Payments & Billing

Stripe Data Extractor

Vern's Stripe extractor imports a new customer's payments and billing data — invoices, customers, accounts, and transactions — into your product as reconciled, normalized tables. It's built for teams onboarding users off Stripe, so their transaction history and active subscriptions come across cleanly at signup.

Objects Vern extracts

Vern extracts the full set of queryable Stripe objects (47 total), including: Accounts, Application Fees, Application Fees Refunds, Authorizations, Balance Transactions, Bank Accounts, Cardholders, Cards, Charges, Checkout Sessions, Checkout Sessions Line Items, Coupons, Credit Notes, Customer Balance Transactions, Customers, Disputes, Early Fraud Warnings, Events, External Account Bank Accounts, External Account Cards, File Links, Files, Invoice Items, Invoice Line Items, Invoices, Payment Intents, Payment Methods, Payout Balance Transactions, Payouts, Persons, Plans, Prices, Products, Promotion Codes, Refunds, Reviews, Setup Attempts, Setup Intents, Shipping Rates, Subscription Items, Subscription Schedule, Subscriptions, Top Ups, Transactions, Transfer Reversals, Transfers, and Usage Records. 5 of these support incremental change tracking, so syncs pull only what changed.

Output schema

Normalized JSON per object with referential keys preserved, so the relationships between your user's records survive the import. Timestamps are returned in ISO 8601. Delivered as JSON or CSV, or loaded straight into your own application database or pushed to your API — whatever your product expects.

Where it can land

Your own application database (Postgres, MySQL), a direct push to your API or webhook, or JSON/CSV files, plus another payments & billing system (Bunny, Inc., Chargebee, Chargedesk) when a user is switching tools.

Source details

Built for the source type shown above, with extractor content refreshed from the collection record.

Managed by Vern

The details you normally have to build yourself.

Authentication

API key / access token. Your user pastes their Stripe API key once when they sign up; Vern stores it encrypted and attaches it to every request, handling header signing and retries so you never touch the raw credential. See Stripe's authentication guide.

Pagination

Vern detects and handles Stripe's paging model (cursor, page-number, or offset) internally and returns one consistent, de-duplicated result set — so you import a user's complete data without ever managing page tokens.

Rate limits and gotchas

Stripe enforces its own API rate limits (see Stripe's rate-limit docs). Vern queues and throttles requests internally so importing a new user's data never trips a 429 — even on a large account.

API-key sources rarely surface their true rate ceilings until you hit a 429 mid-import, and many silently cap page size. Vern throttles to stay under the limit and normalizes paging so a partial pull never lands a user in your product with missing data.

API quickstart

1. Create a migration for Stripe
curl -X POST https://app.vern.so/api/v1/migrations \
  -H "x-api-key: $VERN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "name": "Stripe → Postgres", "source": "Stripe" }'
→ { "migration_id": "mig_..." }
2. Generate the extraction recipe (pulls live via the Stripe API)
curl -X POST https://app.vern.so/api/v1/migrations/$MIGRATION_ID/runs \
  -H "x-api-key: $VERN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "kind": "generate", "extract_via_api": true }'
3. Run the approved extraction
curl -X POST https://app.vern.so/api/v1/migrations/$MIGRATION_ID/runs \
  -H "x-api-key: $VERN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "kind": "execute" }'
4. Download the normalized CSV export
curl https://app.vern.so/api/v1/migrations/$MIGRATION_ID/exports/{template} \
  -H "x-api-key: $VERN_API_KEY" -o stripe_export.csv

A cleaner way to extract without rebuilding source-specific plumbing.

Common questions

Can I keep a user's Stripe data in sync after the first import? Yes — 5 Stripe objects support incremental change tracking, so after the first full import Vern pulls only what changed on re-run.

Can I move a user from Stripe to Bunny, Inc.? Yes — Vern normalizes the Stripe data model into typed tables that map cleanly onto Bunny, Inc. and into your own product.

What does it cost to read the Stripe API? Stripe's own API access follows Stripe's pricing/plan; Vern is billed separately per import. Check Stripe's developer docs for their current limits.
