Before you begin
Connecting Stripe
To connect Stripe:
- Click Add-ons in the sidebar.
- Find Stripe under Connections and click Connect.
- Fill in the fields below.
- Click Connect.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Name | A name you will recognize, like Stripe. |
| Identity namespace | Your website or app, like yourshop.com. Use the same one for every tool that belongs to the same site or app. |
| Restricted API key | Your key, starting with rk_live_. |
Once connected, your whole history comes in, so your numbers fill in straight away. After that, Link Studio checks for new sales every few seconds while people are on your site, and once a minute when it’s quiet.
Crediting sales to your links
For a sale to land on the right link, your checkout needs to pass along the visit. Open Connect checkout to your funnel in the Stripe connect form. It lists exactly what to add, and your developer or AI agent can set it up in a few minutes.
Disconnecting Stripe
On the Add-ons page, click Disconnect on the Stripe card and confirm. Stripe stops syncing until you connect it again.
