Subscriptions vs Invoices

Last updated: 25 March 2025

By default, SaaSGrid combines subscription revenue data with non-subscription payments from Stripe for full visibility into revenue. However, if you only use Stripe for sending invoices, you will have to do some additional mapping for SaaSGrid to successfully convert those to MRR.

  1. Navigate to Organization Data on the bottom left and then to Data Sources. Select your Stripe Data Source.

  2. Navigate to the Settings tab and then select Non-Subscription Items on the right-hand panel.

  3. For each Stripe Product, select how SaaSGrid should treat revenue from the product.  SaaSGrid will recognize the revenue based on the following methodology:

    Revenue Mapping

  4. Categorize your Products accordingly and click Save.
