Raw data only. Stripe lands as warehouse tables. It is not modeled in
sm_transformed_v2, dashboards, or Uni yet.SourceMedium only ever reads from your connected platforms. It does not create, change, or delete anything, so create the key with read-only access wherever the platform offers it. Treat it like a password: keep it confidential and avoid sharing it over email or in spreadsheets. If the credential is rotated or revoked, follow this guide’s connection method to update SourceMedium.
What data syncs
Charges, customers, invoices, and subscriptions, depending on the key’s scopes.Notes
- Stripe in SourceMedium is a commerce payment source. It is listed under Ecommerce & Subscription, not Finance.
