Sending customer details from Stripe
Quaderno automatically generates your invoices and credit notes with the customer details received from Stripe, which in turn receives the information collected by the platform you are using to manage your sales.
This article reviews supported Stripe fields and fallback reading order. This information is useful for integrators and developers.
For cases where some details are missing from your documents, please contact your third-party platform’s support team to ask them for help fixing these issues.
| Basic data | Stripe sources, in fallback order |
|---|---|
| Customer’s name | 1. Customer’s name 2. Customer’s shipping name 3. Cardholder name 4. Customer’s description |
| Customer’s billing address | 1. Shipping address 2. Customer’s billing address 3. Card’s billing address |
| Customer’s tax ID (VAT number) | 1. Customer tax ID object. 2. Customer object metadata field: tax_id or business_number 3. Charge object metadata field: tax_id |
| Customer’s IP address | 1. Charge object metadata field: ip_address 2. Customer object metadata field: ip_address |
When a tax ID is removed from a Stripe customer, it will also be removed in Quaderno. However, if the Stripe customer has an additional tax ID that matches their country, this tax ID will be assigned as the new tax ID in Quaderno.

Quaderno can make sense of the following fields inside Stripe’s charge or subscription metadata field:
