Build Plaid forms with Paperform

Connect bank accounts and retrieve balances, transactions, identity and investment data through Plaid.

Paperform connects to Plaid directly through Stepper workflows.

Orders taken in your form can sync with Plaid, alongside your store, shipping and fulfilment.

How Plaid connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 22 Plaid actions and 5 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a Plaid step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Plaid
