# Function: createStripeDestination()

> **createStripeDestination**\<`TTags`>(`options`): `Destination`\<`TTags`>

Defined in: [stripe-destination.ts:69](https://github.com/narevai/ai-billing/blob/main/packages/stripe/src/destination/stripe-destination.ts#L69)

Creates a Destination that ingests billing events into Stripe Meters.

**Identity:** Reads `stripe_customer_id` from BillingEvent.tags. When it is missing or falsy,
a warning is logged (`No identity found in tags. Skipping event.`), but execution continues: the
destination still builds the payload and calls Stripe. The payload field is set with
`String(identity)`, so a missing tag becomes the literal string `"undefined"`, not a skipped request.

**Cost:** The meter payload always includes `value` from BillingEvent.cost via
costToNumber. The implementation uses non-null assertion on `event.cost`; callers should pass
a defined BillingEvent.cost. If `cost` is omitted, runtime behavior is undefined and may throw
when converting.

## Type Parameters

## Returns

`Destination`\<`TTags`>

A destination function that sends events to Stripe.
