Create a Stripe resource
Learn how to connect a Stripe account to Retool.
You can connect a Stripe account and make it available as a resource in Retool. Once complete, your users can write queries that interact with Stripe data.
Requirements
To add Stripe as a resource, you need:
- Sufficient user permissions to add resources.
- Configuration settings for Stripe.
User permissions
All users for Retool organizations on Free or Team plans have global Edit permissions and can add, edit, and remove resources.
For organizations subscribed to the Business or Enterprise plan that manages user permissions, you must be a member of a group with Edit all permissions for resources.
Configuration settings
You must provide the following settings to connect Stripe to Retool. For more information on obtaining these settings, refer to the Stripe documentation.
| Setting | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| API key | Yes | A secret or restricted API key with sufficient privileges. |
1. Create a new resource
Sign in to your Retool organization and select the Resources tab, then click Create new > Resource. Retool provides built-in integrations for a variety of popular data sources to get started quickly, including Stripe. Select the Stripe integration to start configuring the new resource.
2. Configure Stripe resource settings
Set the name and folder for the new Stripe resource. Use a descriptive name to distinguish between other Stripe resources you may use. Retool displays the name and the resource type in query editors to help users identify them.
Configure all required settings for Stripe to provide Retool with access to your data source. You may need to configure optional settings if Stripe requires them.
Click Test Connection to verify that Retool can connect to Stripe with the provided credentials. If the test fails, check your credentials and try again. Testing a connection only checks whether Retool can successfully connect to the resource. It cannot check whether the provided credentials have sufficient privileges or can perform every supported action.
3. Save the resource
Once finished, click Create resource to complete the setup. You can click Create app to start building a new Retool app or Back to resources to return back to the Resources tab.
Wrap up
Your Stripe resource is now ready to use. To interact with Stripe data, select the newly added resource in the query editor.
