Access the Contacts API by obtaining a valid GHL API access token and including the token in the Authorization header. Use the defined scope: contacts.readonly for read operations.
Authorize data exchange with Stripe using your secret key and ensure webhooks are configured to relay events back to the integration layer.

Automate data flow between Stripe Legacy and Contacts API with no code using pre-built triggers, actions, and webhooks.
Reduce manual data entry and errors by keeping records in sync in real time.
Set up and test quickly, with visual editors and error handling built in.
This glossary defines common terms and the core processes used in the Stripe Legacy to Contacts API integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
Methods used to verify and authorize access to APIs (such as API keys or OAuth).
A URL that receives event notifications from a service in real time.
The data carried by an API request or response.
Automatically create a Contacts note when a Stripe payment succeeds to keep account history in sync.
Update contact tags when a customer’s Stripe subscription changes.
Automatically create a task in Contacts when an invoice fails for follow-up.
Collect your Stripe secret key and ensure your GHL API credentials are ready for use.
Map Stripe fields to Contacts fields (email, name, customerId) and set up webhooks for real-time updates.
Run end-to-end tests, review logs, and enable the automation in production.
No extensive coding is required thanks to the no-code connectors and pre-built triggers. You can set up basic data flows using the GUI, then expand with advanced mappings if needed. Start with a test project to confirm the data sync works as expected. If you do encounter edge cases, you can implement custom actions or use webhooks to handle exceptions without touching code.
Permissions should align with the scopes you need: contacts.readonly for viewing data, and more permissive scopes for creating or updating records. Ensure your API credentials have the required rights and that your Stripe key is active. Audit logs help verify access.
Yes. Webhooks and polling can provide near real-time updates. The cadence depends on Stripe events and your app’s processing speed. For critical data, enable webhooks and design idempotent actions.
Errors are surfaced in the connector dashboards and logs. Common issues include invalid tokens, missing fields, or rate limit responses. Use retry logic with exponential backoff and implement field validation.
Stripe and GHL APIs have rate limits. Plan requests, batch operations when possible, and implement authentication rotation. If you hit limits, increase intervals or queue events.
Stripe events should be enabled for real-time updates. Ensure the webhook endpoint is reachable by Stripe and that the right events are configured (customer.created, invoice.paid, etc.).
Yes. The integration is designed for no-code use with pre-built actions, but you can always extend it with custom actions or scripts if your workflow demands.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
