Recommended Read scopes
When creating your restricted key in Stripe, we recommend enabling only read scopes (and nothing with “write”). The scopes below are recommended for most users. If you need additional scopes you can also add them now or later by editing your key.
Core Revenue & Payments
Balance: Read → lets you see account balance, payouts, and transfers.
Charges: Read → needed for payments received (sales transactions).
Refunds: Read → allows reporting on refunds (amounts, frequency, impact).
Disputes: Read → captures chargebacks/contested charges.
Customer & Subscription Data
Customers: Read → so ExtendInsights can attribute payments to customers.
Invoices: Read → essential for recurring billing and subscription revenue.
Invoice Items: Read → line-level detail for invoices.
Subscription Schedules & Subscriptions: Read → for ARR/MRR analysis.
Plans/Products/Prices: Read → to map subscriptions to your catalog.
Payouts & Transfers
Payouts: Read → track when Stripe sends money to your bank.
Transfers: Read → if you ever use Connect or move funds internally.

Next Steps
💡 Tip
Stripe commonly refers to date fields as "created" so as you build out your query and add fields look for "created" instead of date.
