1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Stripe with MySQL, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This powerful platform enables seamless automation between different applications. You can create a free account in just two minutes, which allows you to test various automation tasks.

Once logged into your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you will name your workflow, such as ‘Sync Stripe Customers with MySQL Database Automatically’. After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect interface, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select Stripe as your trigger application.

• Select ‘New Charge’ as the trigger event in Stripe.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Stripe dashboard and navigate to the Developer section.
• Add the copied webhook URL as an endpoint in Stripe.

After adding the endpoint, select the event ‘Charge Succeeded’ to ensure that payments trigger data transfer to MySQL. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for successful payments in Stripe.

3. Testing the Integration with Dummy Payments

To verify that your Pabbly Connect setup works correctly, make a dummy payment using the Stripe dashboard. Fill out the payment form with test details, including a dummy email and a card number for testing.

As soon as the payment is successful, Pabbly Connect will capture the payment details. You will see various data points, including customer information and payment amounts. Ensure that this data is correctly fetched by Pabbly Connect.

• Check for customer details like name, email, and address.
• Look for the payment status to confirm it is ‘Charge Succeeded’.

This test confirms that the connection between Stripe and Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended, allowing data to flow in real time.

4. Inserting Data into MySQL with Pabbly Connect

After confirming the connection, the next step is to insert the captured payment details into your MySQL database using Pabbly Connect. Select MySQL as the action application and choose the ‘Insert Row’ action event.

Connect to your MySQL database by entering your database details such as username, password, and host. Once connected, select the table where the payment details will be stored. You can map the fields from the Stripe payment data to the respective columns in your MySQL table.

Map customer name, email, and other relevant details. Ensure the product price is correctly formatted by dividing it by 100 to avoid extra zeros.

Once all fields are mapped, your Pabbly Connect workflow is set to automatically insert data into MySQL whenever a new charge is made in Stripe.

5. Finalizing and Automating the Workflow with Pabbly Connect

Finally, review your Pabbly Connect setup to ensure all connections and mappings are correct. After saving your workflow, you can test it by making another dummy payment to confirm that the data is inserted into MySQL as expected.

Once confirmed, you can relax knowing that Pabbly Connect will handle all future payments automatically. This integration allows you to sync Stripe customers with your MySQL database in real-time without manual intervention.

By setting up this automation, you can focus on growing your business while Pabbly Connect takes care of the backend processes. This integration is efficient and reliable for maintaining customer records.
