How-to: Improve Reconciling with Stripe using Metadata

When you accept payments via Stripe, the money is settled directly into your account. YouLi passes metadata through to improve your reconciliation.

⚡For your bookkeepers: More metadata in Stripe 🚧

Meta data is now being passed with the payment and automatically included in any payment exports and zaps!

  • YouLiInstallmentLabel
    • Example: "Deposit"
    • This can include multiple installments if it is a "catchup payment"
  • YouLiReferenceCode
    • Example: "GW8F6AGILU"
  • YouLiTripAlias (aka Trip Short Name)
    • Example: "jordan-cambodia-template"
  • YouLiTripName
    • Example: "Jordan Cambodia Template"
  • internalPaymentId
    • Example: "3ec45c46-9992-ee11-8925-000d3afbdcd4"
    • Use this when reporting issues so we know exactly which payment
