Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Stripe to Google Sheets? β–Ό

There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.

Is the connection between Stripe and Google Sheets secure? β–Ό

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Stripe security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? β–Ό

This is typically a one-way sync: Stripe β†’ Google Sheets. Changes in Google Sheets do not sync back to Stripe.

Will existing data in Stripe sync to Google Sheets? β–Ό

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.

Why does Stripe Dashboard shows $10,500 revenue this month, but the Sheet shows $10,485.? β–Ό

This is a known issue (~90% of users). Common cause: Refunds Not Deducted. Typical fix time: 40 minutes. Many teams solve this with Make's visual mapping tools or n8n for self-hosted control.

Can I sync custom fields? β–Ό

Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.
