Sherlock Calls
for Stripe
Every churned subscriber left a trail — payment events, subscription lapses, failed charges, and dispute records. Most support calls leave a parallel trail too. Sherlock reads both simultaneously, correlating Stripe data with your voice call logs to close the case on revenue leakage without switching tabs. Follow the money.

About Stripe
What is Stripe?
Stripe is the world's leading payments infrastructure platform, processing hundreds of billions of dollars annually for millions of businesses across 195+ countries. Its API-first architecture powers subscriptions, one-time charges, invoicing, disputes, and payout management — making it the authoritative source of revenue truth for SaaS, e-commerce, and marketplace companies. Stripe's Developers section provides secret API keys (prefixed sk_live_ for production and sk_test_ for test mode) used for server-side API access.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Stripe
How does Sherlock Calls connect to Stripe?
- Sherlock Calls connects to Stripe using your secret API key (sk_live_ for production, sk_test_ for sandbox) found in Stripe Dashboard > Developers > API Keys. Access is read-only — Sherlock never creates charges, modifies customers, or changes any Stripe data. Setup takes under 2 minutes.
Can Sherlock Calls correlate Stripe payment events with call data?
- Yes. Once Stripe and a voice provider (such as Twilio or ElevenLabs) are both connected, Sherlock can build investigations that combine call logs with payment history — for example, finding customers who churned after calling support or identifying callers with overdue invoices.
What Stripe data can Sherlock Calls access?
- Sherlock can access Stripe customers, subscriptions, charges, invoices, and account balance data. All data is queried in real time via the Stripe API — nothing is replicated or stored outside your Stripe account. Restricted keys should include read permissions on Customers, Subscriptions, Charges, and Invoices.
Does Sherlock Calls work with Stripe test mode?
- Yes. If you provide a sk_test_ key, Sherlock queries your Stripe test environment — useful for staging investigations and confirming the integration before connecting production data.
How is Sherlock different from the Stripe Dashboard for investigations?
- The Stripe Dashboard is optimized for individual payment records, not cross-system investigations. Sherlock lets you ask plain-English questions that combine Stripe payment data with call logs, CRM records, and other sources — delivering correlated, sourced answers in Slack without opening any dashboard.
