How to download all your Stripe invoices at once (2026 guide)

·8 min read

If you've ever needed every invoice from your Stripe account — for your accountant, a tax return, or your own records — you've probably run into the same wall: Stripe only lets you download invoices one at a time. Click an invoice, download the PDF, go back, repeat. For a single year of activity that's hundreds of clicks and the better part of an afternoon.

This guide shows the fast way: export every Stripe invoice at once as a single ZIP of PDFs, plus a clean CSV summary, in about 30 seconds. You can try it on your own invoices for free — the first 10 are on us.

Why Stripe makes you download invoices one by one

Stripe's dashboard is built around individual transactions, not batch document export. There's a CSV export under Payments, but it has two big gaps for bookkeeping: it doesn't include the actual invoice PDFs your accountant needs, and it doesn't link to the hosted invoice documents at all.

So if you want the real PDFs — the ones that show your company details, line items and VAT — the dashboard leaves you clicking through them one by one. There is no "download all" button anywhere in the Stripe UI.

The good news

The Stripe API exposes every invoice and its hosted PDF URL. That's exactly what a tool can use to fetch them all for you — without you touching the API yourself.

The 30-second way: a read-only key

Instead of clicking, you give a tool a read-only Stripe key that can only read invoices — nothing else. Here's the whole flow:

1
Create a read-only key

One click opens Stripe with the right permission (Invoices: Read) already selected. You just hit Create and copy.

2
Paste it

We immediately fetch and show every invoice we found — filter by date, status or customer.

3
Download

One button gives you a ZIP of every PDF plus a CSV summary.

That's it. No spreadsheet gymnastics, no API knowledge, no signup to try it. Open the downloader and you'll see your invoices appear the moment you paste the key.

What you actually get in the download

Two things, ready for your accountant or your own archive. First, a CSV with one row per invoice — number, date, customer, amount and tax:

And second, a ZIP of every invoice PDF, named by date and invoice number so they sort chronologically and map straight to the rows in the CSV:

invoices_2026.zip — every PDF plus the CSV, neatly named

If you mainly care about the spreadsheet side, we go deeper on that in Export Stripe invoices to CSV for your accountant.

Is it safe to paste an API key?

Yes — as long as the key is read-only and scoped to invoices. That kind of key can't move money, can't change anything in your account, and can't read payment details beyond what's already printed on the invoice.

  • Read-only: the key can only read invoices, never write or refund.
  • Never stored: we process it in memory and discard it — unless you turn on monthly auto-export, where it's encrypted.
  • Revocable: you can delete the key in your Stripe dashboard at any moment.
Revoke when you're done

Doing a one-off export? Create the key, run the export, then revoke it in Stripe. The whole thing takes under a minute and leaves zero standing access.

Automate it: monthly auto-export

If you do this every month for bookkeeping, you can stop doing it by hand entirely. Turn on auto-export in the dashboard and last month's invoices land in your inbox as a ZIP + CSV on the 1st of each month. See the pricing for the unlimited plan that includes it.

What about other payment providers?

The same one-by-one problem exists on Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Mollie, PayPal and Square. We're rolling those out — the workflow is identical: connect a read-only key, get a ZIP plus CSV. Join the waitlist on any provider page and we'll prioritize by demand.

Try it on your own invoices
