# Stripe

Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/stripe-payment-provider · Last modified 21 August 2026

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

1.  Sign in to your [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/).
2.  Go to **Developers > API keys**.
3.  You can use the **Standard Keys** or create a set of **Restricted Keys**.

4.  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.

## Step 2: Configure Stripe as a payment provider in StoreConnect

1.  Open StoreConnect and go to **Settings > Payments > Payment providers**.
2.  Select **New**. The Payment provider information window opens.
