What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Validate customer emails before processing subscriptions

Enrich customer profiles with data for better risk assessment

Verify business information for B2B payment processing

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New invoice created in Stripe Fetch VAT rates for customer country → apply rates.standard to Stripe invoice tax field

VAT Rate on Stripe Invoices

Ensure Stripe invoices use the correct VAT standard rate based on the customer's country.

New payment received in Stripe Fetch VAT rates → compare rates.standard with applied tax rate, add metadata flag if mismatched

Stripe Tax Validation Check

Validate that Stripe payments have the correct VAT rate and flag any discrepancies in payment metadata.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Stripe as the trigger app and "New payment" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the VAT Rates API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Stripe action for "Create charge" and map the returned fields (like country) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Stripe module set to "New payment". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/vatrates with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Stripe module for "Create charge". Map fields like data.country into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Stripe trigger node for "New payment" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/vatrates using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Stripe node for "Create charge" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.country }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
