Whether a member submits a checkout form, signs up for a paid tier, or an admin needs to issue a refund, the workflow runs end-to-end without leaving Softr. This unlocks the patterns most Softr customers reach for first: paid member portals that charge on signup, client-facing checkout pages backed by a Softr form, internal admin tools for managing customers and payments, and finance dashboards that show charges and account balance in real time. ## Available Actions ### Customers #### Create customer Add a new customer to Stripe — typically from a Softr signup form, a checkout page, or a "new client" record action — capturing email, name, and any custom metadata you want to keep linked to the user. #### Get customer Look up a single Stripe customer by ID. Use this to surface a member's billing details inside their account page or in an admin record view. #### List customers Pull a list of customers from Stripe to power admin dashboards, member directories, or filtered views (for example, all customers created in the last 30 days). #### Update customer Keep Stripe in sync with your Softr app — update a customer's email, name, address, or metadata when the corresponding record changes in your data source. #### Delete customer Remove a customer from Stripe when they're deleted from your app or request account closure, keeping your billing data clean. ### Payment intents #### Create payment intent Start a new payment for a given amount and currency — the building block for charging members on signup, processing one-off purchases from a Softr form, or accepting payment on a custom checkout page. #### Confirm payment intent Confirm a payment intent to actually move the funds, completing the charge once the customer has provided their payment details. ### Charges #### Get charge Retrieve the details of a single charge by ID. Useful for displaying receipts, surfacing transaction details on a member's account page, or powering an admin "view payment" screen. #### List charges Fetch a list of charges from Stripe — by customer, by date range, or across the whole account — to feed transaction tables, revenue dashboards, or finance reports inside Softr. #### Update charge Update metadata or descriptions on an existing charge, for example to tag a payment with the related Softr record ID or attach internal notes. ### Coupons #### Create coupon Generate a new Stripe coupon — fixed amount or percentage off — directly from a Softr workflow. Perfect for spinning up promo codes for a campaign or rewarding specific user segments. #### List coupons Pull all available coupons from Stripe to display in a member portal, an admin discount manager, or a dropdown on your checkout form. ### Balance #### Get balance Fetch your current Stripe account balance, including available and pending funds, to power live finance dashboards for your team or owner-facing reports. ## Key Benefits * **No-code payments:** Take payments from your Softr app without writing backend code or stitching together a separate checkout tool. * **Paid member portals:** Charge users on signup, gate content behind a successful payment, and manage subscribers inside Softr. * **Real-time billing data:** Surface customers, charges, and account balance live inside your member views and admin dashboards. * **End-to-end workflows:** Tie payments to the rest of your app — trigger emails, update records, notify your team, and provision access in the same workflow. * **Customer data in sync:** Keep Stripe and your Softr database aligned automatically as users sign up, update their profile, or churn. ## Example Use Cases | Use Case | Description | | :------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Charge on signup** | When a new member signs up to your Softr app, create a Stripe customer and a payment intent to charge them immediately. | | **Form-based checkout** | Turn any Softr form into a checkout page — collect order details, create a payment intent, and confirm the charge in one workflow. | | **Admin customer manager** | Build an internal tool where your team can search Stripe customers, view their charges, and update their details without leaving Softr. | | **Live revenue dashboard** | Pull the current Stripe balance and a list of recent charges into a Softr dashboard so founders and ops teams can monitor revenue at a glance. | | **Targeted coupon distribution** | Generate coupons on the fly and email them to a specific user group — VIPs, churning members, or campaign signups — straight from a workflow. | | **Refund and receipt portal** | Let members look up their past charges from inside their account page, and let admins issue updates or annotate transactions internally. | ## How to Connect Softr with Stripe 1.
