Integration

StockFlow+Stripe

Stripe handles payment rails. Stockflow owns catalogue, costing, fulfilment and SA VAT workflows — we sync orders, we do not replace checkout.

Why connect StockFlow to Stripe?

Checkout stays on Stripe

Stripe processes cards and subscriptions. Stockflow reads order/payment events for stock decrement and reconciliation.

Subscription-aware sales

Recurring Stripe charges map to customer records and product entitlements inside Stockflow.

Cleaner reconciliation

Payment events attach to invoices so finance teams spend less time matching gateway exports to sales.

Works alongside SA gateways

Run Stripe for international or platform billing while Yoco or PayFast cover local checkout if needed.

How the Stripe integration works

  1. 01

    Keep Stripe on checkout

    No migration required — connect Stockflow as the back-office layer via read-only sales webhooks or native connector.

  2. 02

    Map products and customers

    Align Stripe products or prices with Stockflow catalogue items and customer accounts once.

  3. 03

    Automate stock and posting

    Successful charges sync read-only. Stock decrements and invoice status update without manual imports.

Stripe integration FAQ

Stripe vs PayFast for South Africa?

PayFast is often simpler for pure ZA e-commerce. Stripe suits international cards, platform billing or teams already standardised on Stripe.

Are webhooks required?

Yes for reliable automation. StockFlow listens for Stripe payment events to update sales status without manual refresh.

Can Stripe subscriptions bill wallet top-ups?

StockFlow wallet and subscription models are separate. Stripe can bill your customers while StockFlow meters product usage on-platform.
