This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Stripe driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Stripe/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Connecting to Stripe

You can optionally set the following to refine the data returned from Stripe.

• AccountId: Set this to the Connected Account Id which you would like to get data for. To get the account Id, navigate to the stripe dashboard and click on connected accounts from the left hand menu. You can get the account id from the connected accounts list.

Authenticating to Stripe

Stripe supports both the OAuth authentication standard, and authenticating with an API Key.

Live API Key

Set the AuthScheme to APIKey. From the Stripe dashboard, navigate to Developers --> API keys --> Secret key --> Reveal live API Key and set LiveAPIKey to this value.

OAuth

InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken. .

AuthScheme - Set this to OAuth.

CData embeds an OAuth application into the driver so you can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. When you connect, the driver opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process. For more information on the Embedded Credentials or information on creating a custom OAuth application, refer to our Using OAuth Authentication guide.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Stripe"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
