Connecting to the Stripe connector
Overview
Stripe is an online payment processing platform that offers payment processing software and API to manage flow of funds for e-commerce websites and mobile applications. You can use Skypoint's built-in connector for importing data from Stripe. Our platform collects, analyzes, and provides a solution to transform data into meaningful information for generating valuable insights.
Prerequisite
- You have a stripe account and credentials such as API Key. Each API user has credentials that must be used to authenticate requests.
To import Data using the Stripe connector
- In the left pane, go to Dataflow > Imports.
The Dataflow window appears.
- Click New Dataflow to create dataflow.
- Enter a Name to identify your Dataflow.
Note
Name starts with a letter. Use letters and numbers only. No spaces between letters.
- Click Next.
Add Stripe Connector
- In the All categories or Services and apps tab, select the stripe connector to start the configuration.
- Also, you can use the Search function to find the stripe connector.
- In the Set dataflow name page, enter the Display Name to identify your dataflow.
- In the Description box, you can enter an explanation of the connector.

To configure Stripe
Follow the below steps to configure the connection to Stripe:
- Enter the Api Key to configure with the Stripe connector. For details about the API key, click API reference.
- Click Connect.
- You can enter the Table Details to process the data.
After configuration, it lists down all the tables in the Table Details that are part of the connector. For a single table, it displays by default (this information is client connector specific and what tables that given connector supports) on successful connection. However, for multiple tables, you can mark only those tables that you want to import and process the data. For example, to import customer data, you can check those tables which contain customer information, such as name, email, address, and contact details.
