Customer sync is Stripe → ShingleAI, scoped to your primary business’s connected Stripe account.

What triggers a sync

  • Initial sync runs when you first connect Stripe — existing customers are imported in a batch.
  • Ongoing sync runs on Stripe webhooks. New customers and updates to existing customers propagate to ShingleAI automatically.
There is no manual “sync now” button today. Webhook propagation is usually within seconds.

Sync scope

  • Only the Stripe account you linked via Stripe Connect is synced.
  • The linked account is scoped to your primary business. In a multi-business setup, the other businesses’ customers don’t appear here.

What gets synced

  • Name
  • Email
  • Customer ID (stripeCustomerId, used to detect that a row is synced)
  • Customer creation date (displayed as “Customer since”)
Stripe-specific metadata that ShingleAI doesn’t surface today (tax IDs, shipping addresses, metadata keys) remains in Stripe. Contact support if you need a specific field pulled through.

Detecting sync status

  • Synced customers have a green Stripe badge in the list and a populated stripeCustomerId.
  • Not synced customers are rows added in ShingleAI directly — today this path is rare because the UI doesn’t expose customer creation, but some API/MCP callers do.
The Sync filter in the list lets you narrow to synced or not-synced.

What does NOT sync

  • ShingleAI → Stripe. Edits in the Customers list do not push back to Stripe. Customer data in Stripe is authoritative.
  • Deletion. Deleting a customer in Stripe does not delete the ShingleAI record automatically — it stays visible until support removes it (or a future sync pass handles soft-deletes).
