Connect Stripe to ChatGPT or Claude

Know what's happening with your payments without living in the Stripe dashboard. Failed payments, disputes and cancellations reach you as they happen, and revenue, overdue invoices and tax totals arrive as reports on schedule. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running with your laptop closed.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Friday at 5pm, email me this week's Stripe revenue, the number of new customers and how many subscriptions were cancelled.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Stripe

Failed payments and disputes you hear about straight away, churn you can see the reasons for, and revenue, invoice and tax reports that turn up on their own. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Stripe, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

See how to build your own

Build your own

Build any Stripe automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Stripe should do 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

Every day at 8, check Stripe for failed payments from the last 24 hours and send me a list of customers with more than one failure this month.

When a Stripe payment over $1,000 succeeds, email me through Gmail with the customer, amount and product.

When a Stripe subscription is cancelled, add the customer, plan and monthly amount to my Churn sheet in Google Sheets and post it in #revenue on Slack.

Beyond chat

Have Stripe work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Stripe to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Stripe

You connect Stripe with a restricted API key that you create, and you decide which parts of your account it can read or change.

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.

Good to know

Stripe limits that affect automations

  • Stripe allows 100 requests per second in live mode by default, far more than these automations use.
  • A restricted key can't create webhook endpoints unless you grant that permission. Without it, automations check Stripe's events on a schedule instead of being pushed each one.
  • Secret sk_ keys also work, but they can do anything in your account, so a restricted key is the better choice.

FAQ

Questions about automating Stripe

What can ClickRuntime see in my Stripe account?
Only what your restricted key allows. With Read access it can see charges, invoices, customers, subscriptions, disputes and balance transactions. None of the automations here need write access.
Can it move money or issue refunds?
These automations only read your data and report on it. A key with read-only permissions can't create charges, refunds or payouts.
How fast will I hear about a failed payment or dispute?
Straight away when Stripe sends the event to the automation's webhook. Each event's signature is checked before anything is posted.
Do I need AI for Stripe automations?
No. Payment alerts, revenue reports, overdue invoices and tax summaries run without it. Sorting cancellation feedback into reasons uses the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan, so you don't need your own AI key.
Can it merge duplicate customers?
No. It finds customers that share an email and sends you the list with their IDs. Merging is done by you in Stripe.
Is this a Stripe connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Stripe data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Stripe while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Stripe event.
