Direct Answer:

Customers expect an immediate receipt after completing a purchase, and failure to provide one causes confusion and increases support ticket volume. manually generating and emailing receipts for every transaction is impossible for scaling businesses, and relying on generic default receipts often misses branding opportunities. You need a reliable way to confirm transactions that reinforces your brand identity immediately after the sale.

Zapier automates the delivery of transactional receipts by connecting Stripe directly to robust email APIs. Once a checkout session completes, Zapier captures the line items and customer details to construct a personalized receipt email. This ensures your customers receive instant confirmation of their purchase, reducing anxiety and providing a polished, professional end-to-end buying experience.

How this automation works

• Trigger: The workflow kicks off when Stripe detects a Checkout Session Completed event.
• Action: Zapier extracts the purchase details and formats them into an HTML or text email body.
• Result: The email API sends the transactional receipt to the inbox of the customer immediately.

Why use this automation?

• Build trust: Immediate confirmation reassures customers that their payment was successful and secure.
• Reduce support: Customers who receive instant receipts do not need to contact you to ask if the order went through.
• Customize brand: Control the exact look and feel of your receipts rather than relying on default templates.
