Examples

SSIS

Use Stripe Connector in API Source component to read data or in API Destination component to read/write data:

Insert into Customers table using API Destination

This EndPoint belongs to Customers table, therefore you cannot work with it directly. Use this table and table-operation pair instead:

Stripe
Customers
Insert
SSIS API Destination - Access table operation
