What is Stripe?
Direct Answer: Stripe bot, operated by Stripe, pushes real-time event data to customers' webhook endpoints.

Why track Stripe traffic?
Identify and classify unknown crawler activity. Stripe may appear in your live traffic data with varying frequency. Tracking its behavior helps you decide whether to allow, throttle, or block it based on actual data.
Protect your crawl budget. Every bot request consumes server resources. Understanding what Stripe crawls helps you prioritize the crawlers that matter.
Log Verification
To verify Stripe traffic in your live traffic data:
- Search access logs for the user-agent strings listed above
- Check if the IP addresses match documented ranges (if provided by Stripe)
- Verify the crawl pattern matches documented behavior
- Use reverse DNS lookup for additional verification if available
