Stripe

The Stripe connector lets you perform insert, delete, update, and read operations on Stripe dataset.

Before you begin

Before using the Stripe connector, do the following tasks:

  • In your Google Cloud project:
    • Ensure that network connectivity is set up. For information about network patterns, see Network connectivity.
    • Grant the roles/connectors.admin IAM role to the user configuring the connector.
    • Grant the following IAM roles to the service account that you want to use for the connector:
      • roles/secretmanager.viewer
      • roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor

      A service account is a special type of Google account intended to represent a non-human user that needs to authenticate and be authorized to access data in Google APIs. If you don't have a service account, you must create a service account. For more information, see Creating a service account.

    • Enable the following services:
      • secretmanager.googleapis.com (Secret Manager API)
      • connectors.googleapis.com (Connectors API)

      To understand how to enable services, see Enabling services.

    If these services or permissions have not been enabled for your project previously, you are prompted to enable them when configuring the connector.

  • For information about creating a Stripe account, see Create Stripe Account or Create an account and learn how to start using Stripe.

Configure the connector

Configuring the connector requires you to create a connection to your data source (backend system). A connection is specific to a data source. It means that if you have many data sources, you must create a separate connection for each data source. To create a connection, do the following steps:

  1. In the Cloud console, go to the Integration Connectors > Connections page and then select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Go to the Connections page

  2. Click + Create New to open the Create Connection page.
  3. In the Location section, choose the location for the connection.
    1. Region: Select a location from the drop-down list.

      For the list of all the supported regions, see Locations.

    2. Click Next.
  4. In the Connection Details section, complete the following:
    1. Connector: Select Stripe from the drop down list of available Connectors.
    2. Connector version: Select the Connector version from the drop down list of available versions.
    3. In the Connection Name field, enter a name for the Connection instance.

      Connection names must meet the following criteria:

      • Connection names can use letters, numbers, or hyphens.
      • Letters must be lower-case.
      • Connection names must begin with a letter and end with a letter or number.
      • Connection names cannot exceed 49 characters.
    4. Optionally, enter a Description for the connection instance.
    5. Optionally, enable Cloud logging, and then select a log level. By default, the log level is set to Error.
    6. Service Account: Select a service account that has the required roles.
    7. Optionally, configure the Connection node settings:

      • Minimum number of nodes: Enter the minimum number of connection nodes.
      • Maximum number of nodes: Enter the maximum number of connection nodes.

      A node is a unit (or replica) of a connection that processes transactions. More nodes are required to process more transactions for a connection and conversely, fewer nodes are required to process fewer transactions. To understand how the nodes affect your connector pricing, see Pricing for connection nodes. If you don't enter any values, by default the minimum nodes are set to 2 (for better availability) and the maximum nodes are set to 50.

    8. Account Id: The ID of the Account that you want to use.
    9. Use proxy: Select this checkbox to configure a proxy server for the connection and configure the following values:
    • Proxy Auth Scheme: Select the authentication type to authenticate with the proxy server. The following authentication types are supported:
      • Basic: Basic HTTP authentication.
      • Digest: Digest HTTP authentication.
    • Proxy User: A user name to be used to authenticate with the proxy server.
    • Proxy Password: The Secret manager secret of the user's password.
    • Proxy SSL Type: The SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server. The following authentication types are supported:
      • Auto: Default setting. If the URL is an HTTPS URL, then the Tunnel option is used. If the URL is an HTTP URL, then the NEVER option is used.
      • Always: The connection is always SSL enabled.
      • Never: The connection is not SSL enabled.
      • Tunnel: The connection is through a tunneling proxy. The proxy server opens a connection to the remote host and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy.
    • In the Proxy Server section, enter details of the proxy server.
      1. Click + Add destination.
      2. Select a Destination Type.
        • Host address: Specify the hostname or IP address of the destination.

          If you want to establish a private connection to your backend system, do the following:

  5. Optionally, click + ADD LABEL to add a label to the Connection in the form of a key/value pair.
  6. Click Next.
  • In the Authentication section, enter the authentication details.

    The Strip connection supports the API Key type authentication. Select the Secret Manager secret for the API key from the API Key drop-down, and then select the corresponding secret version.

  • Click Next.
  • Review: Review your connection and authentication details.
  • Click Create.
  • Connection configuration samples

    This section lists the sample values for the various fields that you configure when creating the Stripe connection.

    Entities, operations, and actions

    All the Integration Connectors provide a layer of abstraction for the objects of the connected application. You can access an application's objects only through this abstraction. The abstraction is exposed to you as entities, operations, and actions.

    • Entity: An entity can be thought of as an object, or a collection of properties, in the connected application or service. The definition of an entity differs from a connector to a connector. For example, in a database connector, tables are the entities, in a file server connector, folders are the entities, and in a messaging system connector, queues are the entities.

      However, it is possible that a connector doesn't support or have any entities, in which case the Entities list will be empty.

    • Operation: An operation is the activity that you can perform on an entity. You can perform any of the following operations on an entity:

      Selecting an entity from the available list, generates a list of operations available for the entity. For a detailed description of the operations, see the Connectors task's entity operations. However, if a connector doesn't support any of the entity operations, such unsupported operations aren't listed in the Operations list.

    • Action: An action is a first class function that is made available to the integration through the connector interface. An action lets you make changes to an entity or entities, and vary from connector to connector. Normally, an action will have some input parameters, and an output parameter. However, it is possible that a connector doesn't support any action, in which case the Actions list will be empty.

    System limitations

    The Stripe connector can process 6 transactions per second, per node, and throttles any transactions beyond this limit. By default, Integration Connectors allocates 2 nodes (for better availability) for a connection.

    For information on the limits applicable to Integration Connectors, see Limits.

    Use the Stripe connection in an integration

    After you create the connection, it becomes available in both Apigee Integration and Application Integration. You can use the connection in an integration through the Connectors task.

    • To understand how to create and use the Connectors task in Apigee Integration, see Connectors task.
    • To understand how to create and use the Connectors task in Application Integration, see Connectors task.
