Stripe
On this page
Stripe is a popular third party payment provider. If you use Stripe, you can integrate it directly with StoreConnect. Stripe works for:
- Standard checkout transactions
- Subscription and recurring payments
- Express checkout (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Stripe Link)
- Pre-authorization
- 3D Secure (3DS) authentication
What you need
- A Stripe account
- A publishable key and secret key from your Stripe Dashboard
Step 1: Get Stripe credentials
- Sign in to your Stripe Dashboard.
- Go to Developers > API keys.
- You can use the Standard Keys or create a set of Restricted Keys.
- Copy the Publishable key and Secret key.
Use test mode keys (pk_test_... / sk_test_...) for sandbox testing and live mode keys (pk_live_... / sk_live_...) for production. StoreConnect detects the mode automatically from the key type — no separate sandbox/production switch is required.
