## Stripe Data Sync

{% hint style="warning" %}

### **IMPORTANT**

Only proceed if you have a thorough understanding of your data. If you have any questions or need help, reach out to our support team. This process cannot be undone, edited later, or stopped part way through.
{% endhint %}

### Read the Documentation&#x20;

1. Carefully and thoroughly read the Stripe Data Integration documentation on the Stripe Data Integration page until you understand it&#x20;

### Decide Which Data Type Is Appropriate For Your Business&#x20;

1. Be sure you understand the Stripe Data Integration documentation and how it relates to your data needs
2. Select the appropriate Data Type that provides the data you want **without introducing redundancy or duplicate records** from your other data sources
3. Double check that you've selected the appropriate Data Type
4. Click Sync Data
   * Note: this process may take some time to complete

## Stripe Limitations And Notes

* Initial payments need to be in place prior to syncing Stripe data (webhook setup and historical data loaded in already). Cart platforms such as Clickfunnels historical data contain the initial sale that are associated to the subscription but don't actually contain the payment.
  * Note: when uploading historical data, there is no need to worry about duplicate sales records
