Pipedrive and Stripe, ready to switch on
A payment finds the person by email, moves their open deal to the stage you choose and writes the amount on it, while a failed card becomes an activity for whoever owns the deal. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment into the deal | Stripe to Pipedrive | Within seconds | Matched by the payer's email; the open deal moves to the stage you choose and the amount is written on it |
| New payer into a person | Stripe to Pipedrive | Within seconds | A customer with nothing in the CRM gets a person with name, email and the payment |
| Subscription started, changed or cancelled | Stripe to Pipedrive | Within seconds | Plan and status on the person, in fields we set up for you |
| Failed charge to the owner | Stripe to Pipedrive | Within seconds | A task on the person for whoever owns it, carrying the reason Stripe gives |
| Refund | Stripe to Pipedrive | Within seconds | Written on the deal and moved to the stage you keep for refunds, so the forecast stops counting it |
| Duplicate check | Stripe to Pipedrive | Every payment | Matched by email and the Stripe customer id, never a second person |

Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about five minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against Pipedrive's and Stripe's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
- Make one test payment, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a test payment in Stripe and watch it land on the person and move the deal. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.

Ways to connect Pipedrive and Stripe
Two ways people connect these two, and what each one asks of you.
Before you decide
Do refunds move the deal back?
A refund sends it to the stage you keep for refunds rather than to where it was before, because a refunded deal is not an open one. You pick that stage while connecting.
What if the payer is not in the CRM at all?
Then a person is created from what Stripe knows: name, email and the amount. Sales gets a real customer to work with instead of a line in a payout report.
What if the payer's email is on no deal at all?
We create the person from what Stripe knows and open a deal in the pipeline you chose. A new customer should not arrive as a line in a payout report nobody opens.
Anything to know about Pipedrive?
The API token belongs to your user, so deals and notes appear under your name unless you make a dedicated user for the integration.
Anything to know about Stripe?
A restricted key with read access can only read. It can't move money, and we never ask for your secret key.
What if mine is a bit different?
Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
