# Stripe

> Use Stripe in Workflow Machine for customer-related automations and billing-adjacent workflow triggers.

## What Stripe is good for

Stripe is useful when a workflow needs to react to or update customer and billing-related information.

Typical use cases include:

* customer handoff workflows
* billing-related notifications
* account enrichment based on payment activity
* syncing customer records into other systems

## Common workflow patterns

Stripe is a strong fit for:

* customer creation or update workflows
* financial-event notifications
* support workflows that depend on customer status
* CRM or database syncs

## Triggers and actions

Stripe workflows are commonly centered on customer lookup and update tasks, along with related business events. Check the step picker for the exact Stripe triggers and actions available in your workspace.

## Connection requirements

Before using Stripe:

* create a Stripe connection
* confirm the correct Stripe environment or account is connected
* verify the workflow should use that account rather than a test or alternate one

## Troubleshooting tips

If a Stripe step fails, check:

* whether the correct Stripe account is connected
* whether the workflow is using live or test data intentionally
* whether the customer fields being used actually exist in the incoming or stored data
