Stripe (metered billing)

Pull-based usage source — Plutus fetches on a schedule, unlike the push-based usage ingestion API.

What Plutus imports

Section titled “What Plutus imports”
  • Metered usage by Billing Meter, broken down by customer

Connecting

Section titled “Connecting”

Method: Restricted API Key

  1. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > API keys.
  2. Click Create restricted key.
  3. Grant Read access to Billing and Customers. No other permissions are needed.
  4. Copy the key and paste it into the Restricted API Key field on the connection form.

Plutus pulls usage from every active Billing Meter, broken down by customer, on a schedule.

A restricted key scoped to read-only Billing/Customers access is strongly preferred over your full secret key.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”

This pulls your own end-customers’ metered usage (Stripe Billing Meters), not what Stripe charges you. To track Stripe’s own processing fees as a cost instead, connect the separate “Stripe” cost source.
