The problem it solves

Every successful payment means someone has to log into QuickBooks and manually create a matching sales receipt, and check whether the customer already exists first. It's repetitive work that's easy to fall behind on, and mistakes throw off your books.

Who it fits

Small business owners and bookkeepers who take payments through Stripe.

How it works

  1. Triggers the moment a Stripe payment succeeds
  2. Looks up the customer's name and email from Stripe
  3. Checks whether that customer already exists in QuickBooks
  4. Creates a new customer record if they don't
  5. Creates a matching sales receipt in QuickBooks for the payment
