DEPRECATION NOTICE: STRIPE EXTENSIONS

All Stripe connections created before December 10, 2024 use Stripe extensions, which Stripe plans to sunset on January 1, 2025. To avoid disruptions due to this change, migrate your existing connections to Stripe Apps (opens new window) before this date.

Key dates:

• December 10, 2024: All new Stripe connections in Workato will use Stripe Apps.
• January 1, 2025: Stripe extensions will be sunset.

Refer to the Stripe Apps migration guide to update your existing connections and ensure a smooth transition.

Stripe (opens new window) provides a fast and secure payment processing platform with low- and no-code configuration options. Stripe allows you to accept payments, send payouts, and automate financial processes. For example, a B2B business can use Stripe to collect one-time or recurring payments from customers.

API version

Workato's Stripe connector uses the Stripe REST API v1 (opens new window). This API offers a comprehensive set of tools and functionalities that help platforms and marketplaces manage and route payments, in addition to verifying seller identities.

Connection setup

Workato supports two methods for authenticating to Stripe: API key or Authorization code grant.

LIMITATIONS

Stripe allows only one connection per Stripe account and Stripe App pair. When you create a new App-based Stripe connection for the same Stripe account, it invalidates the tokens of any previously connected App-based Stripe connections for that account, making them inactive. However, if the connection is linked to a different Stripe account, existing connections remain unaffected.

This limitation does not impact pre-existing extension-based Stripe connections in Workato, which can coexist with App-based connections.

API key

Complete the following steps to connect Workato to Stripe using an API key:

1

Navigate to Developers dashboard > API keys to manage your API keys.

Provide the test mode secret key if you plan to access test mode data. Otherwise, use the live mode secret key to access actual account data.

Authorization code grant
