About Stripe and Melio

Stripe logo
Stripe
Source

The Stripe integration connects your payment infrastructure to Well via MCP, pulling charges, invoices, subscriptions, refunds, and payout data into your workspace automatically.

Melio logo
Melio
Target

The Melio connection delivers extracted bills into Melio through its Pay Bills email address.

Why this pair

Stripe pays out a batch from customer collections; Melio sends scheduled payments to vendors on US rails.

Connecting Stripe to Melio through Well stages Melio vendor payments against the latest Stripe payout balance with the underlying charge breakdown attached on each payment record, so vendor disbursement is funded directly from customer revenue. Stripe's MCP server pushes payout events to Well; Melio's Smart Bill Capture creates the vendor payment bill from the forwarded PDF, with the batch reference attached for your team to schedule.

Bridge Stripe payouts to Melio reimbursements.

01Featured

Bridge merchant payouts to vendor reimbursements

Stripe payout batches are joined to the reimbursement records inside Well by date and total. The per-line breakdown becomes individual documents forwarded to Melio, so a payout that covers 30 reimbursements arrives as 30 entries you can confirm one by one, not one lump sum to chase down later.

02

Detect failed disbursements

A failed Stripe disbursement triggers a flag inside Well: the linked vendor payment is marked needs reschedule, the Stripe failure code is attached, and the workspace owner is notified with the candidate next-payment date based on your standard reschedule policy.

03

Tie chargebacks to the originating vendor bill

Chargebacks landing in Stripe are traced back to the originating vendor bill inside Well by reference and amount. The chargeback context is forwarded to Melio on the affected document, so AP can decide whether to reschedule a corrected payment or write off the loss with the original Stripe reason in hand.

04

Settle expense reimbursements weekly

Approved expense reimbursements are batched inside Well into a weekly Stripe disbursement run, paid in a single ACH window, and matched on settlement. The per-claim audit trail stays intact inside Well and on the matched documents forwarded to Melio.

    Well discovers Stripe's charges, refunds, payouts, customers, disputes, and subscription events and the the Melio Bills Inbox awaiting payment scheduling. Each payout is paired to its scheduled vendor payment by date and total; failed transfers reverse the linked payment automatically so the schedule self-corrects.

How Stripe and Melio stay secure with Well

Well connects to Stripe through its MCP server, which issues short-lived access tokens via Dynamic Client Registration. Well never holds a long-lived Stripe secret; the server refreshes its own tokens on each session. Well's storage region is configured per workspace regardless of where Stripe and Melio host theirs.

Frequently asked questions about Stripe and Melio on Well

01What Stripe data does Well pull into Melio?
Stripe streams charges, refunds, payouts, customers, disputes, and subscription events to Well over its MCP server. After Well resolves the counterparty and assigns a confidence score, the matched record posts to Melio as bills via email-in at @invoicesmelio.com, with vendor, amount, and due date populated by Smart Bill Capture, with the Stripe event ID preserved on the entry for audit.
02How often does Stripe data sync to Melio?
Stripe pushes events to Well over its MCP server, so most records land within seconds of the underlying action. Each event is matched immediately and reaches Melio within a confidence window: above 85% it posts, 55-85% queues for review, below 55% is refused.
03How does Well match Stripe records to entries in Melio?
Well scores every candidate match between Stripe records and existing Melio entries on counterparty name, amount, date proximity, currency, and reference. Above 85% the record links to the historical entry and Melio updates; between 55% and 85% the candidates are queued for sign-off; below 55% the record stays open with the candidate list available.
04How does Well prevent duplicates when posting Stripe records to Melio?
Stripe sends each event with a stable resource ID that Well tracks against the Melio ledger. Webhook replays (which Stripe can issue for delivery retries) are recognised by ID and either skipped or used to update the existing Melio entry. Distinct records that look similar are caught by Well before posting, with the candidates surfaced in the review queue when confidence is ambiguous.
05What happens if a Stripe record fails to post to Melio?
When a record fails to post to Melio (validation rule, missing field, transient 5xx), Well retries automatically with backoff. Auth failures short-circuit the retry loop and notify the workspace owner; schema rejections are kept on the integration status page with a one-click retry-after-fix action pointing back at the original Stripe record. Nothing silently drops.
06How does Well authenticate with Stripe and Melio?
Stripe's MCP server handles authorisation directly; Well receives an access token through Dynamic Client Registration and never sees raw user credentials. For the delivery side, Well forwards the reconciled document to your Melio email-in address once it clears the matching threshold; Melio creates the draft record from it and you confirm and post it. Well holds no write credential to Melio. Tokens are encrypted at rest and in transit under TLS 1.3. Stripe and Melio together cover multiple regions; Well's storage region is configured per workspace.
