Two way
Both systems stay the same. Every sync runs from the leading system into the other, then back.
- You pick whether WooCommerce or Stripe leads
- Changes on either side travel
- Nothing bounces back and forth
CRM Connector Platform
WooCommerce and Stripe, one customer list
Shop customers and Stripe customers stay the same in both systems, matched on email, so a buyer is never two customers in Stripe.
- Store approval and a Stripe key
- Either system can lead
- 7 day free trial
Customers, two way or one way
- Customers
At a glance. Customers stay the same on both sides. Below: which field matches which, and what every change does.
Your choice
Two way or one way
Keep both systems identical, or let one feed the other. You decide per record type.
One way
One system feeds the other. Pick WooCommerce or Stripe as the source; the other receives.
- Good for a migration, in either direction
- A read copy for a colleague or partner
- Switch a record type to two way later
Fine tune it:Everyone, customers only or leads onlyEvery hour up to every 3 days
Record by record
What travels, and what each change does
Pick a record type and the system where a change starts. On the left, which field matches which and when it travels; on the right, what that change does on the other side.

It happens in WooCommerce, then in Stripe
A new customer
- Looked for in Stripe on the exact email, as written and in lower case, and updated when found.
- Otherwise a new customer is created.
A guest checkout
A guest who placed a real order is sent like a customer. An abandoned checkout is not.
Company, phone or address changes
The same change is made to the Stripe customer on the next sync, where Stripe takes it.
The email changes
Not carried: the email is set when the customer is created.
- WooCommerce's welcome email for new customers is kept back by the free CRM Connector plugin. Without the plugin, customers are only created in the store when you switch on "Send WooCommerce's account email to new customers".
How a sync runs
One sync, step by step
What happens every time the integration runs, in the order it really happens. Pick which system leads and watch the records move.

Connections
CRM
Step 1 of 7
Both connections are checked
Credentials for WooCommerce and Stripe are checked and sign in tokens refreshed automatically. If a connection was removed on either side, the integration pauses and you get one message with a reconnect button.
Conflicts
When both sides changed the same record
- For each two way record type you choose whether WooCommerce or Stripe leads. The leading side always runs first in a sync.
- It only matters when the same record changed in both systems between two syncs. Every other change simply travels.
- A record is never moved backwards by a sync: a paid invoice is not reopened, a decided quote is not undecided.
Between two syncs
The city of the same customer is changed in both systems
Leading system
LeedsYorkTwo different values. Run the sync to see which one both systems end up with.

FAQ
Questions about WooCommerce and Stripe?
Every answer below is true for the app as it runs today. If something is not covered, ask us and we will answer in plain words.
Customers, both ways or one way in the direction you pick. Orders only travel into QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Zoho Books, FreeAgent and HubSpot, so they are not offered with Stripe.
No. Before anything is created in WooCommerce or Stripe, the platform looks for the same record first and updates that one instead. Records synced before stay linked.
The platform notices on the next sync, pauses the integration and sends you one message with a reconnect button. Reconnecting takes one step, and syncing picks up where it left off without creating anything twice.
From every hour up to every 3 days, depending on your plan: a store is never synced more often than hourly, to keep its checkout fast. Every plan includes a 7 day free trial.
