Hello,

i come back here because i want to use the integration with Stripe that could be great and have been reading this [Stripe - Developer guide](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/integrations/stripe)

I have added the stripe secret key, and added integration in the `forest-admin.js`.  
I actually had to run `npm install stripe` ( you should add this to the documentation)  
Nothing more has to be done according to the docs and i deployed my new backend.

But nothing has been added in the dashboard of the `user`, nothing as i can see on the tutorial.

What more should i do ?

Hello @Jules_Truong 👋

Can you share the content of your file `middleware/forestadmin.js` (erase your secrets if they are visible) and the content of your model that includes the Stripe id ?

@anon15528774 Just that you know, i have no warning in the logs,

It also seems like your types does not include `integrations` entry in the LianaOptions definition.

Hi Jules

I’ll setup a test project and check out what happens

Hello @anon39940173 ,

I’m confused, i’m trying to understand how your repo [GitHub - ForestAdmin/forest-express-sequelize: 🌱 Express/Sequelize agent for Forest Admin to integrate directly to your existing Express/Sequelize backend application.](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/forest-express-sequelize) works, but can’t find anything about `integrations` options in the source code.

Yes I got it.

It is possible that our documentation is not up to date as I don’t see anything wrong in the code samples that you sent.

That is why, I’m creating a test project to check that everything works the way it should in my end before using more of your time for debugging

I understand your question only now

The code in inside of the forest-express repository, which is a dependency of forest-express-sequelize

Hello again

I’ve been testing with my sample project.  
I noticed that when the `apiKey` is undefined, the behavior is the exact same than you are describing.

Can you add the following code above your call to `app.use()` ?  
`console.log('apiKey', process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY)` and check that the key is defined on your end?

(do not post a screenshot containing your API key here if it is defined)

Yes, there is a apiKey defined. Its my testKey for the staging env and prodKey for the production env.  
Also, yes the mapping should be correct, ( @see my first post )

Hello Jules

I’m working on improving parameter validation on forest-express, hoping that you get logs to indicate the issue.

I’ll release a new forest-express-sequelize version shortly

Hello again

The [PR is done, and waiting for review](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/forest-express/pull/893).  
It should help detecting misconfiguration errors in the future.

In the meantime, could you do a last check for me?  
We checked your project configuration, and we do see the stripe collections there!

Is the issue that

- the stripe collections are not showing at all?
- or the stripe collections are always empty?

You should navigate to User \> Details, like in the following screenshot

Hello, some news here !

I don’t know how because i’ve been running every commands possible but something added `stripe_*` in the schema.json file.  
And this seems to work now.

Thanks anyway for the help and the PR , i believe this will help you debugging it next time.
