Pre-requisite
Stripe Billing integration is an optional feature for Blackthorn Payments. In order to enable it, contact Blackthorn Support.
Blackthorn Payments consumes the Stripe Billing API, bi-directionally
You can perform any API-supported action within Salesforce that you can perform within the Stripe dashboard. Some processes include:
Start a Stripe subscription within Salesforce from an Account
Start a Stripe subscription within Salesforce from an Opportunity
Start a Stripe subscription within Stripe that pushes to Salesforce
Update subscriptions from Salesforce that update in Stripe
Update subscriptions from Stripe that update in Salesforce
Add Usage to Salesforce that sends to Stripe to automatically
Calculate Usage aligned with Tiers and Prices.
Invoices are auto-created in Salesforce from Stripe
Charges on Invoices are auto-created in Salesforce from Stripe
Report on all of your Stripe data natively in Salesforce using native Reports and Dashboards
Stripe Billing's architecture alignment with our Salesforce-native model
Salesforce Product = Stripe Product
Salesforce Price (Custom Object) = Stripe Price
You can have multiple Prices per Product. The Price contains the amount if there are no Tiers. In this sense, it's similar to how Salesforce's Price Books work.
Salesforce Tier (Custom Object) = Stripe Tier
You can have multiple Tiers per Price.
Salesforce Usage (Custom Object) = Stripe Usage
Salesforce Subscription and Subscription Item (Custom Objects) = Stripe Subscriptions and Subscription Items
Salesforce Sales Document and Line Item (Custom Object) = Stripe Invoice and Invoice Item
For Stripe Billing to work properly, Salesforce records must exist in Stripe prior to creating or updating a Stripe Subscription from Salesforce. You can create Stripe records from Salesforce, or sync them back from Stripe.
