Keep Stripe and Informer updated automatically.
Today you download the Stripe reports and work out which payments, fees and refunds sat in today’s payout. With subscriptions the invoice date does not line up with the payment date either, so your periods never quite match. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Stripe lands in Informer by itself, in the shape Informer expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

to Informer automaticallyOnce a sale is settled it shows against the invoice in Informer, so your bank entries reconcile later.
What each side expects
Stripe and Informer do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Stripe
Stripe thinks in payments, refunds and payouts, each with its own id. Fees come off per transaction and subscriptions produce their own invoices, separate from when the money actually lands.
Informer
An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

Common questions
Can you connect Stripe to Informer?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Stripe and Informer, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Informer?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Informer?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Informer, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
Does this line up with my Stripe payouts, not just individual payments?
Both. Individual payments and the payout that bundles them come across, so the amount in your bank later matches what you sold.
What does connecting Stripe and Informer cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Stripe sync with Informer?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What happens to a return or refund in Informer?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Informer for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
Are the Stripe transaction fees included?
Yes. The fees Stripe deducts per transaction are handled separately, so your revenue and your payout no longer drift apart.
