# 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.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: STRIPE EXTENSIONS
All Stripe connections created before December 10, 2024 used Stripe extensions, which Stripe sunset on January 1, 2025.
Migrate extension-based connections to Stripe Apps (opens new window) to avoid disruptions. Refer to the Stripe Apps migration guide for detailed migration steps.
# API version
The Stripe connector uses the Stripe REST API v1 (opens new window). This API offers a comprehensive set of tools and functionalities that help platforms and marketplaces manage and route payments, in addition to verifying seller identities.
# Connection setup
The Stripe connector supports the following authentication types:
LIMITATIONS
Stripe allows only one connection per Stripe account and Stripe App pair. When you create a new App-based Stripe connection for the same Stripe account, it invalidates the tokens of any existing App-based connections for that account, making them inactive. However, if the connection is linked to a different Stripe account, existing connections remain unaffected.
This limitation doesn't impact pre-existing extension-based Stripe connections in Workato, which can coexist with App-based connections.
