Auto-Print Stripe Receipts to Your Office Printer (5-Minute Setup)

If your business charges customers via Stripe, every successful payment generates a receipt email. Some go to the customer; some come back to your billing inbox; many are forwarded to AP or filed against orders. The right place for those receipts is on a printer in your office, not in someone's inbox waiting to be remembered.

Here's the setup.

What Receipts Stripe Sends

Two receipt streams matter here:

1. Customer receipts — emailed to the customer's email after a successful payment. You can BCC yourself or your billing inbox.
2. Internal payment notifications — Stripe sends these to your team when payments succeed/fail, when subscriptions renew, etc. Configure these under Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Email.

For auto-printing, you want stream #1 routed to a billing inbox you control. Stripe lets you BCC any address on customer-facing receipts via the Dashboard → Settings → Email → "Successful payments" → "Send a copy to...".

Once you have those receipts arriving at a controlled inbox, auto-print is the rest.

Step 1: Configure Stripe to BCC Your Billing Inbox

1. Stripe Dashboard → Settings → Email customers (or Public details).
2. Find "Successful payments" and "Refunds."
3. Add your internal billing address to BCC (e.g., billing@yourcompany.com).
4. Save.

From now on, every customer payment receipt also lands in your billing inbox.

Step 2: Install AutoPrintEmail

Download for your OS. Free 3-day trial.

Step 3: Connect the Billing Inbox

Add Account → connect via Gmail/Outlook OAuth or IMAP for any other provider.

Pick the Inbox folder (or a specific Stripe-receipts folder if you have a Gmail filter pre-routing them).

Step 4: Add the Filter Rule

• From contains: stripe.com
• Subject contains: receipt (or payment received)
• Has attachment: no (Stripe receipts are usually inline HTML, not attached PDFs)
• Action: Print email body to [your printer]

If you'd rather print the PDF version of the receipt, change the Stripe receipt template to include a PDF attachment (Dashboard → Settings → Email → enable PDF receipts), then change the rule to "has attachment: yes" and "action: print attachment."

Step 5: Test

Make a real or test payment. The receipt will email to your billing inbox; AutoPrintEmail will print it within a minute.

Common Setups

Print only completed payments, not refunds

Add a second filter rule for refunds with action = "log only" or with action = "print to a separate refunds tray." Default rule (above) handles successful payments.

Filter by amount (only print payments over $X)

Add a subject-contains filter for the dollar threshold (Stripe receipts include the amount in the subject). Useful if you only want printed copies of large transactions.

Multi-business: separate Stripe accounts

If you operate multiple businesses with separate Stripe accounts, all receipting to one billing inbox: create separate filter rules per business, route each to a different printer if needed. AutoPrintEmail's per-rule printer routing handles this cleanly.

TL;DR

1. Stripe Dashboard → BCC billing@yourcompany.com on receipts.
2. Install AutoPrintEmail.
3. Connect the billing inbox.
4. Filter: From contains stripe.com, Subject contains receipt, Action: Print body.
5. Test with one payment.

After this, every Stripe payment receipt prints automatically. Stop manually triaging Stripe email.
