Create or Find Stripe Customers & Auto-Generate Invoices

Save hours of manual billing with this n8n workflow for Stripe. It searches for existing customers by email; if none found, creates a new customer automatically. Then, it generates a draft invoice, adds a product line item via Stripe Price ID, and finalizes it for payment—ensuring clean data and efficient invoicing.

Ideal for SaaS founders, entrepreneurs, and e-commerce owners handling recurring or one-off billing. Integrates directly with Stripe API, reducing errors from duplicate customers and manual entry. Use cases include customer onboarding, subscription starts, or ad-hoc service invoicing triggered by forms, emails, or CRMs.

Benefits: Time-saving automation prevents oversights, scales billing operations, and maintains accurate records. No coding needed—just configure credentials and inputs.

Setup is straightforward: Connect Stripe via HTTP Basic Auth, customize email/Price ID, test manually, and deploy with webhooks or schedules for production use.
