Map the amount received from Stripe to the Number Formatter. Use the operation to divide the amount by 100 to get the actual value. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the Number Formatter is functioning correctly.

This step is crucial as it prepares the payment amount for accurate logging in Google Sheets, ensuring that the values captured are formatted correctly.

Once the mapping is complete, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the data is logged correctly. If successful, you will see a new entry in your Google Sheets, confirming that the integration is working seamlessly.
