By Impran M N
Manually emailing customers every time they pay or renew a subscription doesn't scale. This guide shows how to enable Stripe's built-in tools for sending automatic payment receipts and setting up renewal notifications, so subscribers always get confirmation without you lifting a finger.
01Enable receipt emails in the Stripe dashboard
Start in your dashboard's email settings and turn on automatic receipts so successful payments trigger a confirmation email right away.
02Customize payment receipt settings
Adjust the receipt content and appearance so it reflects your business rather than a generic default template.
03Set up renewal emails for subscriptions
For subscription billing, enable renewal notifications so customers get a heads-up or confirmation each time their plan renews.
04Test receipts and renewal notifications
Run through a test payment and renewal cycle to confirm the emails actually go out and look the way you expect before relying on them in production.
