Stripe Integration

The Stripe integration allows you to process payments, manage customers, create subscriptions, and control your financial transactions directly from myGPT.

Overview

Stripe is a leading platform for online payments. With the myGPT integration, you can:

Create and manage customers
Process payments and create payment intents
Set up subscriptions for recurring payments
Create and manage invoices
View transaction history

Setup

The Stripe integration requires an API key for authentication.

Activation Steps:

Create API Key:
- Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
- Navigate to Developers → API Keys
- Create a restricted API key with only the required permissions
Configure in myGPT:
- Select the Stripe tool in your assistant
- Enter your API key in the format Bearer sk_test_... or Bearer sk_live_...
- Save the configuration

Security Notes

Use restricted API keys: Limit permissions to the minimum required
Test vs. Live mode: Use test keys (sk_test_) for development and testing
Key rotation: Change your API keys regularly
Verify URL: Ensure connection is made to https://mcp.stripe.com
