# Stripe

> Connect Stripe to Basedash Warehouse, sync data automatically, and explore it with AI dashboards, chat, and scheduled insights.

The Stripe connector syncs your Stripe data into [Basedash Warehouse](https://basedash.com/docs/data-sources/warehouses/basedash-warehouse.md), where you can chart it, chat with it, and add it to dashboards like any other data source.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only admins can add data sources. SaaS connectors run on Fivetran and are available on Basedash Cloud only, not on self-hosted deployments.

## Connect Stripe

Stripe connects with a restricted API key instead of a sign-in form.

1. In Stripe, open **Developers** → [API keys](https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys).
2. Create a **restricted key**, not a standard secret key. Grant read access to the objects you want to analyze, or read access to everything.
3. Copy the key. It usually starts with `rk_live_`.
4. In Basedash, go to the **Data** page and select **Add data source**.
5. Search for **Stripe**, open it, and select **Connect**.
6. Paste the key into **Restricted API key**.
7. To also sync data from your Stripe connected accounts, turn on **Sync connected accounts**.
8. Select **Add Stripe**. Basedash starts the first sync, and when it finishes, the Stripe tables appear on the **Data** page.

The key is used only to sync Stripe data into your Basedash Warehouse. The first sync backfills historical data, so it can take longer than later syncs.

## Manage the sync

Open the connector from the **Data** page to see its status and synced tables. Admins can change these settings:

* **Enabled:** turn off to pause all syncs, and turn back on to resume.
* **Sync frequency:** how often Basedash checks Stripe for new data, from every 15 minutes to every 24 hours. New connectors sync every hour.
* **Sync now:** starts a sync right away.
* **Synced tables:** choose which schemas, tables, and columns sync, and use **New data** to decide what happens when Stripe adds new ones. Save your changes to apply them.
* **Access:** choose who can see this connector's tables. See [data source access control](https://basedash.com/docs/administration/data-source-access-control.md#connectors-in-basedash-warehouse).

To stop syncing and remove the connector, select **Delete connector**.

## Connector details

* **Fivetran status:** Generally available
* **Tables and sync behavior:** the [Fivetran Stripe documentation](https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/applications/stripe) lists the tables this connector syncs and how it handles deleted records.

## FAQ

> [accordion] Why a restricted key instead of a secret key?
>
> A restricted key limits Basedash to read access on the objects you choose. A
> standard secret key can also create charges and change your account, which a
> sync doesn't need.

> [accordion] How often does Stripe data sync?
>
> Every hour by default. Admins can change **Sync frequency** to anything from
> every 15 minutes to every 24 hours, or select **Sync now** to sync right
> away.

> [accordion] Can I pause syncing?
>
> Yes. Turn off **Enabled** in the connector's settings, and turn it back on
> to resume. Syncing also pauses if your organization's trial ends without a
> paid plan. Upgrade to resume it.

> [accordion] Where does my Stripe data live?
>
> In Basedash Warehouse, a warehouse that Basedash manages for you. Each
> connector syncs into its own schema. You can also [view the warehouse
> credentials](https://basedash.com/docs/data-sources/warehouses/basedash-warehouse.md#accessing-your-warehouse-credentials)
> to query the data from other tools.
