NOTE
The Stripe source is in beta. Read the terms and conditions in the sources overview for more information on using beta-labeled sources.

Read the following tutorial to learn how to ingest your payments data from Stripe to Adobe Experience Platform using the Flow Service API.

Get started

This guide requires a working understanding of the following components of Experience Platform:

  • Sources: Experience Platform allows data to be ingested from various sources while providing you with the ability to structure, label, and enhance incoming data using Experience Platform services.
  • Sandboxes: Experience Platform provides virtual sandboxes that partition a single Experience Platform instance into separate virtual environments to help develop and evolve digital experience applications.

Authentication

Read the Stripe overview for information on how to retrieve your authentication credentials.

Using Experience Platform APIs

For information on how to successfully make calls to Experience Platform APIs, see the guide on getting started with Experience Platform APIs.

Connect Stripe to Experience Platform

Follow the guide below to learn how to authenticate your Stripe source, create a source connection, and create a dataflow to bring your payments data to Experience Platform.

Create a base connection

A base connection retains information between your source and Experience Platform, including your source’s authentication credentials, the current state of the connection, and your unique base connection ID. You can explore and navigate files from within your source using the base connection ID. Additionally, you can identify the specific items you wish to ingest, including details on the data types and formats of those items.

To create a base connection ID, make a POST request to the /connections endpoint while providing your Stripe authentication credentials as part of the request body.

API format

POST /connections

Request

The following request creates a base connection for Stripe:

curl -X POST \
  'https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/flowservice/connections' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
  -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
