Stripe Takes the Payment. What Happens After That Is Still Yours to Automate.

Stripe is the payment infrastructure a lot of online businesses already run on: checkout, saved cards, subscriptions, and payouts, all through one API. We don't set up your Stripe account or build your checkout flow. We build what's supposed to happen the moment Stripe says a payment cleared, the fulfillment, the accounting, the fraud response, whatever your business still does by hand once the money's actually in.

What we build on top of Stripe

Fulfillment triggered by the charge itself. The instant a Stripe payment succeeds, access gets provisioned, a project kicks off, an order gets routed to whoever fulfills it, all without a person opening the Stripe dashboard to check that it actually went through.

Subscription follow-up that goes further than Stripe's own retry logic. A failed renewal doesn't just get Stripe's built-in retry; it can update your CRM, flag the account for a person, or hold a feature until the payment clears, synced to however your business actually tracks customers, not just what Stripe tracks on its own.

Dispute response that doesn't start from zero. When a chargeback opens, an automation can pull the order record, the shipping confirmation, and the customer's message history into one place automatically, so whoever's responding to Stripe isn't assembling evidence from three different systems against a deadline.

Payout matching across more than one channel. If Stripe is only one of several ways customers pay you, a storefront, an emailed invoice, a sales call that ends in a payment link, matching each Stripe payout to the right order or invoice across every one of those channels, not just the one your bookkeeper happens to be looking at.

Where this tends to show up

Webhook-driven order handling

A successful charge event from Stripe kicks off whatever comes next in your business, provisioning, scheduling, a notification to the team that owns the order, without anyone watching the dashboard for it.

Subscription and dunning sync

Failed or upcoming renewals reflected in your CRM or billing records the moment Stripe knows about them, not whenever someone next happens to check.

What's still manual between Stripe and the rest of your business?

Tell us where a Stripe event still waits on a person before anything else happens, and we'll look at whether it needs to.

Already running Stripe and still doing the follow-up by hand?

Tell us what's supposed to happen the moment a Stripe payment clears in your business, and we'll map out what can run itself versus what still needs a person. Stripe's just this page's example. The same question applies to whatever your team does by hand after the money moves, anywhere else in the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stripe?+
A payment processing platform built around an API: it handles the mechanics of accepting a card or bank payment online, running checkout, and billing subscriptions, so a business can take payments without becoming its own payment processor. It's used most by businesses that want processing wired directly into their own website, app, or billing system rather than a plug-and-play checkout button alone.
What payment methods does Stripe support?+
Cards, major digital wallets, and a long list of bank-based and local payment methods that varies by country, with new ones added regularly. Which of those actually show up at checkout depends on how the business has Stripe configured; not every method is on by default.
How much does Stripe charge in fees?+
Stripe's standard pricing is a percentage of the transaction plus a small fixed fee, with different rates for card-present, online, and international payments. Exact numbers vary by country and payment type and change from time to time, so check Stripe's own pricing page for the current rate rather than trusting a number that might already be stale.
How do I test Stripe payments before going live?+
Stripe gives you a full test mode with its own API keys and a set of test card numbers that simulate successful charges, declines, and specific error cases. You can build and verify an entire payment flow without moving real money, then switch to live keys when you're ready to launch.
What's the difference between Stripe Checkout and the Payments API?+
Checkout is Stripe's prebuilt, hosted payment page: you redirect a customer to it and Stripe runs the whole flow. The Payments API (Elements, PaymentIntents) gives you the pieces to build your own checkout directly on your own page, more setup, more control. Most businesses start with Checkout and only move to the API-based approach once they need something Checkout doesn't support.
Does Stripe integrate with QuickBooks?+
Not through an official connector from Intuit, no. See our QuickBooks + Stripe integration guide for what actually works instead, and why a Stripe payout almost never matches an invoice amount on its own.
