Connect Stripe

Paste a Stripe secret key so automations can react to payments and manage customers and invoices.

Stripe connections use a secret API key. Automations can react to payment events (new payment, new customer, failed invoice) and create or look up customers and invoices.

Get the key

  1. In the Stripe dashboard, open Developers → API keys.
  2. Copy the Secret key (sk_live_…), or click Create restricted key for a tighter scope — grant read on the objects your triggers watch (Charges, Customers, Invoices, Subscriptions), write on the ones your actions create, and Webhook Endpoints: write (triggers register their own webhook endpoints through the API).
  3. Building or testing? Use test mode keys (sk_test_…) first — the integration behaves identically against test data.

Paste it into Tyrbo

Choose a Stripe trigger (New Payment, New Customer, Payment Failed, …) or action (Create Customer, Create Invoice, Search Customer), click New connection, and paste the key into the Secret API Key field. Tyrbo validates the key against Stripe before saving.

Notes

  • Never paste publishable keys (pk_…) — they can't call the APIs the integration uses.
  • Triggers are delivered via Stripe webhooks that Tyrbo registers for you; no dashboard webhook setup is needed.
