Is sending a reminders (via email or text) with an option to cancel or reschedule doesn't work?

Also, why wouldn't users use Stripe integration for the same? https://calendly.com/integration/stripe


All your Calendly workflows and reminders that you've set up will work as usual in addition to this.

Calendly Stripe integration can be used for collecting payments but this app makes it easy for you to refund anyone with just one click and keep track easily.

With Calendly, you have to do the manual work of logging into your Stripe, finding the client and so on.

Additionally, you can track your booking links here and know if a lead has opened the link, entered information, and check payment status etc..


Reminders with an option to cancel or reschedule can still cause last minute cancellations/reschedules won't they?


In that case, I recommend mentionbot.io.


interesting that it's the opposite take of OP, but not what I'm talking about

I'm talking about reaching out to my personal network to hear their thoughts on my question, not trying to find people talking about a specific brand. I am after personal, unbiased views from my curated pool


Believe it or not, I got shingles when I purchased my first SaaS. The seller ran the promotion to get customers, used churn recovery process to rerun failed cards to jack up the valuation, I was getting disputes every month costing $15 + refund and the churn was 9%-12%. I did take a loan as well but I had cash to back it up.

Luckly, the business had a good word of mouth referrals. I focused on good customer service with almost instant response time and constantly building new features based on customer's feedback. I was able to sustain it. I did rewrite the code but not until it passed $10K MRR and hired a developer overseas. Later I sold a portion of the equity to a friend and recovered my initial investment. I still own majority of the business.

Lately, I've seen some marketplace valuing businesses based on revenue.... I always, always calculate based on NET and see how long it will take to recoup your initial investment. I purchased my first SaaS at 3.25x on net. For me after factoring growth and churn, if I get my initial investment back in 3-5 years, I'll consider buying it. The world of technology is changing rapidly. Anything more than 5 years ROI is too long.


I think I've read your comment more than 10 times. The fact that you've gone through it, came out healthy gives me hope; gives us hope :)


Interesting project, but why not cut/edit segment via UI? Another option is to display the transcribed text, allow the users to delete the text (words or a sentence). Get the get cut out times based on the deleted text.


I have version 2 with a GUI i am just putting finishes touches on if that is helpful? Just using Tkinter so nothing earth shattering but then are able to turn some options on/off, select files etc easier.


Nice! do you use 3rd party API for TTS? What is the cost of using them?


Most of the time these testing card attacks are automated. If so, You can implement code and use Stripe element. Additionally, add logic if you get request from same IP in, let say 5 per within 1 minutes then block them for 15 minutes or so. Add Captcha and use CloudFlare to block IP ranges.


Unfortunately, the attacks are happening completely outside of my website. The attacker is generating a Stripe Checkout page using my public key - which I have rotated several times. Implementing a captcha on my end won't work and I have no control over blocking IP addresses.


Now more people know how to do the card testing.

There must be an option to allow stripe script only in specific domains and sub domains. All other domains should be blocked.


Doesn't work as that kind of info is in the http headers sent by the client..


Are you sure this is how it’s being done? My understanding of stripe checkout is that you need the secret key to create a checkout session.


Nice! Isn't automated content generation market little saturated?


Thank you. Although there are many AI-related app, I think there is still a big market for how to make it easier for users to interact with AI.


It would be cool, if you have a podcast option and implement text to speech (natural speech) and tap into podcast industry.... just a thought.


That's a good idea, let me think of how to integrate it, thank you.


Missing downpayment % or amount.


Pretty neat, I wonder if the AI can take predict the voice of the person in the picture and make it talk.


Nice! quick question. How do you handle returns and refunds? In case, if a wrong product is shipped or if it is damaged or buyer do not like it after receiving it?
