What the Stripe integration does

Stripe is a finance or commerce platform used by finance and commerce teams to manage customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes. In Beam, it becomes a controlled action point: agents can retrieve the context they need, make an approved update, and hand unusual cases to a person. The exact objects and permissions depend on the connector configuration, so use the capability evidence in the migration record when defining a workflow.

How Beam agents use Stripe

A workflow starts with an event such as a payment, subscription, or dispute changes status. The agent checks customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes in Stripe, applies the workflow rule, performs the permitted update, and records the result. If the data is incomplete or the requested action falls outside the connector's permissions, the agent routes the case for review instead of guessing.

Example workflows

• When a payment, subscription, or dispute changes status, a Beam agent reads customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes in Stripe, updates the next record, and routes exceptions to the responsible owner.

• When a workflow request arrives, a Beam agent retrieves customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes from Stripe, applies the agreed rule, and records the outcome for finance and commerce teams.

• After a status, approval, or delivery event changes, a Beam agent checks customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes in Stripe, sends the next notification, and leaves an auditable handoff.

Operational value

• Fewer manual handoffs between Stripe and the systems around it.

• A clearer audit trail for customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes and exception handling.

• More consistent movement from a payment, subscription, or dispute changes status to the next owner or system.

Before you build

Confirm the supported customers, payment intents, invoices, subscriptions, and disputes, authentication scopes, and availability for your Beam workspace. Keep exception handling explicit: the agent should pause and route a case when required data or permissions are missing.
