Best Practices

Learn how successful founders organise and manage multiple Stripe accounts. These patterns come from teams running dozens of accounts on Karsilo.

Organise With Entities

Group related Stripe accounts into entities — one per brand, product line, or business unit. This gives you clean, segmented analytics and makes it easy to compare performance across your portfolio.

Create one entity per brand or product line

Name entities clearly so team members can navigate quickly

Assign every connected Stripe account to an entity

Use entities as the primary filter in your dashboard

Set Up Team Roles Early

Invite your team with the right permissions from day one. Viewers get read-only access, members can manage connections, and admins control billing and settings.

Give accountants viewer-level access for read-only reporting

Reserve admin and owner roles for founders and finance leads

Use member access for team leads who manage connections

Review permissions quarterly as roles change

Monitor Revenue Daily

Check your unified dashboard at least once a day. Karsilo consolidates balance and transaction data across all accounts so you can spot trends or issues before they become problems.

Glance at the revenue overview each morning

Watch for unusual dips in payment volume

Compare month-over-month MRR across entities

Export weekly summaries for your finance team

Keep Connections Healthy

Stripe OAuth tokens can expire if permissions change. Reconnect promptly when Karsilo flags a disconnected account to avoid gaps in your data.

Enable email notifications for disconnection alerts

Reconnect within 24 hours to minimise data gaps

Verify Stripe app permissions after changing account settings

Test connections after Stripe platform updates

Use the API for Automation

On Growth and Pro plans, the Karsilo API lets you pull data into your own tools. Build automated dashboards, pipe data to spreadsheets, or feed metrics into your internal reporting stack.

Generate a dedicated API key for each integration

Use pagination to fetch complete datasets

Cache responses client-side to stay within rate limits

Filter by accountId when you only need data from one connection

Secure Your Account

Enable two-factor authentication, use strong passwords, and manage active sessions. Karsilo encrypts all tokens at rest, but account security starts with you.

Enable 2FA on your Karsilo account immediately

Never share API keys in public repos or chat messages

Revoke old API keys when team members leave

Review active sessions periodically and sign out stale ones
