# Introduction

> What the Stripe Sendcloud app does and when to use it.

**Automatically create Sendcloud orders from Stripe invoices or subscriptions.**

Automatically sync Stripe invoices or subscriptions to Sendcloud. This app will create a new order in Sendcloud, which allows you to create shipping labels for the carrier that you prefer.

**At a high level:**

* you configure Sendcloud API credentials in Stripe app settings,
* you choose which Stripe events should trigger syncing,
* the app creates Sendcloud orders automatically,
* you can also create an order manually from the invoice detail page,
* the app tracks sync status and shipment updates,
* customer pages in Stripe show synced Sendcloud order references.

## Who this app is for

This app is for teams that already use:

* **Stripe** for invoicing and/or subscription billing,
* **Sendcloud** for shipping and parcel management.

## What this app syncs

The app supports **invoice-based sync** and **subscription-based sync**.

* automatic sync from selected Stripe webhook events (invoice events or subscription events),
* manual sync from Stripe invoice detail pages,
* status mapping from Sendcloud updates back to Stripe app UI.

## Data handling summary

* Sendcloud credentials are stored in **Stripe Secret Store**.
* Customer addresses are sent to Sendcloud when creating orders.
* The app database stores operational references and statuses, not full customer profile datasets.
