# How to connect Stripe

**Who can do this:** Super Admin, Admin, or Staff with the Platform Settings permission

Stripe handles card payments and manages subscriptions.

## Before you start
You’ll need a Stripe account, and from its dashboard: your API key, publishable key, and a webhook secret.

## Steps
**Step 1:** Go to **Platform Settings > Integrations**.

**Step 3:** In **Stripe Configuration**, enter:

| **Field** | **Where to find it in Stripe** |
| --- | --- |
| **Stripe API Key** | Your secret key from the Stripe dashboard |
| **Stripe Publishable Key** | Your publishable key |
| **Stripe Webhook Secret** | The signing secret from your webhook endpoint |

**Step 4:** Click **Save**.

**Note:** The publishable key is safe to expose publicly; the API key and webhook secret are not. Make sure you’ve copied them into the right fields.
