Run your Stripe invoices, refunds and subscriptions from WhatsApp
You've just opened the Stripe dashboard on your laptop to check whether a customer has paid, and you'd rather have done it from your phone. Now you can, on WhatsApp. Ask about a payment, an invoice or a subscription in plain words and the answer comes straight back.
404 actions in Stripe. 198 only look things up, and 206 create, update, send or delete. You connect with a one-click sign-in.
What you can ask Flann to do in Stripe
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right Stripe action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Find products in Stripe.”
“Find customers in Stripe.”
“Look up the refund in Stripe.”
“Create a refund in Stripe.”
“Create a product in Stripe.”
“Create a customer in Stripe.”
For owners who run Stripe from their phone
Flann is for the owner who takes payments, invoices and subscriptions through Stripe and wants to check and change them by messaging on WhatsApp, not by opening the dashboard.
You know the moments. A customer messages to ask if their payment went through. An invoice falls due while you're out. Someone wants a refund in the middle of a busy afternoon. Each one used to mean finding the laptop and logging in. With Flann you ask on WhatsApp instead, in the same app where the question arrived, and the answer from Stripe comes back in the chat.
Flann works with the records you already keep in Stripe: invoices, customers, subscriptions, products, coupons and credit notes. It handles refunds and payment links too. Connecting takes a one-click sign-in to your Stripe account. There's no API key to hunt down and nothing to build before you can start. Once you're signed in, you talk to Flann by text or by voice note.

Repetitive Stripe work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Payment queries from customers
Today
Customers message to ask whether their transfer arrived, and each question means logging in to Stripe to check. Then you reply, then you forget to mark it.
With Flann
“Did Layla’s transfer for the March invoice land in Stripe?”
It checks Stripe straight away and tells you whether the payment is in, when it arrived and what is still open.
What you stop doing: Checking a single payment no longer means a trip to the laptop.
Rescuing failed card payments
Today
You only notice when the money is missing from the account.
With Flann
“Which payments failed in Stripe this week, and who needs a nudge to update their card?”
Pulling the failed and declined charges from Stripe, Flann groups them by customer and shows the reason for each. It drafts a short, friendly note asking each customer to update their details.
What you stop doing: Failed payments stop slipping by unnoticed.
