Connect Stripe

2 auth methods · updated 2026-10-01

Stripe connects two ways: a key you create yourself, or Stripe's own sign-in. Both give Verslay read access to what you approve. Start with a restricted key or a test-mode key if you only want to try it.

Before you start

For the key route: your Stripe secret key, which starts with sk_live_ (or sk_test_ in test mode). Not the publishable pk_ key.
Keys live at dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys. Use a Restricted key (least privilege) rather than the full secret key when you can.
Test mode keys (sk_test_) connect safely for evaluation. Swap to live keys when you are ready.

API key

Uses your own credential — Verslay stores it encrypted

Connectable today

1
Sign in to Stripe
Open https://stripe.com and sign in to the account you want to connect.
2
Create the API key
Generate a new API key from the API or developer settings in your Stripe dashboard.
3
Copy it immediately
Stripe usually shows the full API key only once, right after you create it. Store it somewhere safe before closing the page.
4
Connect in Verslay
In the Verslay Hub, open Connections, find Stripe, and paste the API key into the API Key field.
5
Verify
The connection flips to Connected. Run any read-only action once to confirm the credential has the right scopes.
6
Rotate safely
When you rotate later: connect the new credential first, confirm it works, then revoke the old one.

Keys live at dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys. Use a Restricted key (least privilege) rather than the full secret key when possible.
Test mode keys (sk_test_…) connect safely for evaluation — swap to live keys when you’re ready.

If it does not connect

Verslay rejects my key.: Check it is the secret key (sk_live_ or sk_test_), not the publishable pk_ key. Copy it again from dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys.
I lost the key after creating it.: Stripe usually shows a full key once. Create a new one, connect it, confirm it works, then revoke the old one.

Stripe connection FAQ

Should I use a restricted key or the full secret key?

Use a restricted key when you can. It gives the least privilege that still works. Stripe's own dashboard at dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys is where you create it.

Can I try Verslay with Stripe test mode?

Yes. Test mode keys (sk_test_) connect safely for evaluation. Swap to live keys when you are ready.

API key or OAuth?

OAuth opens Stripe's official sign-in and Verslay only gets the scopes you approve. The key route uses your own credential, which Verslay stores encrypted.

How do I rotate the key later?

Connect the new credential first, confirm it works, then revoke the old one.
