Basic Airtable functionality is available for free, while plugins like Air WP Sync offer a free version and a Pro version for added features.

Best for: Payments and transaction data

Integrating Stripe with Airtable provides a robust solution for businesses to manage their financial data and payment processing.

It enables seamless updates of Airtable records with Stripe transactions, subscriptions, and invoices, ensuring financial data is always current and accessible.

This integration is highly customizable, allowing for a variety of automated workflows, such as updating records for new charges or creating entries for new subscriptions.

In addition to Zapier, platforms like Data Fetcher and Skyvia provide alternative methods for integrating Airtable with Stripe, offering different features and pricing models that might suit various business needs.

Installation and setup

Setting up the Airtable-Stripe integration via Zapier involves connecting both Airtable and Stripe to Zapier and creating "Zaps"—automated workflows that link two services.

The process involves selecting the specific Stripe and Airtable events to trigger actions, like creating or updating records. The setup is user-friendly, guided by Zapier's clear prompts and requires minimal technical expertise.

Key features

1. Automated record creation: generate or update Airtable records for new Stripe events, such as payments and subscriptions;
2. Custom workflow triggers: set up Zaps for specific Stripe actions, like completed checkout sessions or cancelled subscriptions;
3. Real-time updates: sync Stripe financial data with Airtable records as transactions occur​.

Use cases

1. Sales tracking: automate the recording of new sales data from Stripe into Airtable;
2. Subscription management: manage new and cancelled Stripe subscriptions by updating Airtable records accordingly.
3. Invoice syncing: keep a synchronized record of issued Stripe invoices within Airtable.

User experience

I found the Zapier integration pretty straightforward to set up, making financial data management more efficient. Online reviews often praise the time saved and the reduction of manual errors through the automated sync of Stripe data to Airtable.

Users can also map data fields precisely and handle larger volumes of data with specialized tools like Data Fetcher and Skyvia. However, there might be a learning curve in setting up the initial integration with these tools and understanding the advanced mapping and synchronization features.

Pricing

Aside from the usual subscriptions to Zapier and Airtable, you'd also need a Stripe account to get this Airtable integration working. Stripe operates on a straightforward pay-as-you-go pricing model.

For online transactions, the standard fee is 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. In contrast, for card-present transactions, a slightly lower fee of 2.7% plus $0.05 per transaction is applied. There are no monthly or annual fees for using basic services.
