  • Connect Test Mode — connects your Stripe test environment for testing the integration before going live

Configuring qualification rules

Once Stripe is connected, the Qualify Leads Automatically using Stripe section appears directly on the Payment tab. This automatically qualifies referred users when they make purchases through Stripe.
Configure the following settings:
  • How much must the referred user spend, in order to become qualified? (USD) — Set a minimum spend amount in your chosen currency (e.g. $5)
  • How many days does the referred user have to spend this amount? — Set a time window in days (e.g. 90)
  • Toggle ON if you want to unqualify users that request a refund — When enabled, if a qualified user requests a refund through Stripe, their qualification status will be reversed

Syncing Stripe customers as referrers

Go to Referrers → Add Referrers → Sync → Stripe to pull your existing Stripe customers into the campaign as referrers. For step-by-step instructions, see How to sync referrers from Stripe.

Disconnecting Stripe

To disconnect Stripe, click the Disconnect button on the Payment tab. A confirmation dialog will appear warning that this will remove the integration connection and all associated settings will be lost. This action cannot be undone.
