How to Know When Your App Makes Money

The Habit You Want to Break

Refreshing Stripe every 30 minutes. Checking your dashboard before bed. Opening your phone to see if anyone paid while you slept.

There's a better way: let your app tell you.

The One-Line Version

The fastest path — add this to your payment success handler:

import { init } from "logit";
const logit = init({ token: process.env.LOGIT_API_KEY! });

// After payment succeeds
await logit.now("payments", {
  event: "App made money 💰",
  description: `${customerEmail} — $${(amountCents / 100).toFixed(2)}`,
  icon: "💰",
  notify: true,
});

That's it. You'll get a push notification within seconds of the payment.

With Stripe (full version)

case "checkout.session.completed": {
  const session = event.data.object;
  await logit.now("payments", {
    event: "App made money 💰",
    description: `${session.customer_email} — $${((session.amount_total ?? 0) / 100).toFixed(2)}`,
    icon: "💰",
    notify: true,
    tags: { currency: session.currency ?? "usd" },
    metadata: {
      sessionId: session.id,
      email: session.customer_email,
      amount: session.amount_total,
    },
  });
}

With Lemon Squeezy

if (event_name === "order_created") {
  await logit.now("payments", {
    event: "App made money 🍋",
    description: `${attrs.user_email} — $${(attrs.total / 100).toFixed(2)}`,
    icon: "🍋",
    notify: true,
  });
}

The feeling

First time you get this notification while you're out for a walk — that's when it clicks.
