COSTNERVE INTEGRATION

What to check in the provider dashboard

  1. Open the Stripe usage and billing dashboard; this guide does not imply live CostNerve ingestion.
  2. Compare account, product, transaction over equal, complete periods.
  3. Keep usage, estimates and invoice amounts separate. Record the scope, currency and last update.
  4. Check integration coverage before connecting; use available connectors for supported evidence.
