North Metric

    What we read,what we change.

    The free churn report reads Stripe and changes nothing. After that, every change is one you approved.

    IN SHORT

    North Metric reads Stripe through a Stripe App, never card numbers.

    Customers, subscriptions, prices, discounts, invoices, charges and payment method metadata. The free churn report changes nothing. Stripe lists read and write permissions together at install. Changes stay off until an Owner turns on actions, and every change is approved or set by a rule.

    01WHAT WE READ

    What the appcan read.

    Stripe lists read and write permissions together at install, each with a plain reason. These are the reads, and the free churn report uses nothing more.

    WHAT WE READWHY
    Customers and subscriptionsWho pays, on which plan, and any cancel scheduled
    Prices and discountsOld prices and forever discounts, in $/mo
    InvoicesMRR, usage MRR and every Kept MRR line
    ChargesFailed payments and the decline code behind each
    Payment method metadataCard brand and expiry, never the card number
    02WHAT WE CHANGE

    What we can change,and when.

    Nothing until an Owner turns on actions in Settings, on the trial or the plan. Then only what you approve, or what a rule you set allows.

    01Off until an Owner turns actions onStripe lists the write permissions at install. They stay unused until an Owner turns on actions in Settings, and actions turn off at any time.
    02SubscriptionsPlan changes, pauses, undoing or scheduling a cancel when your customer asks, and restarting a customer who comes back.
    03Discounts, invoices and cardsAdding or ending a discount within your limits, paying an open invoice, setting a new default card.
    01Customer type in metadataWritten to Stripe customer metadata, removed when the plan ends or the account is deleted.
    02Approved or rule-bound, alwaysNothing changes without your approval or a rule you set, and locked moves always ask. See approvals and rules.
    03Keep actions off and keep workingWith actions off, each move becomes a short checklist to do in Stripe, and the next sync confirms it.
    03CARD DATA

    Card data neverreaches us.

    Cards are typed only into Stripe’s own card form and go straight to Stripe, which holds them.

    When a customer updates a card from a North Metric note, the page uses Stripe’s card form.

    3D Secure runs on the page. These pages carry no third-party scripts or tracking.

    Each link is unique and signed.

    It opens only that customer’s page and expires after one use or 30 days, or 60 for a win-back restart.

    06FAQ

    Questions aboutsecurity.

    Stripe gives each app one set of permissions, so the install screen lists everything the paid plan can use. The free churn report only reads. Write permissions stay unused until an Owner turns on actions in Settings. Actions aren't available on the free plan.
