Stripdo

Introduction to Stripdo

Stripdo is a service that automatically generates and emails professional PDF invoices for payments processed through Stripe. It eliminates Stripe's 0.4% per-invoice fee for invoicing while maintaining full compliance with international tax requirements, including EU VAT rules. Stripdo is designed for SaaS companies, online businesses, and other digital service providers that require scalable, compliant, and cost-effective invoicing without custom development.

The service integrates directly with Stripe via a restricted API key and operates entirely in the background — detecting new payments, generating invoices with sequential numbering and proper tax treatment, and delivering them to customers via email. No manual intervention or coding is required after initial setup.

How Stripdo Works

Stripdo operates by establishing a secure webhook connection with a Stripe account using a restricted API key. Once connected, it listens for successful payment events (e.g., payment_intent.succeeded) and triggers an invoice generation workflow for each qualifying transaction. The system retrieves customer metadata (name, email, address, VAT number if available) and applies jurisdiction-specific tax logic based on buyer location, seller location, and transaction type.

Each invoice is rendered as a professional PDF containing legally required elements: sequential invoice number, date of issue, line items, tax breakdown, seller and buyer tax identification numbers, and applicable notations (e.g., "Reverse Charge" for intra-EU B2B). The PDF is then emailed directly to the customer, with delivery status tracked in the admin interface. Users can view, download, or re-send any invoice at any time, and export all invoices in bulk.

Core Benefits and Applications

Stripdo is particularly valuable for subscription-based SaaS businesses and e-commerce platforms that process high volumes of recurring or one-time payments via Stripe. By replacing Stripe Invoicing, it reduces annual invoicing costs from variable fees (e.g., $960/year for 100 invoices/month at $200 average value) to a fixed $39/year on the Starter plan. Its automatic VAT handling supports cross-border sales across the EU, UK, and global markets without requiring users to configure tax rules manually.

Businesses benefit from operational efficiency — eliminating manual invoice creation, reducing accounting reconciliation effort, and ensuring consistent branding and compliance. The service also supports financial reporting through CSV exports and bulk ZIP downloads, integrating smoothly with common bookkeeping software. Multi-currency support ensures accurate localization, and the admin panel provides visibility into sent invoices, delivery status, and historical records.

Both plans include sequential numbering, PDF generation, delivery tracking, and re-send capability.
