1.Starts Sub-Zap with payload
Integrate Sub-Zap by Zapier and mapping tools to transform the incoming signup payload into local variables for provisioning.
Create billing customer, subscription and send initial $1 invoice
Automatically start billing provisioning across Sub-Zap by Zapier and Stripe when an incoming signup payload is received. Create and update your billing setup so you can create customers, provision subscriptions, and send initial validation invoices without manual billing setup.
How this automation validates payment and launches subscriptions
When incoming signup payloads arrive, delayed billing setup can block renewals and payment verification. This automation starts provisioning, creates Stripe customer and subscription records, and sends a $1 validation invoice and logs follow-up statusβso your team can confirm payment readiness without chasing details.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
