> Take payment with Stripe in a Plandalf checkout, then tag the buyer in Kit, start a Kit sequence and untag them on a refund. Native steps, no Zapier.

No coding required. **Stripe** **Kit (ConvertKit)** ## Does Stripe integrate with Kit (ConvertKit)? Not as a direct sync between the two accounts. Plandalf sits between them: a Plandalf checkout takes payment through your connected Stripe account, and a Plandalf sequence then runs native Kit steps to tag the subscriber, add them to a form or sequence and update custom fields. A Kit event, such as a tag being added, can also start a Plandalf sequence. ## What moves between Stripe and Kit (ConvertKit) Event From and to Through What happens Checkout completed Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Kit Native step A paid main checkout starts the sequence. Its Kit steps create the subscriber first if Kit does not have the email, so no separate create step is needed. Upsell accepted Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Kit Native step A customer who pays for the post-checkout upsell can get a second tag, so Kit can tell bundle buyers from single-product buyers. Invoice paid Plandalf (paid via Stripe)Kit Native step Also fires on subscription renewals and invoices you send, which makes it the place to update a custom field such as `plan`. Cart abandoned PlandalfKit Native step A visitor who typed an email but did not pay can be added to a Kit form or sequence after a wait of 5 minutes to 7 days. The trigger can skip visitors from the EU, EEA and UK. Invoice refunded StripeKit Native step A refund that succeeds in Stripe, including one made in the Stripe dashboard, starts the Remove access on refund template, which removes the Kit tag. Subscriber joined form, tag added KitPlandalf Native step Plandalf adds the webhook to your Kit account when you save the trigger. A common use is the Enroll in Promo step, which starts a countdown for anyone who joins a form. ## Tag every Stripe buyer in Kit and start their emails You need a Stripe account and a Kit account where you can create API keys. 1. ### Connect Stripe and publish a checkout In Plandalf, authorize your Stripe account (you are sent to Stripe and back, and Plandalf never sees your secret key), attach a Stripe-backed price to an offer and publish it. Money still lands in your Stripe account. 2. ### Create a V4 key in Kit In Kit open your account menu, then Settings, then Developer. Under V4 Keys choose Add a new key and name it Plandalf. Use the V4 key, not the legacy V3 key on the same page. 3. ### Connect Kit Go to Automation, then Marketplace, find Kit under Available now and click Connect. Paste the key. Plandalf checks it with Kit straight away and shows Kit connected. 4. ### Start the sequence from the checkout Create a sequence under My Sequences, choose Plandalf as the app and Checkout Completed as the trigger, and pick the checkout under Offer. On the Test tab choose a recent checkout as the sample so the variable menu fills in. 5. ### Add the Kit steps Add Kit, Tag Subscriber with Email Address set to `{{trigger.customer_email}}`, a tag such as Customer and First Name set to `{{trigger.customer_first_name}}`. Then add Kit, Add Subscriber to Sequence with the same email and your onboarding sequence, which must be active in Kit. 6. ### Take the tag back on refund Under Automation, then Templates, add Remove access on refund for the same checkout and pick your tag in the Remove Tag from Subscriber step. The trigger is Invoice Refunded with Full refunds only switched on. 7. ### Rehearse with a test card Turn on Run on test purchases in the sequence settings, buy through the checkout's test link with a Stripe test card, check the Events view and your Kit subscriber, then switch the setting off. Testing a step changes real data in Kit, so use your own email. ## What sellers do with Stripe and Kit (ConvertKit) ### Course buyers into onboarding One checkout, one sequence: Checkout Completed tags the buyer Customer and drops them into the welcome sequence you built in Kit. A second sequence on the same trigger, limited to a different offer, tags buyers of a higher tier separately. ### Order bump and upsell segments Sellers who run a bump or an upsell add a second sequence on Upsell Accepted that applies an Upsell tag. In Kit that tag becomes a segment for follow-up emails about the add-on. ### Waitlist to launch with a deadline People who join a Kit form start a Plandalf sequence with Enroll in Promo, so each person gets their own countdown. When they pay, the Checkout Completed sequence tags them and Kit knows who bought. ## Limits and gotchas - Purchases do not appear in Kit's purchase history. Kit only accepts purchase records from apps connected through its OAuth sign-in, and Plandalf connects with an API key. Record what someone bought with a tag or a custom field. - Plandalf has no subscription-cancelled trigger yet. A cancelled subscription does not remove the Kit tag on its own; remove it in Kit or run Remove Tag from Subscriber from a sequence you start yourself. - The Kit steps that add something create the buyer as a Kit subscriber if they are not one yet. Make sure your checkout and terms cover marketing email before you add buyers to a Kit sequence. - Test purchases skip automations by default, so a test card will not tag anyone until you switch on Run on test purchases for that sequence. - Kit allows 120 requests a minute per key. Plandalf retries a rate-limited step twice; after that, re-run it once the burst has passed. ## Stripe and Kit (ConvertKit): common questions Does Stripe integrate with Kit? Not directly. Plandalf connects them: Stripe processes the payment in a Plandalf checkout, and a Plandalf sequence then tags the buyer in Kit, adds them to a form or a sequence, or updates their custom fields. How do I connect Stripe to Kit (ConvertKit)? Connect Stripe to Plandalf and publish a checkout, create a V4 API key in Kit and connect it under Automation, then build a sequence that starts on Checkout Completed and runs Kit's Tag Subscriber step. The setup above walks through it. Will my Stripe sales show up in Kit as purchases? No. Kit only takes purchase records from apps connected through OAuth, and Plandalf uses a Kit API key. Use a tag or a custom field to record what the buyer bought and segment on that. Is Kit the same as ConvertKit? Yes. ConvertKit renamed itself Kit in 2024. Some older guides and some Plandalf URLs still say ConvertKit, and both names point to the same Plandalf integration. ## Guides for this pair - [Plandalf with Stripe](https://plandalf.com/platforms/stripe) - [Plandalf with Kit (ConvertKit)](https://plandalf.com/platforms/convertkit) - [Kit setup guide](https://plandalf.com/docs/integrations/kit) - [Automations overview](https://plandalf.com/docs/integrations/plandalf) - [Connect Stripe to Plandalf](https://plandalf.com/docs/platforms/stripe) [Start your 14-day free trial](https://admin.plandalf.dev/signup) ## More from Stripe and Kit (ConvertKit) - [**Stripe + Intercom**A Stripe-paid Plandalf checkout can be recorded in Intercom as an event through Send Webhook, and an Intercom Series can start a Plandalf countdown.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/intercom) - [**Stripe + Kajabi**Buyers pay in a Plandalf checkout through Stripe and Plandalf grants them the Kajabi offer, then takes it back if the payment is refunded.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/kajabi) - [**Stripe + Klaviyo**Stripe takes the payment, Plandalf runs the checkout, and a Send Webhook step can hand the purchase to Klaviyo as an event.](https://plandalf.com/apps/stripe/integrations/klaviyo) - [**Thinkific + Kit (ConvertKit)**A paid Plandalf checkout enrols the student in a Thinkific course or bundle and tags them in Kit.](https://plandalf.com/apps/thinkific/integrations/convertkit) - [**Vue + Kit (ConvertKit)**A Vue 3 component opens the checkout through the browser SDK, and Kit tags and emails the buyer from a paid order.](https://plandalf.com/apps/vue-app/integrations/convertkit) - [**Webflow + Kit (ConvertKit)**A Webflow page opens the Plandalf checkout, and a paid order tags the buyer in Kit and starts their emails.](https://plandalf.com/apps/webflow/integrations/convertkit) Checked October 26, 2026 against Plandalf's own setup guides.
