Stripe
Stripe is a leading financial infrastructure platform that powers payments for millions of businesses around the world. From startups to global enterprises, Stripe helps companies accept payments, manage revenue, and scale their financial operations with speed and security.
How It Works

How to Connect
FAQs
Yes. Puzzle has a direct Stripe integration. Connect from Integrations → Stripe in Puzzle (or during onboarding). Puzzle ingests Stripe balance activity—payments, refunds, fees, disputes, transfers, and payouts—so you can reconcile processor activity to your bank deposits without rebuilding spreadsheets.
Stripe invoices (including subscription and transaction invoices) and invoice status updates sync into Puzzle. Subscriptions feed ARR/MRR and revenue views. Puzzle also records payments, fees, refunds, chargebacks, and payouts so you can reconcile your Stripe balance and payout batches. Resetting the Stripe connection does not impose a fixed history cap in Puzzle.
Stripe syncs once a day. You can check the last sync time under Integrations → Stripe. Puzzle’s Stripe reconcile guidance notes the daily sync around 2 AM Pacific, so activity from today or yesterday may not be in Puzzle yet. Report refresh on dashboards does not re-sync Stripe; wait for the Stripe sync or check connection status.
Yes. Puzzle can generate automated revenue recognition schedules from service period dates in Stripe and surface cash, accrual, and recurring revenue views. ARR and MRR are automated through the Stripe connection. Automated recognition works best for subscription-style billings; usage-based Stripe subscriptions are not fully covered by the automation today—contact Puzzle if that is your model.
Use Puzzle’s accrual view to line up with Stripe’s default reports. Compare your Stripe receivable / processor balance in Puzzle to Stripe’s Balance summary for the same dates and timezone. For payouts, open a payout’s detail and post (or review) gross revenue, Stripe fees, and refunds/chargebacks separately so net cash matches the bank deposit. Puzzle also builds a monthly Stripe reconciliation report (typically ready within the first week of the following month) under Payment processor → Reconciliations.
