Connect Stripe to Ergora and the Finance pack shows your Stripe cash position, an estimate of your monthly recurring revenue, net revenue by month and your recent payouts. Your monthly revenue from Stripe can also feed the revenue outlook in AI Forecasts. This guide covers what Ergora reads from Stripe, what you see, how the forecasting link works and what Ergora does not do with Stripe data.

How to connect Stripe

Ergora connects to Stripe with an API key. You paste a key into the Stripe connection in your workspace, Ergora checks it with Stripe, and the Stripe data then appears in the Finance pack. Ergora only reads from Stripe: it does not create charges, issue refunds or change anything in your Stripe account. To disconnect, remove Stripe in Ergora and delete or roll the key in Stripe.

What Ergora reads from Stripe

  • Balance: the amount available and the amount pending.
  • Recent charges: the latest payments, with amount, status and customer email where Stripe provides one.
  • Active subscriptions: a count, and the prices and quantities used to estimate MRR.
  • Recent payouts: the latest payouts and when they arrive.
  • Net revenue by month: charges and payments less refunds, from Stripe's balance transactions, for the last six months.

What you see in the Finance pack

In the Cash Flow view, Stripe appears as:

  • Cash Available (Stripe): your available balance, with the pending amount alongside it.
  • Monthly Recurring Revenue: an estimate from your active subscriptions, with the number of active subscriptions beside it.
  • Net revenue by month: a chart of the last six months, built from real balance transactions rather than a projected curve.
  • Recent Payouts: your latest payouts and their status.
  • A short summary: a plain-English read of the figures on screen, written from those figures only.

If you also connect Xero, the same view shows what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers, so Stripe cash and your accounting figures sit together. See the finance page for how Ergora handles Xero, HMRC and IRS deadlines.

How Stripe feeds forecasts

Ergora's AI Forecasts tab uses Google's TimesFM to turn a metric's monthly history into a six-month outlook with an 80% confidence band. When Stripe is connected, Ergora syncs your monthly revenue from Stripe into that pipeline. Once the series has at least six months of history, the revenue outlook is built from your own numbers instead of the sample.

Two points to be clear about:

  • The forecast is monthly, not rolling. It is a six-month outlook by month. It is not a rolling 90-day cash flow forecast, and it is not updated daily or in real time. The sample forecasts refresh weekly, and forecasts on your own data refresh when your workspace syncs.
  • The feed is limited. Ergora reads a limited number of your recent charges for the forecast feed, so a very high-volume account may not yet produce a forecast.

For the full picture of what the forecasts show and where they stop, see our guide to forecasting with TimesFM.

What it does not do

Ergora does not turn Stripe into a revenue operations team. Specifically:

  • It does not detect or predict churn, and it does not score customers at risk of cancelling.
  • It does not run cohort analysis.
  • It does not send dunning emails or chase failed payments for you.
  • It does not monitor failed payment rates or send alerts about them.
  • It does not produce a rolling or real-time cash flow forecast.
  • It does not report on individual customers or subscriptions beyond the recent charges and counts above.
  • The MRR figure is an estimate from your active subscriptions' prices, and for a large subscription base it covers up to your first 100 active subscriptions.

If you need deeper subscription analytics, Stripe's own reporting is where that work happens today. Ergora's job here is to put your Stripe cash, revenue and payouts next to the rest of your business.

What it costs

Stripe connects through the Finance pack. One seat with the Finance pack is from $158 a month ($99 seat plus $59 pack), with 50% off the first month and a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is no free plan. See the pricing page, and the integrations page for everything Ergora connects to.
