How this automation works

Create a matching Stripe customer to keep billing and payment records in sync. It runs whenever a new contact is added to the Xero organisation you select and uses the contact details to create the customer in Stripe. This is useful for finance and sales teams who want Xero contacts reflected in Stripe for invoices, subscriptions, and unified customer records across Xero and Stripe.
