Introducing the Engage Stripe integration

If you use Stripe for payments, you can now connect your Stripe account to Engage for customer data enrichment, segmentation and creating messaging automation for billing notifications and reminders.

Why this is important

The Stripe integration makes it possible for Stripe to send customer and billing events from Stripe to Engage as they happen. These events can then be used on Engage to create customer segments or create message automation for billing notifications and reminders, e.g, “We could not charge your card for your subscription renewal”. No more spending development resources on building complex billing notification and reminder logic.

Subscription failure notification automation

  • Segmenting paying customers.

Get started with the Stripe integration

The Stripe integration is now available to every account on Engage.  Login to your Engage account, visit Settings -> Integrations and click on the Stripe option. You will be redirected to Stripe to log in and authorise your account. Once done, your customer events from Stripe will be sent to Engage as they happen and you can start using this to create customer segments and automate your billing messaging. We have also created sample automation templates to make it easy to create some basic billing automation.
