The Payment Methods stream previously sync data from Treasury flows. This version will now provide data about customers' payment methods.

We bumped this in a minor version because we didn't want to pause all connection, but still want to document the process of moving to this latest version.

  • The stream Payment Methods will now provide data about customers' payment methods.
  • The stream Payment Methods now incrementally syncs using the events endpoint.
  • customer field type will be changed from object to string.
  1. Select Connections in the main navbar.
    1. Select the connection(s) affected by the update.
  2. Select the Replication tab.
    1. Select Refresh source schema.
    2. Select OK.
Any detected schema changes will be listed for your review.
  1. Select Save changes at the bottom of the page.
    1. Ensure the Reset affected streams option is checked.
Depending on destination type you may not be prompted to reset your data.
  1. Select Save connection.
This will reset the data in your destination and initiate a fresh sync.

For more information on resetting your data in Airbyte, see this page.

The Refunds stream previously did not sync incrementally correctly. Incremental syncs are now resolved, and the Refunds stream now receives the correct updates using the events endpoint. This version resolves incremental sync issues with the Refunds stream.

  • The stream Refunds cursor changed from the field created to updated when syncing incrementally.
  • The stream Refunds now incrementally syncs using the events endpoint.
  1. Upgrade the Stripe connector by pressing the upgrade button and following the instructions on the screen.
info

The following migration steps are relevant for those who would like to sync Refunds incrementally. These migration steps can be skipped if you prefer to sync using Full Refresh.

The stream Refunds will need to be synced historically again to ensure the connection continues syncing smoothly. If available for your destination, we recommend initiating a Refresh for the stream, which will pull in all historical data for the stream without removing the existing data first and update your destination with all data once complete. To initiate a Refresh:

  1. Navigate to the connection's Schema tab. Navigate to the Refunds stream.
  2. Update the Refunds stream to use the Incremental | Append + Dedup sync mode. This ensures your data will sync correctly and capture all updates efficiently.
  3. If your stream already has a sync mode of either Incremental | Append + Dedup or Incremental | Append, simply update the cursor from created_at to updated_at.
  4. Save the connection.
  5. Review the prompt to Refresh the Refunds stream. Select Refresh and retain records to ensure any data no longer found in Stripe is retained in your destination.
  6. Confirm the modal to save the connection and initiate a Refresh. This will start to pull in all historical data for the stream.
note

If you are using a destination that does not support the Refresh feature, you will need to Clear your stream. This will remove the data from the destination for just that stream. You will then need to sync the connection again in order to sync all data again for that stream.

This change fixes multiple incremental sync issues with the Refunds, Checkout Sessions and Checkout Sessions Line Items streams:

  • Refunds stream was not syncing data in the incremental sync mode. Cursor field has been updated to "created" to allow for incremental syncs. Because of the changed cursor field of the Refunds stream, incremental syncs will not reflect every update of the records that have been previously replicated. Only newly created records will be synced. To always have the up-to-date data, users are encouraged to make use of the lookback window.
  • CheckoutSessions stream had been missing data for one day when using the incremental sync mode after a reset; this has been resolved.
  • CheckoutSessionsLineItems previously had potential data loss. It has been updated to use a new cursor field checkout_session_updated.
  • Incremental streams with the created cursor had been duplicating some data; this has been fixed.

Stream schema update is a breaking change as well as changing the cursor field for the Refunds and the CheckoutSessionsLineItems stream. A schema refresh and data reset of all effected streams is required after the update is applied.

Also, this update affects three more streams: Invoices, Subscriptions, SubscriptionSchedule. Schemas are changed in this update so that the declared data types would match the actual data.

A major update of most streams to support event-based incremental sync mode. This allows the connector to pull not only the newly created data since the last sync, but the modified data as well. A schema refresh is required for the connector to use the new cursor format.
