Hey, Albert here.
Today, I want to share with you the launch of Bye42 , a free tool for Stripe developers that I have just launched on Product Hunt so if you upvote it would be HUGE for me 🤗.
TL;DR
If you are a developer, you likely have a Stripe Test account flooded with random products, payment links, subscriptions, and other trial runs common during integration development.
Log in > Fetch > Clean > Goodbye, see you next time.
PS: yes, the name comes from always testing the 4242 4242 4242 4242 cards 😅
Is there really a need for such a tool?
Absolutely. When integrating with Stripe, a lot of testing needs to be done, leading to a cluttered dashboard with test data. Stripe does not allow you to bulk delete these test entries, so you must go through them one by one or write custom code to clean them up.
Reading Stripe docs, you’ll notice you can't delete most of the things you test. That's why you need, in a specific order, to deactivate some of them and archive others to restore a visually appealing dashboard.

And that required writting specific code to do so. But not anymore.
Let me free you from that burden! 😉
Because after simply one-clicking the app, your dashboard goes from this
to this.
A note on the tech side
Everything has been built with a super small Next.JS app because the code and logic behind it are quite simple. I added Clerk for authentication to prevent bots from spamming the site with random API keys (even though the app validates them before submitting).
All the core logic is in one script that fetches everything in your Stripe test account and tries to delete it or archive/disable it if Stripe does not allow for a delete.
Why did I build this?
I want to give back to the community. This is such a small and silly tool, but hey, if it can save you 10 minutes while using it, it is a success for me.
Feel free to DM on X if you want to talk about anything specific.
See you soon!
