Connecting the Stripe integration
The Stripe integration enables Brightback to cross-check your billing system to validate any Brightback Saved or Watch List customers haven't canceled or let their accounts lapse in other ways beyond Brightback, and calculate the dollar amount in revenue saved (or lost) per customer that hits your Brightback Page. Connecting the Stripe integration is just a few simple steps, and starts by creating a restricted API key in your Stripe account for Brightback to use.
Log in to Stripe and head to Developers > API keys and click Create restricted key
You'll need to create a key with the following permissions.
Resource Type | Permissions | Connect Permissions |
Customers |

Give your Restricted key and meaningful name and enable the correct permissions from the table.
Click Create key and enter your password.
Copy the API key so you can enter it in Brightback.
In Brightback, head to Settings in the lower-left sidebar.
In Settings, find the Stripe integration under Integrations, and select Manage.
Enter your API key here.
That's it! You'll all set to use Brightback's cancel management and enrichment via the Stripe API.
Note: You'll need to repeat this process in your Sandbox app to work with Stripe's testing environment.
