# Next generation Data Pipeline

Access real-time Stripe data with a direct mapping to the Stripe API.

Stripe Data Pipeline allows you to sync real-time Stripe API data to an external destinations (currently only Google Sheets).

## How it works 

Data Pipeline (next gen) continuously streams your Stripe data to your configured destinations. When any data changes in your Stripe account—a new payment, a subscription update, a customer change—the updated information appears in your connected destinations in real time.

Because the data schema is a direct mapping to the public Stripe API, you can reference the [API documentation](https://docs.stripe.com/api.md) to understand the structure and fields available in your synced data.

## Google Sheets destination 

For the initial launch, Data Pipeline (next gen) supports **Google Sheets** as a destination. When you enable this feature, Stripe creates a Google Sheet in your Google account that you maintain full ownership over. The sheet updates in real time as your Stripe data changes.
