Integrate Stripe with Martini
Integrate Stripe with other enterprise systems by having Martini consume Stripe’s HTTPS REST APIs and receive selected Stripe webhook events through exposed services. Martini can create and retrieve Customers, PaymentIntents, Charges, Subscriptions, Invoices, Products, Prices, and other Stripe objects, then transform Stripe’s JSON payloads into canonical models for CRMs, ERP systems, databases, customer portals, or files. Workflows can use scheduled synchronization, cursor-based pagination, event reconciliation, idempotent writes, and retry handling. Martini can also validate webhook signatures, route events by type, and write transformed payment or billing data to databases, queues, files, or downstream APIs.
Common Stripe integration patterns
Common Stripe data objects used in integrations
Authentication and security considerations
API authentication
Stripe server-side REST requests generally use secret or restricted API keys. Store these credentials as Martini deployment secrets and keep test-mode and live-mode values separate. Publishable keys are intended for client-side use and should not be used for server-side administrative requests.
Webhook verification
Stripe webhook requests use an endpoint signing secret and signature header separate from API authentication. Martini webhook workflows should validate the signature against the unmodified request body before routing or processing an event.
Connect account context
Stripe Connect platforms may use OAuth and connected-account context. Preserve the connected account identifier and apply the appropriate account context consistently to API requests and event processing.
- Use restricted keys where the required resource and operation scope permits.
- Do not embed keys or signing secrets in workflow definitions or source code.
- Isolate credentials, webhook endpoints, and data namespaces by environment.
Operational considerations for Stripe integrations
Reliability and rate limits
Handle HTTP 429 responses and transient 5xx failures with bounded exponential backoff. Retain Stripe request identifiers and relevant error details for troubleshooting, and avoid unnecessary polling or large object expansions.
Pagination and reconciliation
Stripe list responses commonly include data, has_more, and cursor-based navigation. Follow starting_after or the applicable cursor and persist checkpoints for restartable synchronization. Combine webhooks with scheduled reconciliation because webhook coverage is event-type specific.
Idempotency and ordering
Use stable Stripe idempotency keys for retryable POST requests. Webhook consumers should deduplicate by event ID, tolerate duplicate and out-of-order delivery, and retrieve the current object when the event payload may not represent the latest state.
Versions and data quality
Record the Stripe API version used by each integration and test upgrades before deployment. Treat nullable fields, expandable references, enum values, and webhook event types as changeable. Store monetary amounts as integer minor units with the associated currency.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Beyond point-to-point scripts
Martini separates Stripe API access, webhook intake, transformation, business rules, and target delivery into maintainable services and workflows. This provides a clearer structure than embedding Stripe calls and downstream writes in one-off scripts.
Reliable orchestration
Martini supports event-driven and scheduled workflows, conditional routing, asynchronous execution, pagination, retry handling, and durable processing decisions. These capabilities help coordinate payment, billing, catalog, and reconciliation processes across enterprise systems.
Reusable integration services
Martini can consume Stripe’s REST API and expose usable internal services or API façades, while its data mapping and custom JVM-compatible logic support provider-specific transformations. Credentials remain managed through deployment configuration rather than application code.
- Combine webhook processing with scheduled reconciliation.
- Reuse canonical mappings across CRM, ERP, database, and reporting targets.
- Monitor failures and support controlled replay instead of manually rerunning scripts.
