PAYMENT RECEIPTS
LOGGED.

ParseHook automatically extracts amount, customer, and transaction ID from payment confirmation emails. Stripe, PayPal, Square, Gumroad — every processor sends receipts in a different format, and ParseHook reads all of them into consistent JSON.

QUESTIONS

Does ParseHook work with Stripe, PayPal, and Square?

Yes. ParseHook uses AI, not templates. It handles Stripe, PayPal, Square, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, and any processor that sends email receipts.

Can I use this alongside the Stripe API?

Yes. ParseHook is useful when you receive payments through platforms where you do not control the checkout. It bridges the gap between email notifications and your data layer.

How do I avoid processing duplicate payments?

ParseHook extracts transaction IDs. Store them in your database and check for duplicates before processing each webhook payload.

How fast is payment receipt data delivered?

Within 5 seconds from when the email hits your inbox to webhook delivery, allowing you to trigger instant access or fulfillment workflows.

Can ParseHook handle multiple currencies?

Yes. The AI extracts the exact numerical amount and identifies the correct currency code (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) present in the receipt.

What if a payment fails or is refunded?

ParseHook extracts the payment status (e.g., succeeded, failed, refunded). Your webhook handler can branch logic based on this status to trigger the correct downstream actions.

Do I need to maintain templates if PayPal changes their email design?

No. ParseHook uses template-free AI extraction, meaning layout changes by payment processors are handled automatically without any maintenance on your end.

Does it extract taxes or processing fees?

Yes, if the receipt breaks down taxes or processing fees, ParseHook extracts them as discrete fields within the JSON payload.
