### FAQs

Question: Is the Stripe Billing integration easy to set up?  
Answer: Absolutely. After creating your Upflow organization, simply click “Connect” and authorize Stripe access. The integration requires only a few permissions and takes just minutes to initiate. Once connected, the sync begins automatically, with no coding or custom setup required.

Question: How does the integration between Stripe Billing and Upflow work?  
Answer: Upflow connects directly to your Stripe Billing account to import customers, invoices, and payments. After an initial sync, all relevant data is updated in real time, keeping your AR process current and accurate—without manual exports or API management.

Question: What happens when customers pay invoices via the Upflow portal?  
Answer: Payments made through the Upflow portal are automatically written back to Stripe. While Stripe’s API doesn’t allow linking payments directly to a specific invoice, Upflow ensures the invoice is marked paid out of band, helping you keep Stripe records in sync without disrupting your accounting flow.

Question: Will all my Stripe invoices show up in Upflow automatically?  
Answer: Most active invoices from Stripe are synced into Upflow in real time, so your AR team always has access to accurate, up-to-date data. To keep your workflow focused, draft invoices are excluded, while voided and uncollectible invoices are imported with the appropriate statuses—ensuring only relevant and actionable invoices appear in your collections process.

Question: Can I sync Stripe metadata or custom fields into Upflow?  
Answer: Yes. You can import Stripe metadata as custom fields in Upflow for customers, invoices, and payments. Additionally, native Stripe fields like default payment method, delinquent status, and tax location can be added directly from Upflow’s custom fields section for more granular reporting and workflow customization.
