Strapline

Explain the idea in a sentence or two

How to get payment and revenue data from Stripe into PostHog (and what to do with it once it is there, maybe this is part 2)

Why should we do it?

how it will it be useful or interesting for readers/viewers

Other revenue tutorial doesn’t cover Stripe at all, all first party events (and it’s a bit out of date).

How to use Stripe and PostHog isn’t reflected in the docs anywhere. Useful for calculating metrics like LTV and understanding customers, organizations, etc.

This would be super helpful to have! Would it be worth maybe considering (as a follow-on second piece) something that is more general/SEO-y around combining product and revenue analytics that sits outside the Tutorials?
