Automated Stripe Customer and Invoice Management Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of managing customers and invoices in Stripe through a manual trigger, making it easy to create or update customers and generate invoices on demand. When you click ‘Test workflow,’ the process starts by setting invoice data and then checking if the customer already exists in Stripe via an HTTP request. If the customer exists, their ID is used; otherwise, a new customer is created in Stripe. Subsequently, an invoice is created, and items can be added to it before finalizing the invoice. This setup is particularly useful for businesses that require on-demand billing, such as subscription services or one-off charges, allowing seamless management of customer records and billing from within n8n.
