Native 2-Way Sync Integration with Stripe: Intelligent Payment Reconciliation

How the Stripe + Monk Integration Powers AR Automation

Real-Time Invoice, Subscription & Customer Sync: Stripe invoices, subscriptions, and customers sync to Monk automatically with enterprise-grade precision.

Intelligent Payment Matching: When payments arrive via Stripe, Monk automatically matches them to the right invoices using multiple signals: payment intent, charge ID, checkout session, and other metadata. Handle partial payments, overpayments, and multi-invoice applications without manual intervention.

Auto-Pay for Recurring Revenue: If you send invoices via Monk, you can enable automatic charges for recurring invoices on all or some customers. Customers opt-in during checkout, and Monk charges their saved payment method on schedule. If their card or payment fails, we handle the failure gracefully with automatic notifications and professionally communicate to your customers.

What Makes Monk Different

Granular Sync Control: Choose exactly which Stripe customers sync to Monk: all customers, an allowlist, or all except an exclusion list. Control your data flow without all-or-nothing decisions.

High Fidelity Collections and Revenue Reporting: Every piece of your Stripe data is a first-class citizen in Monk, which means you have access to every Monk reporting for your Stripe data from the customer all the way to the invoice and line item level.

Intelligent Collections Built-In: Your Stripe payment data powers intelligent collections. Our agent automatically follows up on overdue invoices via email and Slack, personalizing outreach based on payment history. When customers pay via Stripe, collections stops automatically.

Seamless ERP Integration: Payments reconciled in Monk flow automatically to QuickBooks or NetSuite. Your finance team gets accurate AR data in the ERP without manual reconciliation spreadsheets.

Answers to Questions You May Have

What Stripe data syncs to Monk?
Customers, invoices, subscriptions, products, prices, payments, refunds, and balance transactions. We track everything needed for complete AR reconciliation.

How does payment matching work?
Monk uses multiple matching strategies: payment intent ID, charge ID, checkout session metadata, and invoice ID. If one method doesn't match, we try the next. Most payments match automatically.

Can I enable auto-pay for my customers?

Yes, for invoices that originate from Monk and paid via Stripe. Customers can opt-in during checkout. Monk securely stores their payment method and charges automatically on invoice due dates.

What happens if an auto-pay charge fails?

Monk disables auto-pay for that customer, sends them a failure notification with the reason, and tracks it for you. The invoice remains open for manual payment or collections.

How do I control which Stripe customers sync?

Monk supports multiple sync modes: all customers, allowlist only, or exclude specific customers. Change settings anytime and Monk adjusts sync automatically.
