Absolutely brilliant to show case your own financial data. Also very ballsy IMHO.

Very bold move Josh. I love this idea! This is a great example of how teaching and sharing can help everyone involved. Baremetrics gets more visibility and promotion (as well is demoed to thousands of people) and visitors get to learn more about what metrics they should be tracking as well as what is a good range for their own numbers.

Have you considered allowing other Baremetrics customers to turn on public access to their own data?

I've had a couple of people ask if it was possible. Technically would be easy to do, but seems like an edge case that very few would actually use.

Fear is also people would be scared of accidentally turning it on so it'd dissuade people from signing up.

May try it in the future, though.

Nice idea.

I have a few questions.

1. Do you have plans to integrate other payment gateways so that a business can get a summary view?

2. What does this provide over and above what Stripe provides? I'm sure their is more, but a quick summary would be helpful.

Anyway, nice product.

Thanks!

1) Not currently. At this point no other payment gateways provide the data that Stripe offers without a additional dev work required on the user's part to integrate. Braintree might work, but it's hard to say. Stripe does an amazing job supporting developers, plus they're growing like wildfire, so I'm happy just sticking to Stripe at the moment.

2) Stripe provides none of this. They have the data obviously, but just don't surface any of it in any meaningful ways. They show a few "raw" metrics that don't take in to account things like refunds or cancellations, so the few data bits they do provide are largely inaccurate.
