If you’re manually logging Stripe payments into Pipedrive, you’re wasting time. This guide shows you how to automate the entire process using n8n — a free, low-code workflow tool that lets you connect Stripe and Pipedrive without writing any custom code.

Why Connect Stripe and Pipedrive?

Pipedrive is a powerful CRM for managing sales, but it doesn’t natively track payments from Stripe. By integrating the two:

• You give your sales or customer success team visibility into recent payments
• You avoid missing out on key customer behavior signals (like churn or upgrades)
• You eliminate manual entry errors and save hours per week

This integration pulls successful Stripe charges, matches them with customers in Pipedrive, and logs payment details as notes inside their profiles. It runs on autopilot every day.

What You’ll Need

• A Stripe account with active payments
• A Pipedrive account with organizations or contacts
• n8n (either self-hosted or via n8n.cloud)
• API keys for both platforms
• Basic familiarity with n8n workflows (no code required)
• This workflow

What the Workflow Does

This n8n automation:

1. Triggers daily at 8 AM
2. Gets new successful Stripe charges since the last run
3. Fetches Stripe customer data
4. Matches Stripe customer with a Pipedrive organization
5. Creates a note on that org with payment info
6. Updates the last run time to avoid duplicate entries

Step-by-Step: Build the Stripe-to-Pipedrive Sync

1. Trigger Daily at 8 AM

Use the Cron node in n8n. Set it to run every day at 8:00 AM.

2. Get the Last Execution Timestamp

Use a FunctionItem node to retrieve the timestamp of the last run. This ensures we only process new charges.

3. Search for New Stripe Charges

Use an HTTP Request node to hit Stripe’s /v1/charges/search endpoint with a query filter:

created>{lastExecution} AND status:"succeeded"

This pulls only successful payments since the last time the workflow ran.

4. Split the Results

Use ItemLists > Split Out Items to process each charge individually.

5. Get Stripe Customer Data

Use the Stripe > Get All Customers node. Return all customer data so you can match it later.

6. Merge Customer with Charge

Use Merge (By Key) to attach customer name to the charge using customer and customerId fields.

7. Search Pipedrive Organization

Use Pipedrive > Search Organization and look up the org by customer name. (You can modify to use email for more precision.)

8. Merge Organization with Charge

Use another Merge (By Index) to combine Pipedrive org data with the charge info.

9. Create a Note in Pipedrive

Use the Pipedrive > Create Note node to log the charge details:

{{description}}: {{amount / 100}} {{currency}}

Attach it to the matched organization using org_id.

10. Update the Execution Timestamp

Use a second FunctionItem node to store the latest timestamp, preventing duplicates on the next run.

Benefits of This Automation

• Hands-off Stripe logging
• Daily CRM enrichment for customer insights
• Triggers sales workflows after high-value payments
• Improves data accuracy across your systems

Alternatives

If n8n isn’t your thing, you could try:

• Zapier or Make.com (but may require paid plans and hit limits)
• Custom scripts using Pipedrive & Stripe APIs (developer time required)
• Third-party tools from the Pipedrive Marketplace (some are limited or costly)

Conclusion

This Stripe-to-Pipedrive integration is simple, scalable, and saves you time every day. Whether you run a SaaS, agency, or service business, your team will thank you for this one.
