What You Can Do with Stripe

Connect Stripe natively to Referral Rock referral software (a native integration currently in open beta). With Customer Feed, a successful Stripe payment automatically approves the matching referral across all your programs and can add the buyer as a member, with no Zapier and no API keys to manage.

Customer Feed: a paid Stripe checkout or invoice approves the matching referral across all programs

Preload buyers as members automatically based on your account settings

Connect in minutes over OAuth (Stripe Connect, read-only): no API keys to copy

Read-only and inbound: Referral Rock reads paid-payment events and never writes to your Stripe account

How the Stripe Integration Works

Connect Stripe over OAuth

Authorize Referral Rock from the integrations page using Stripe Connect (read-only). No Public/Private API keys and no Zapier. The native connection reads payment events directly.

A successful payment approves the referral

When a Checkout Session or Invoice is marked paid in Stripe, Customer Feed matches the buyer and sets their referral to Approved across all of your programs automatically.

Preload buyers as members

Based on your account settings, the paying customer can be added as a preloaded member and flow into your invite lifecycle, ready to start referring.

One approval, every program

A single Stripe payment approves the matching referral everywhere it lives, with no manual reconciliation or CSV imports across your programs.

Approve referrals automatically when a payment succeeds

Customer Feed connects Stripe as a system of record. The moment a referred customer pays, their referral is approved, with no manual reconciliation or CSV imports.

A paid Checkout Session or Invoice in Stripe sets the matching referral to Approved across every program it belongs to.
Buyers can be preloaded as members based on your account settings, so they enter the invite lifecycle without any manual work.
Approval happens in real time as payment events arrive over the secure connection.

Read-only and inbound by design

The Stripe connection only reads the payment signals Referral Rock needs, and it never changes anything in your Stripe account.

Connect over OAuth with Stripe Connect in read-only mode; there are no API keys to copy or rotate.
The connection is one-way: Referral Rock reads paid-payment events and never writes back to Stripe.
Because it's scoped to paid events, attribution ties to revenue you've actually collected.

Expert setup support included

Connecting a billing system and deciding which payment events should approve referrals takes a little thought. Every Referral Rock customer gets a dedicated advisor to walk them through it.

We help you authorize the connection and confirm the right payment events drive approvals.
We help you decide reward timing and how to structure your launch campaign.
If something doesn't connect the way you expect, we dig in with you until it does.

Stripe Referral Integration FAQs

Connect Stripe natively over OAuth from the Referral Rock integrations page. The connection uses Stripe Connect in read-only mode, so there are no Public/Private API keys to copy and no Zapier to configure. Every Referral Rock plan includes dedicated onboarding support to help you get connected.

The native connection is powered by Customer Feed. When a Stripe Checkout Session or Invoice is marked paid, Referral Rock matches the buyer and sets their referral to Approved across all of your programs. Based on your account settings, the buyer can also be preloaded as a member so they can start referring.

No. Stripe is a Customer Feed source that tells Referral Rock when a payment succeeds so the matching referral is approved. Reward payouts are delivered separately through Referral Rock's payout integrations (Tango, PayPal, or Wise) or the other reward types you configure in Referral Rock.

No. The Stripe connection is inbound-only and read-only: Referral Rock reads paid-payment events to approve referrals and preload members, and never writes data back to Stripe.

Not for the native integration. The older setup connected Stripe through Zapier and required Referral Rock Public/Private API keys; the native connection replaces that with a single OAuth authorization. The Zapier path still works as a legacy option if you already rely on it.

Yes. Referral Rock includes a test mode so you can verify the Stripe connection is working correctly before launching to your customers. The native integration is currently in open beta and available to all customers.

Yes. Referral Rock is referral software built to run customer referral, brand ambassador, and affiliate marketing programs from one platform. The Stripe integration works the same way no matter which type you run.

“Their integrations, their obsession to be on the leading edge of their niche, the overall customizability... All in all, I saved thousands by not needing to build an app or sign up for a long-term contract.”
