Stripe integration
Subscriptions, payment methods, and invoicing.
How Stripe fits in CloudIP
- Powers card and ACH payment for invoices, online checkout, and POS card-not-present flows.
- Manages CloudIP subscription billing for the platform itself.
- Reports payment events back to the GL so deposits reconcile against invoices.
Why this integration exists
Stripe is the default US merchant of record for SaaS subscription billing and is also one of the supported payment processors for tenant transactions.
Configuration notes
- Connect via Stripe Connect for tenant transactions; tenant funds settle to the tenant's bank.
- Webhooks are managed by CloudIP — no manual webhook config in Stripe Dashboard.
How the Stripe integration runs in production
The Stripe integration is part of the standard CloudIP subscription — it is not a partner-tier add-on or a separate billing line. Authentication, rate limiting, and error handling are managed inside the platform, and any change in the Stripe state of the world propagates to the relevant CloudIP module without operator intervention.
For most customers, the integration is invisible after the initial connection: records appear in the payments module they belong to, and downstream workflows — reports, audit trail, exports — see the same data the rest of the platform sees. The integration honours the tenant.dataResidency choice you make at provisioning, so Stripe traffic respects the same boundary as your own records.
If you eventually outgrow the Stripe integration, the data it touches stays inside CloudIP — the integration is a connector, not a system of record. That means swapping Stripe for an alternative does not require a data migration; it requires reconnecting the source.
Common questions about the Stripe integration
Yes. The Stripe integration is part of the platform; there is no per-integration fee or premium tier required to use it. You bring your own Stripe account where applicable, and CloudIP handles the connection.
