How do I get a phone notification when I receive a Stripe payment?
Listen for payment_intent.succeeded and POST to Lert. In your Stripe webhook, when a payment succeeds, send the amount to your Lert link and your phone buzzes โ even locked in your pocket. No account, no keys, no SDK on the Lert side.
Stripe already knows the instant a payment clears โ it fires a webhook event called payment_intent.succeeded. All that's missing is something to turn that event into a buzz on your phone, and that's Lert. You add one POST inside the handler you (or Stripe's quickstart) already have. Because your Lert link is the credential, there's no second key to manage.
Set it up in under 30 seconds
- Download the app. Open it once โ there's no account to create. Your private link is on screen.
- Copy your link. One tap copies
https://lert.dev/p/your-id. - Handle the Stripe event. In your webhook, match
payment_intent.succeededand POST the amount to your link.
The next real payment buzzes your phone with the dollar amount.
Example: a Stripe webhook in Node
app.post("/stripe-webhook", async (req, res) => { const event = req.body; if (event.type === "payment_intent.succeeded") { const pi = event.data.object; await fetch("https://lert.dev/p/your-id", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ title: "Payment received ๐ฐ", body: `$${(pi.amount / 100).toFixed(2)} ${pi.currency.toUpperCase()}`, tag: "stripe" }) }).catch(() => {}); } res.sendStatus(200); });
No auth token and no SDK for the notification โ just one fetch. Keep verifying Stripe's signature as you normally would; Lert sits entirely on the outgoing side. Not on Node? The same pattern works from Python or PHP.
Tip: point Stripe at your webhook in the Dashboard and subscribe only to payment_intent.succeeded (or checkout.session.completed for Checkout). Fewer event types means your phone only buzzes for money actually landing.
