Hi there,  
I am working on a new plugin that involves talking to the Stripe API. I have tested in Postman without any issues, but in Bubble I keep getting a response from Stripe like the following…

> Raw response for the API  
> "{\n "error": {\n "type": "invalid\_request\_error",\n "message": "Invalid request (check that your POST content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded)

I have tried setting the Header key with **Content-Type** , **content-type** , **Content-type** - all without joy.

Would appreciate any help.  
Thanks  
Adam

Ok. So the issue wasn’t with the content-type. I was seeing parameters that needed to be done in the JSON body instead of as parameters.
