access.
06
Review changes
Treat findings as review prompts, not automatic edits to Stripe.
What gets watched
Monitoring should track the same leak types the audit proves.
The value is not another dashboard. It is repeat checks for the billing failure modes that create quiet revenue loss.
trial
Dead trials
Trials that ended without paid invoices or successful charges afterward.
coupon
No-expiry coupons
Discounts that keep reducing recurring revenue after the original reason is gone.
customer
Duplicate customers
Repeated customer records that split invoices, subscriptions, and billing history.
past_due
Past-due subscriptions
Subscriptions that still exist while billing has stopped or is overdue.
invoice
Mismatched invoices
Mixed currencies and proration credits that make invoices need review.

FAQ
Common monitoring questions
Q
Should I start with monitoring?
No. Start with the sample report and a free teaser audit. Monitoring only makes sense after the first report shows findings worth reviewing.
Q
Can monitoring change Stripe?
No. LeakCheck is built around read-only access or export uploads. Findings are review prompts, not automatic Stripe edits.
Q
What does monitoring cost?
The first paid audit is $49. Monitoring starts with a 30-day trial after that report, then continues at $19/mo.
Q
What data is needed?
The audit path uses Stripe billing objects such as customers, subscriptions, charges, invoices, prices, products, coupons, and discounts when present.
Q
What gets checked?
LeakCheck checks failed charges, stale trials, no-expiry coupons, duplicate customers, past-due subscriptions, and mismatched invoices.
