Stripe gives you a ready-made checkout and subscription engine, so taking a payment is as simple as sharing a link or embedding a button. But the real magic happens when that payment kicks off everything else you normally do by hand—receipts, bookkeeping, customer notifications, even failed-card follow-ups. By connecting Stripe to Zapier and a few lightweight workflows we build for you, every sale instantly updates your books, pings the right teammates, and keeps customers in the loop without anyone lifting a finger.
