Connect Google Sheets to Stripe

Stripe holds your payments, but the sheet is where you track, reconcile and plan. Connecting Google Sheets and Stripe keeps a live record of sales, revenue, churn and tax in a spreadsheet you control, and lets a simple order sheet become real Stripe invoices.

Build your own

Build any Google Sheets and Stripe automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what should happen between Google Sheets and Stripe in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Write a row for each Stripe payment, and add a flag column when the amount is more than three times that customer's average order.

Every Monday, update a Customers tab with each Stripe customer's total spend, last payment date and whether their subscription is active.

Use cases

Why people connect Google Sheets and Stripe

How the two apps work together

  • Stripe webhooks send payment, refund and invoice events to a ClickRuntime trigger link instantly, and each is written as a row.
  • Scheduled runs query Stripe for summaries such as monthly revenue or payouts and write them to a sheet.
  • The sheet can be checked every few minutes for rows that should create Stripe invoices or customers.

  • Running sales ledger

    Small businesses want each payment in a sheet for bookkeeping. Every charge adds a row with date, customer, amount and fees.

  • Monthly revenue reporting

    Founders track MRR, churn and refunds in a sheet model. A scheduled run fills in each month's figures.

  • Create invoices from a sheet

    Freelancers list billable work in a sheet. Rows marked Ready become Stripe invoices sent to the client.

  • Reconcile payouts

    Bookkeepers match Stripe payouts to bank deposits. Each payout and its charges are written to a sheet tab.

More apps

Google Sheets, Stripe and other apps in one automation

An automation isn't limited to two apps. Add the next step in another app and it runs as part of the same automation.

Payments logged with Slack summary

Log every Stripe payment to our Sales sheet, and each evening post the day's total and number of orders in #revenue on Slack.

Monthly revenue email

On the 1st of each month, write last month's Stripe revenue, refunds and fees to the Monthly tab and email the summary through Gmail.

Payouts to sheet and QuickBooks

When a Stripe payout is paid, add it to our Payouts sheet and record a deposit in QuickBooks.

Setup

Connect Google Sheets and Stripe once

Every idea on this page uses the same two connections, so you set them up once. If one is missing, your assistant tells you and links to the right place.

Google Sheets

Spreadsheets

  1. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections and choose Google Sheets.
  2. Sign in with your Google account and allow access.
  3. Pick the spreadsheets the automation may use. It can't see any other file in your Drive.

Stripe

Payments

  1. In the Stripe Dashboard, open Developers, API keys, and choose Create restricted key.
  2. Set each resource to None, Read or Write. Most reports and alerts only need Read on things like Charges, Invoices, Customers, Subscriptions and Disputes.
  3. Create the key and copy the rk_live_ value straight away. Live restricted keys are shown only once. Use an rk_test_ key if you want to try things in a sandbox first.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the key as a secret for Stripe.

FAQ

Questions about connecting Google Sheets and Stripe

Which sheet does it write to?
The Google Sheet and tab you name when you set it up. You connect your Google account once in your ClickRuntime dashboard, and the automation adds rows to that sheet only.
Will editing the sheet break anything?
Rows are added at the bottom of the tab, so you can sort, filter, add formulas and charts beside them. Keep the column order the same, or tell your AI assistant when you change it.
Does it need a Stripe key that can change things?
Only for creating invoices from sheet orders. The logging and reporting automations work with a restricted read-only Stripe key.
Are amounts in the sheet in the right currency?
Each row includes its currency, and totals are kept separate per currency rather than mixed together, so the numbers match your Stripe balance.
Will a payment be logged twice if Stripe resends it?
No. Each automation remembers which Stripe events it has handled and skips repeats.
Can it record fees and net amounts?
Yes. The balance transaction for each charge gives fees and net, which can be written to columns.
Can I backfill past payments?
Yes. A one-time run can fetch past Stripe payments and write them to the sheet.
Does it handle refunds?
Yes. Refunds can be added as negative rows or update the original payment's row.
