Overview
Connect your Stripe account with BeeL to automatically generate official invoices with every payment.
At a Glance
| What it does | Generates an official invoice in BeeL every time you receive a payment in Stripe |
| How it connects | Via Stripe Connect (OAuth) |
| What you need | A Stripe account and an active BeeL subscription |
| What you should know | Stripe invoices are not the official ones — BeeL invoices are (VeriFactu compliant) |
How does it work?
BeeL connects to your Stripe account using Stripe Connect. This means you authorize BeeL to receive notifications about your payments, without sharing your API keys or sensitive data.
The flow is simple
- Your customer pays in Stripe (subscription, one-time payment, anything)
- Stripe notifies BeeL automatically via a webhook
- BeeL generates the official invoice using your tax configuration (IVA, IRPF, series...)
- Your customer receives the invoice by email (if enabled)
You don't have to do anything. Just connect and configure once.
What does this mean for my customers?
This is important and we want to be transparent:
Stripe invoices and BeeL invoices are different things. Stripe generates its own payment documents, but they don't comply with Spanish tax regulations (VeriFactu). The official invoices are the ones generated by BeeL.
To avoid confusion, we recommend configuring Stripe invoices as proforma and disabling their invoicing emails. That way your customers only receive the official invoices from BeeL.
The downside is that your customers won't be able to see invoices in the Stripe portal. This is a current limitation — official invoices are in BeeL, not in Stripe. We're working to improve this experience, but for now it's the only way to ensure invoices are VeriFactu compliant.
Initial Setup
- Go to Settings > Integrations in BeeL
- Click Connect on the Stripe card
- Authorize the connection with your Stripe account (Stripe Connect opens)
- Open the Stripe configuration and choose your invoice series, whether to send emails, etc.
That's it. From that point on, every payment generates an invoice automatically.
