App Manifest Reference

The stripe-app.json manifest file is the central configuration for your Stripe App. It declares your app’s identity, permissions, UI views, security policies, and post-install behavior.

Caution

Status: planned, not built. Tajo has no Stripe App, so nothing in this section can be installed today. The app identifiers, URLs and credentials on this page are illustrative placeholders, not live endpoints.

Schema Reference

Top-Level Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	Unique app identifier in reverse domain notation (slug format)
`version`	string	Yes	Semantic version string (e.g., `"1.2.0"`)
`name`	string	Yes	Display name shown in the marketplace (max 35 characters)
`icon`	string	Yes	Relative path to the app icon file (300x300 PNG or SVG)
`distribution_type`	string	Yes	`"public"` for marketplace or `"private"` for internal use
`sandbox_install_compatible`	boolean	No	Whether the app can be installed in sandbox/test mode
`stripe_api_access_type`	string	No	API access method: `"oauth"` or `"api_key"`
`allowed_redirect_uris`	string[]	No	Allowed OAuth redirect URIs for install flow
`permissions`	PermissionRequest[]	Yes	Array of permission requests
`ui_extension`	UIExtensionManifest	No	UI extension configuration
`post_install_action`	PostInstallAction	No	Action to take after app installation
`constants`	object	No	Key-value pairs accessible in the app at runtime

id

The app identifier is a slug-format string, typically in reverse domain notation:

"id": "com.tajo.brevo-integration"

Must be globally unique across all Stripe Apps
Use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and dots only
Cannot be changed after the app is created
Determines the app’s URL on the marketplace

version

Follows semantic versioning:

"version": "1.2.0"

MAJOR: Breaking changes or significant feature additions
MINOR: New features, backward compatible
PATCH: Bug fixes and minor improvements
Must be incremented for each upload

distribution_type

Controls who can install your app:

Value	Description
`"public"`	Available on the Stripe App Marketplace to all users
`"private"`	Only installable by your own Stripe account

stripe_api_access_type

Determines how your app authenticates with the Stripe API:

Value	Description
`"oauth"`	Uses OAuth 2.0 flow for authentication (recommended for public apps)
`"api_key"`	Uses restricted API keys (suitable for private apps)

PermissionRequest

Each permission request declares a specific Stripe API permission your app needs:

{
  "permission": "customer_read",
  "purpose": "Read customer profiles to sync with Brevo contacts"
}

Field	Type	Required	Description
`permission`	string	Yes	The permission identifier (see Permissions Reference)
`purpose`	string	Yes	Human-readable explanation of why this permission is needed

Purpose guidelines:

Write clear, specific explanations that merchants can understand
Explain what the permission is used for, not just what it grants
Keep descriptions concise (one sentence)
Avoid technical jargon

UIExtensionManifest

Configures the UI components of your app:

{
  "ui_extension": {
    "views": [...],
    "content_security_policy": {...}
  }
}

Field	Type	Required	Description
`views`	ViewManifest[]	Yes	Array of view declarations
`content_security_policy`	CSPRequest	No	Content Security Policy for external resources

ViewManifest

Each view maps a React component to a Stripe Dashboard viewport:

{
  "viewport": "stripe.dashboard.customer.detail",
  "component": "CustomerDetailView"
}

Field	Type	Required	Description
`viewport`	string	Yes	The Dashboard location where this view renders (see Viewports Reference)
`component`	string	Yes	Name of the React component to render (must match the exported component name)

A single app can declare multiple views for different viewports:

"views": [
  {
    "viewport": "stripe.dashboard.customer.detail",
    "component": "CustomerDetailView"
  },
  {
    "viewport": "stripe.dashboard.payment.detail",
    "component": "PaymentDetailView"
  },
  {
    "viewport": "stripe.dashboard.home.overview",
    "component": "OverviewView"
  }
]

CSPRequest

The Content Security Policy controls which external domains your app can connect to:

{
  "content_security_policy": {
    "connect-src": [
      "https://api.example.com",
      "https://api.brevo.com"
    ],
    "image-src": [
      "https://cdn.example.com"
    ],
    "purpose": "Connect to Tajo API for data sync and load images from CDN"
  }
}

Field	Type	Required	Description
`connect-src`	string[]	No	Domains the app can make network requests to
`image-src`	string[]	No	Domains the app can load images from
`purpose`	string	Yes	Explanation of why these external connections are needed

Caution

Only include domains that your app actually needs to connect to. Excessive CSP entries may trigger additional review scrutiny.

PostInstallAction

Configures what happens immediately after a user installs your app:

{
  "post_install_action": {
    "type": "onboarding"
  }
}

Field	Type	Required	Description
`type`	string	Yes	The action type (see below)
`url`	string	Conditional	URL for `external` type actions

Action Types

Type	Behavior
`"onboarding"`	Opens the app’s onboarding view in the Dashboard
`"settings"`	Opens the app’s settings view in the Dashboard
`"external"`	Redirects the user to an external URL (requires `url` field)

Examples:

// Open onboarding flow
{
  "post_install_action": {
    "type": "onboarding"
  }
}

// Open settings page
{
  "post_install_action": {
    "type": "settings"
  }
}

// Redirect to external setup
{
  "post_install_action": {
    "type": "external",
    "url": "https://app.tajo.io/stripe/setup"
  }
}

See the Post-Install Actions guide for detailed implementation patterns.

Constants

Define static key-value pairs accessible at runtime in your app:

{
  "constants": {
    "API_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com/v1",
    "SYNC_INTERVAL_SECONDS": "300",
    "MAX_BATCH_SIZE": "100"
  }
}

All values must be strings
Constants are embedded in the app at build time
Use constants for configuration that varies between environments
Never store secrets or API keys as constants, use the Secret Store API instead

Access constants in your app code:

import { constants } from '@stripe/ui-extension-sdk/constants';

const apiUrl = constants.API_BASE_URL;

Extended Manifest for Development

During local development, additional fields are available:

{
  "id": "com.tajo.brevo-integration",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "name": "Tajo for Brevo (Dev)",
  "icon": "./assets/icon-dev.png",
  "distribution_type": "private",
  "sandbox_install_compatible": true,
  "dev": {
    "hot_reload": true,
    "port": 4242
  }
}

The dev section is stripped during production builds and app uploads. Use it for local development convenience settings only.

Validation

Validate your manifest before uploading:

# Validate manifest syntax and schema
stripe apps validate

# Check for common issues
stripe apps check

Common validation errors:

Error	Cause	Fix
`Invalid permission`	Unknown permission identifier	Check the Permissions Reference
`Invalid viewport`	Unknown viewport identifier	Check the Viewports Reference
`Missing purpose`	Permission without purpose field	Add a purpose string to each permission
`Invalid version`	Non-semver version string	Use format `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
`Icon not found`	Icon path doesn’t resolve	Verify the icon file exists at the specified path
