Easy Tech TutsHow to Setup Stripe Email Receipts Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Automatic receipts save you from manually confirming every payment and make your business look more professional. This guide covers where email receipt settings live in the Stripe dashboard, how to turn them on for payments, refunds, and renewals, and how to add your own branding so the emails feel like they came from you rather than a generic processor.
01Find email receipt settings in the dashboard
Email receipt controls sit in your Stripe dashboard's settings area, separate from your payment flow itself, so it's worth locating them before you go live.
02Enable automatic receipts for payments
Turn on the toggle for successful payments so customers automatically get a receipt the moment a charge succeeds, with no manual step from you.
03Set up receipts for refunds and renewals
Beyond one-time payments, Stripe can also send receipts for refunds and subscription renewals, which is important if you run recurring billing.
04Customize the receipt with your branding
Add your logo and business details to the receipt template so the email matches your brand instead of looking like a generic Stripe notice.

Yes, once you enable the setting for renewals, Stripe sends a receipt each time a subscription payment goes through, not just on the first charge.
Can I customize what the receipt email looks like?
