The problem it solves

Every time a customer pays through Stripe, someone has to jump into QuickBooks and manually add them as a customer and write up a sales receipt. That double entry eats time and is an easy place for mistakes and mismatched records to creep in.

Who it fits

Small businesses that take payments through Stripe and keep their books in QuickBooks Online.

How it works

  1. A successful Stripe payment triggers the automation
  2. It looks up the customer's details in Stripe
  3. It checks QuickBooks to see if that customer already exists
  4. It creates the customer in QuickBooks if they're new, or uses the existing record
  5. It generates a matching sales receipt in QuickBooks with the payment details
What you get

QuickBooks receipts created the moment you're paid

Every successful Stripe payment creates the matching customer and sales receipt in QuickBooks automatically, keeping your books current.

What you get

A new or updated customer record and a sales receipt automatically created in QuickBooks Online.

What you need

A Stripe account and a QuickBooks Online account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
