Grok Bot + QuickBooks and Stripe: books and payments, with approvals
Connect QuickBooks Online for your books and Stripe for payments. Bots prepare summaries, invoice reminders and refund requests, and every movement of money waits on an approval card.
Setup
- Connect QuickBooks Online, available since October 11, 2026. Xero is available as a local plugin.
- Connect Stripe for payment and refund lookups. Claire Vo's support Bot requests refunds through approval cards that open a single Stripe action.
- Bots can pay with X Money or Stripe Link, and purchases always ask first. Decide whether a finance Bot should be able to buy anything at all.
- After a bank or brokerage connector returns data, the Bot asks before sharing it anywhere else.
