Example: Stripe Charge → Xero Payment + Fee Tracking
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Customer pays invoice via Stripe (charge.succeeded)
2. Integration receives webhook with charge details
3. Fetch balance_transaction for fee breakdown:
- Gross: $110.00 (charge amount)
- Fee: $2.23 (1.75% + $0.30)
- Net: $107.77 (deposited amount)
4. Match charge to source (Shopify order, invoice, etc.)
5. Create payment against invoice in Xero
6. Create expense entry for Stripe fee
7. When payout settles (payout.paid), match to bank deposit
8. Bank reconciliation shows matched payout amountCommon Field Mappings
| Source Field | Target Field | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| charge.id | Payment.Reference | Stripe charge ID (ch_...) for traceability |
| charge.amount | Payment.Amount | Amount in cents - divide by 100 |
| charge.currency | Payment.CurrencyCode | ISO currency code (aud, usd, etc.) |
| charge.customer | Contact lookup | Stripe customer ID → email → Contact |
| balance_transaction.fee | Expense.Amount | Stripe fee in cents |
| balance_transaction.net | Expected deposit | Amount hitting bank account |
| charge.metadata | Custom fields | Pass invoice ID, order ID for matching |
| invoice.id | Invoice.Reference | For subscription invoices |
| subscription.id | Custom property | Track subscription for MRR reporting |
| payout.arrival_date | Bank transaction date | When funds reach bank account |

}AI & Custom Integration Examples
Beyond system-to-system connections, we build custom AI solutions and interfaces powered by Stripe data.
AI Revenue Analytics Dashboard
Build a real-time dashboard that pulls Stripe data and presents revenue insights in natural language. "Revenue is up 15% this month, driven by enterprise plan upgrades." "Churn risk alert: 3 customers have failed payments pending." Combines Stripe metrics with CRM data for complete revenue intelligence.
Smart Dunning Automation
AI-powered failed payment recovery that goes beyond simple retries. Analyzes customer patterns to determine optimal retry timing, personalizes recovery emails based on customer segment and history, and escalates to human intervention for high-value accounts. Tracks recovery rates and optimizes strategies.
Subscription Health Monitor
AI monitors subscription metrics - MRR changes, churn indicators, expansion opportunities. Alerts when customers show churn signals (reduced usage, failed payments, support tickets). Identifies upsell opportunities based on usage patterns. Powers customer success team prioritization.
Automated Financial Reporting
AI generates financial reports by combining Stripe data with accounting records. Monthly revenue reports, fee analysis, cohort analysis, and cash flow forecasts - automatically compiled and distributed. Includes variance explanations ("Fees increased due to higher international card volume").
Fraud Detection Assistant
AI analyzes payment patterns to identify potential fraud beyond Stripe Radar. Flags unusual patterns for your specific business context. Alerts team to suspicious transactions before disputes occur. Learns from your historical dispute data to improve detection.
Customer Payment Chatbot
AI-powered chatbot that helps customers with payment issues. "Update my card," "Why did my payment fail?" "Generate an invoice for my records." Securely handles payment method updates and billing questions, reducing support ticket volume.
