On paper the path is simple: someone sees an ad, visits the site and books. In real life they search twice, read reviews and come back days later on a different phone. Each tool sees only its own piece.

Shared between the two: the customer email address.
What customer journey mapping uses from each
Customer journey mapping needs the order of events for one person.
From Stripe that means the first charge date and every charge after it. From Mailchimp it means the campaigns each subscriber clicked.
Mailchimp is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Stripe on its own
Stripe knows the payment, the amount and the customer's email. It has no record of the ad, search or email that brought the customer in.
Timing. Stripe records each charge, refund and failed payment as it happens. Payouts land on a schedule days later, so charge date and payout date differ.
Access. A restricted, read-only Stripe API key, or Stripe Connect.
Mailchimp on its own
Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.
Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
