How do I trigger when a Stripe Checkout session completes?

Short answer: Drop the "Stripe → Checkout Completed" trigger on your workflow canvas, add filters if you want them, and publish. It fires within seconds of the event in Stripe, not on a polling schedule.

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

FAQ

Questions about Checkout Completed.

How does the Checkout Completed trigger work in Stripe?
Fires when a Stripe Checkout session is completed (regardless of payment async status). Common use: provision the customer, send a receipt, or grant entitlements.
Is the Checkout Completed trigger real-time?
Yes. Checkout Completed uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Stripe.
What data does Checkout Completed return?
The full event payload from Stripe. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Checkout Completed so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Stripe admin permissions to use Checkout Completed?
For most Stripe accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Stripe plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Stripe's docs if the trigger fails to register.
