What it is and what it does
dj-stripe is a Django package that mirrors Stripe's payment infrastructure into your database as Django models. Instead of querying Stripe's API every time you need payment data, you set up a webhook endpoint and dj-stripe automatically creates and updates local Django model instances whenever Stripe events occur. This gives you queryable, relational access to Stripe objects like Customers, Charges, Subscriptions, and Payment Intents.
The package covers Stripe's core payment features, billing, cards, payment methods with SCA support, and partial Stripe Connect support. It's designed for Django applications that need to work with Stripe data in their own database—useful for reporting, filtering, joining with local data, or avoiding repeated API calls. It requires Django >=5.0, Python >=3.11, and a supported database backend.
Use it for
- Store Stripe customer and subscription data locally so you can query and filter it without hitting Stripe's API repeatedly.
- Build Django admin interfaces to view and manage Stripe objects (customers, charges, invoices) alongside your own models.
- Generate reports or analytics on payment history by joining Stripe data with your own application data.
- Implement webhook handlers that react to Stripe events and update your application state in a single transaction.
- Support multi-account or multi-API-key scenarios where you manage Stripe data for multiple organizations.
