Integrate Stripe
What is Stripe?
Stripe is an electronic payment processor. This means that it supports the electronic transfer of money from a customer's bank account into a seller’s bank account, as payment for goods or services bought with a credit card. Integrating Stripe with Partnero allows you to monitor and record your customers' purchases.

Add customer key to stripe metadata
Whenever you record transactions for a customer using Stripe, it's important to inform Partnero about which specific customer you're referring to. We use a customer key at Partnero to uniquely identify each customer, and this key can be any value that you use to identify them on your platform.
If you created the customer record using our Partnero API, then the key you passed as the customer object's key would be used.
To accomplish this, we look for the customer_key in the Stripe metadata. In the Partnero modal, you'll find an example of how this could be implemented on your back-end. Please keep in mind that your implementation may vary depending on how your product interacts with Stripe.
For more information on how to add metadata to Stripe, please refer to the Stripe documentation.
