MX Lookup API + Stripe Integration

Why connect them

The MX Lookup API in Stripe.

Stripe is the leading payment infrastructure for the internet. Integrating APIs with Stripe enables enhanced fraud prevention, customer validation, and payment intelligence. Protect your revenue with data-driven payment workflows.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Validate customer emails before processing subscriptions

Check customer locations against payment addresses for fraud detection

Enrich customer profiles with data for better risk assessment

Verify business information for B2B payment processing

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New payment received Look up MX records → flag if no records

Check customer domains on payment

When a Stripe payment comes in, look up MX records for the customer's email domain. Flag payments where the mx array is empty.

New subscription created Look up MX records → tag customer

Verify subscriber domains on signup

Look up MX records for new Stripe subscriber email domains. Tag customers based on the primary mx exchange hostname.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Stripe as the trigger app and "New payment" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the MX Lookup API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Stripe action for "Create charge" and map the returned fields (like domain) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Stripe module set to "New payment". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/mxlookup with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Stripe module for "Create charge". Map fields like data.domain into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Stripe trigger node for "New payment" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/mxlookup using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Stripe node for "Create charge" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.domain }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
