How to Track One-Time Donors and New Recurring Subscriptions in Stripe

A step-by-step guide on filtering invoices to find one-time donors and using the subscription shortcut to track new recurring sign-ups in Stripe

This guide walks you through how to identify one-time donors using invoices and track down brand-new recurring subscriptions.

⚠️ It is important to note that Stripe may change its interface over time. At Indiegraf, we do our best to keep this knowledge accurate, but it may not be a perfect reflection of Stripe. 

Part 1: Finding One-Time Donors

To get a clean count of your one-time donors, you will need to filter out recurring subscription data from your invoices screen.

  1. Navigate to the Invoices screen.
  2. Change the frequency filter to One-off invoices.

    Why? Choosing "subscription invoices" will pull a mix of both new and ongoing recurring payments. Selecting "one-off" ensures you only see standalone donations.

  3. Change the invoice status filter to Paid. This ensures you are only counting successfully completed transactions.
  4. Set the Created dates filter to your specific reporting window (e.g., the last 30 days) and click Apply.

The resulting total item count reflects your total number of new one-time donors for that specific timeframe.

Part 2: Finding New Recurring Subscriptions

If you want to track regular recurring subscriptions that were newly initiated during a specific window, use the Subscriptions shortcut.

  1. Navigate to the Subscriptions shortcut or menu.
  2. Filter by Created date to isolate your target window (e.g., the last 30 days).
  3. Click Apply.

This will generate a list showing only the subscriptions that officially started within that date range. You can click into individual entries to verify their start dates if needed.
