About

Stripe is the payments infrastructure platform used by businesses of all sizes to accept online payments, manage subscriptions, and run marketplaces. Connecting Stripe to Zentry brings payment processing fees, payout data, and refund costs into your unified expense view.

Stripe processing fees, dispute costs, and Stripe product subscription charges are automatically categorized as Zentry expenses, ensuring that the true cost of revenue collection is visible in budget reporting.

For SaaS businesses, Stripe MRR and ARR data from the Billing module complements Zentry spend data, enabling contribution margin analysis across revenue and cost dimensions in a single dashboard.

Requirements

A Stripe account in live mode. The integration uses a restricted Stripe API key with read access to Balance Transactions, Payouts, and Charges. Generate this key in Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API Keys.

Ensure your Stripe account currency matches your Zentry base currency, or configure currency conversion settings in Zentry before the first sync to avoid accounting discrepancies.

Getting Started

Create a restricted API key in Stripe with read-only access to financial data. Enter this key in Zentry Settings → Integrations → Stripe and validate the connection.

Select the data types to import (fees only, payouts, disputes) and set the historical import start date. Review the first imported batch and confirm that fee categorization and amounts match your Stripe Dashboard.
