How do I see Dodo Payments revenue on my Mac?

Install Notch Metrics, connect Dodo Payments on the web with an API key, and place the revenue widget in the MacBook notch. Hover the camera housing and the figure is there.

Does Notch Metrics separate Dodo Payments subscriptions from one-time sales?

Yes, as two widgets. Total revenue counts every succeeded payment, and one-time sales counts only payments not tied to a subscription. Placing both shows whether a steady total is hiding movement underneath.

Does Notch Metrics support Dodo Payments test mode?

Yes. The connector asks which mode your API key belongs to, because Dodo Payments runs test and live on separate hosts and a test key against the live host fails to authenticate.

Is my Dodo Payments API key stored on my Mac?

No. It is encrypted on the server with a key unique to that one connection, bound to your account and the provider. The Notch Metrics server calls Dodo Payments and sends your Mac a normalised number.

What does Dodo Payments MRR count?

Active subscriptions, each recurring pre-tax amount normalised to a monthly amount using its payment frequency. It is a snapshot of the book right now rather than a total over the window.

Dodo Payments revenue in the notch

Notch Metrics11 October 20262 min read

Dodo Payments is a merchant of record for software, which means it takes the tax and compliance problem off your desk. The numbers still live in a dashboard, and the dashboard is still a tab.

How do you watch Dodo Payments revenue without a tab?

Notch Metrics puts it in the MacBook notch. Collapsed, a thin strip of figures. Hover the camera housing and it expands over whatever you were doing. Move the cursor away and it folds back to the shape it had.

What Dodo Payments reports

Number	What it is
MRR	Active subscriptions, normalised to a month
Total revenue	Every succeeded payment in the window
One-time sales	Payments not tied to a subscription
Active subscribers	Status `active` right now
Recent payments	The last ten succeeded payments

The split between total revenue and one-time sales is the pair worth placing. Recurring revenue is a book that carries into next month. A one-time sale is money that has to be earned again. A flat total can hide a collapse in one covered by a good week of the other.

Live and test mode

Dodo Payments runs test and live on separate hosts. The connector asks which mode your key belongs to, because a test key against the live host returns an authentication error rather than an empty account. What the Dodo Payments connector asks for.

Your API key is encrypted on the server with a key unique to that one connection, and bound to your account and the provider so a row copied elsewhere does not decrypt. The Mac app never holds it.

Alongside everything else

Revenue also comes from Stripe, Polar, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy and RevenueCat. Analytics from Plausible and PostHog. Search from Search Console. Every source.

Apple silicon, macOS 14 and later. Seven days with no card, then $9 a month or $49 a year with every connector included. Download Notch Metrics.
