Hi @judagutor 

That would involve front end scripting, whereas Zaps utilize back end (app to app) scripting.

I can’t get this to work.  I think it has something to do with the way that I’m formatting the “Basic Auth” field.  I am just copying and pasting my STRIPE TEST SECRET KEY into the BASIC AUTH field and I get this error:

Failed to create a request in Webhooks by Zapier
The app returned "You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'). See https://stripe.com/docs/api#authenti...". You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'). See https://stripe.com/docs/api#authentication for details, or we can help at https://support.stripe.com/.

 

 

 


 

@djryanash 

Make sure to include the trailing pipe |

 

Or try using the header as indicated

 

Wow - that solved it. Thanks.  So easy for you. :)

I just have a question related to the Step 3: POST Stripe API to create Prices.

Does anyone know how to create a price that allows Customer to choose a custom value? I looked it up and it says we could use custom_unit_amount but it always give me error of:
