The Scenario
You got a message from your co-founder at 8 AM: "We're launching the new pricing tiers next Monday. Are the plans in Paystack yet?" They're not. You have a sheet with 6 plan names, amounts, and billing intervals — monthly and annual across three tiers — but nothing has been pushed to Paystack.
The launch is in six days and your developer is already heads-down on the checkout integration. You don't want to hand this off.
The bad version:
- You open Paystack, navigate to Subscriptions, click Plans, and hit Create Plan.
- You fill in the plan name, enter the amount in kobo (so you multiply by 100 first), select the interval from a dropdown, and save.
- You do this for all six plans and on the fifth one realize you mixed up the annual amount for the Professional tier — it should be 1,200,000 kobo, not 120,000. You go back in and edit it.
Six plans is manageable. But once you've created them, your developer needs the plan codes to wire up the checkout — which means you're now copying plan codes out of Paystack one at a time and pasting them back into the sheet.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your pricing data and creates each Paystack plan through the API, then writes the returned plan code back into column D — so your developer has everything they need without you spending an hour in the dashboard.
Create a Paystack subscription plan for each row in this sheet using the plan name in column A, amount in column B (in kobo), and interval in column C (monthly/annually).
What You Get
- A Paystack subscription plan created for each row
- Returned plan code (e.g., PLN_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) written to column D per row
- Rows where creation fails get an error note in column D
- All 6 plans created in one run — no dropdown hunting, no manual code copying
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Amounts are in naira and need converting to kobo
Create a Paystack subscription plan for each row using plan name from A, amount from column B multiplied by 100 to convert to kobo, and interval from C — write the returned plan code to column D.
Interval values use non-standard labels in the sheet
Create a Paystack subscription plan for each row — if column C says 'yearly' treat it as 'annually', 'monthly' stays monthly — using plan name from A, amount from B in kobo, and the normalized interval. Write the returned plan code to column D.
You need a description added to each plan
Create a Paystack subscription plan for each row using plan name from A, amount in kobo from B, interval from C, and a description built from the plan name plus the word 'subscription' — write the returned plan code to column D.
Convert amounts, normalize intervals, add descriptions, and create in one shot
For each row in this sheet, multiply the amount in column B by 100 to convert to kobo, normalize interval labels in column C (yearly to annually), build a description as plan name plus 'subscription', create a Paystack plan with those values, and write the returned plan code to column D.
Running the whole thing in one prompt means your developer gets a sheet with plan codes before lunch — not after a round-trip through Slack asking you to paste them one at a time.
