Stripe integration

Stripe in Polar: recurring revenue and fees, in your P&L.

Connect Stripe over its API and MCP and Polar ingests your payments, subscription revenue, fees, refunds and disputes, blended with Shopify orders. Net revenue and contribution margin finally reflect real processing costs and recurring revenue, not a gross number with the costs left out.

Net revenue, after fees, refunds and disputes.

Subscription revenue, processing fees, refunds and disputes from Stripe netted into one P&L, so net revenue is what actually settled rather than what was charged.

Side by side

Stripe shows payments. Polar shows profit.

Stripe reports gross payments and its own fees in a dashboard of its own, apart from your Shopify orders, ad spend and margin. So net revenue, the number that actually matters, has to be reconstructed by hand. Polar builds it for you.

The Gap

The Stripe connector is only half of it.

Featured Use Case

Net revenue, not gross.

Stripe will happily show you gross payments, but the number your business runs on is net, after processing fees, refunds, disputes and chargebacks, and Stripe keeps those scattered across separate reports.

Fees netted out

Net revenue

Processing fees, refunds and disputes are pulled and subtracted, so margin is real. Subscription revenue sits next to one-time orders on one governed P&L.

Ask Polar, in plain language

No SQL

“Show net revenue after Stripe fees, and MRR next to DTC orders.” No SQL, no export.
