Stripe

Set up

What you need before Verlix can link your Stripe account.

Self-service setup is coming

You cannot connect Stripe from the dashboard yet. Until that ships, the Verlix team links your account for you. This page lists what to have ready, and it will grow into a full walkthrough.

What you need#

ItemNotes
A Stripe accountThe one whose events you want in Verlix
Its connected-account idStarts with acct_. Verlix uses it to read that account and to check every event it receives

What Verlix does for you#

  1. Links the account id to your Verlix tenant. A tenant has exactly one Stripe connection.
  2. For connections that use webhooks, registers a webhook endpoint on your Stripe account, subscribed to the events Verlix handles. Verlix checks for that endpoint about every 30 minutes, so it can take a little while to appear.
  3. Starts the first poll from an agreed start date, and keeps polling on a schedule. Stripe only serves about 30 days of history, so a start date older than that returns nothing extra.

After setup#

Polling begins on its first scheduled run, and webhook events follow once the endpoint exists. To see how they travel, read Data flow. To understand what a connection can report about itself, read Connection status.

Double-check the account id

Every incoming event names the account it came from, and Verlix sets aside any event that does not match the linked account. A mistyped id therefore looks like silence, not like an error.
