Stripe is now generally available as a new data source in Sequin, allowing developers to implement a real-time, two-way synchronization between Stripe and their databases, thereby centralizing billing information. This integration simplifies Stripe's integration process by reducing reliance on frequent API requests and complex caching strategies for subscription or invoice status checks. By storing billing data directly in the database, developers can manage, scale, and customize their Stripe integrations more efficiently, enabling the creation of custom billing solutions, subscription plans, and management tools. This advancement transforms Stripe interactions from complex API calls into straightforward SQL queries, enhancing app development beyond just building dashboards.
