The No-Code Data Sync That Saves Solopreneurs 5 Hours/Week (Stripe → Sheets → Notion)

3 min read

Stop manually updating your finance tracker. Learn how to sync live Stripe revenue data into a Google Sheet and then display it beautifully in Notion.

You have a "Finance Dashboard" in Notion.

It looks pretty. It has a nice progress bar for your revenue goal.

But it's a lie.

It says you made $5,000 this month, but you actually made $6,200. Why? Because you haven't updated it in 4 days.

Manual data entry is the enemy of accuracy.

This guide shows you how to build a Live Financial Brain that updates itself.

The Architecture

  • Source: Stripe (The Truth).
  • Processor: Google Sheets (The Calculator).
  • Display: Notion (The Dashboard).
  • Step 1: Stripe to Sheets

    We don't want to dump every single transaction into Notion (it will get slow). We want to dump them into Sheets.

    * Make.com Trigger: Stripe > Watch Events (Charge Succeeded).

    * Action: Google Sheets > Add Row.

    * Columns: Date, Amount, Customer Email, Product Name.

    Now, your Google Sheet is a live database of every penny you earn.

    Step 2: The Calculations (The Magic)

    In a separate tab of your Google Sheet (call it "Summary"), use formulas to crunch the numbers.

    * =SUMIFS(Transactions!B:B, Transactions!A:A, ">"&TODAY()-30) -> Last 30 Days Revenue.

    * =COUNTUNIQUE(Transactions!C:C) -> Total Customers.

    This is why we use Sheets. Doing this math in Notion databases is painful and slow.

    Step 3: Sheets to Notion

    Now we just need to move those final numbers to Notion.

    * Make.com Trigger: Google Sheets > Get Cell (Get the value of your "Total Revenue" cell).

    * Action: Notion > Update Database Item.

    * Target: Your "CEO Dashboard" page.

    * Property: Update the "Current Revenue" number property.

    Step 4: The "Goal" Progress Bar

    In Notion, you can now have a visual progress bar.

    * Property: Goal ($10,000).

    * Property: Current (Synced from Sheets).

    Formula: round((prop("Current") / prop("Goal")) 100) + "%"

    Every time you make a sale:

  • Stripe pings Make.
  • Make updates Sheets.
  • Sheets calculates the new total.
  • Make updates Notion.
  • Your progress bar moves forward automatically.
  • Seeing this in action makes a huge difference. Once configured, the interface provides a clear visual confirmation that your automation is running smoothly, giving you peace of mind that the system is working as intended.

    Why This Matters

    It's about Feedback Loops.

    If you only check your finances once a month, you can't react.

    If you see your revenue number every single time you open Notion (which is 50 times a day), you are constantly aware of your performance.

    "What gets measured gets managed. What gets displayed gets done."

    Conclusion

    Stop being a data entry clerk in your own business.

    Build the pipes once, and let the data flow forever.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why not sync Stripe directly to Notion?

    You can, but Notion is bad at math. It can't easily do 'Sum of Last 30 Days' or complex tax calculations across thousands of rows. Google Sheets is the best calculator. Notion is the best display. Using Sheets as the 'middleman' gives you the best of both worlds.

    Is this secure?

    Yes, as long as you keep your Make.com credentials and Google Sheet private. Never share the raw 'Financial Data' sheet with anyone. Only share the Notion dashboard.

    How often does it update?

    With Make.com, you can set it to run instantly (via Webhooks) or on a schedule (e.g., every hour). For financial data, once a day is usually enough.

    Can I track expenses too?

    Yes! Connect your bank (via Plaid or a CSV export) to the same Google Sheet. Then use formulas to calculate 'Net Profit' and sync *that* final number to Notion.
