# Stripe
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 Stripe REST API (opens new window). Stripe's set of APIs and tools help platforms and marketplaces manage and route payments and verify seller identities.
# Connection setup
Workato supports two methods for authenticating to Stripe: API key or Authorization code grant.
# API key
Complete the following steps to connect Workato to Stripe using an API key:
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.
Refer to Stripe's documentation (opens new window) to learn more about API keys.
# Authorization code grant
Complete the following steps to create a Stripe connection in Workato.
Provide a Connection name that identifies which Stripe instance Workato is connected to.

Click Connect. Stripe's login window opens and prompts you for your credentials.
Log in to your Stripe account and approve the connection.
# Locate Stripe Customer ID

Log in to your Stripe account.
Click Customers in the left-side navigation menu.
Select the customer you plan to use from the Customers table.
