Connect your own Stripe account so payments your supporters make there show up in Konduit as tips, with an alert and in your revenue. You paste one restricted API key; Konduit creates the webhook on your Stripe account itself, so there is no URL to copy into Stripe.
This card is for money your supporters send you. It is not where you manage your Konduit plan.
Before you start
- Sign in to Konduit. Setting up the webhook goes through your Konduit account.
- In the Stripe Dashboard, open "Developers", then "API keys", and create a restricted key. Konduit uses the key to create its webhook on your account and to look up your Stripe account ID, so the key needs to be able to manage webhook endpoints. Test connection checks that the key can reach your account.
- Use a restricted key only. Konduit refuses a full secret key and a publishable key.
Set it up
- Open Integrations and find the Stripe card.
- Click Connect. The card's Advanced panel opens.
- Paste your key into Restricted API key (paste from Stripe → Developers → API keys).
- Click Test connection. Konduit checks the key with Stripe. Your account ID shows under Stripe account ID once it is known.
- Under Event types to subscribe (all checked by default), leave all four boxes checked: Charge succeeded, Invoice paid, Checkout session completed and Delayed payment succeeded. Keep Invoice paid on: a payment made through an invoice or a supporter subscription is only counted through it.
- Click Subscribe to webhooks. Konduit creates the webhook on your Stripe account and shows its address under Webhook URL (Konduit-generated after subscribe). The card reads Connected.
Refunds and disputes are always subscribed as well. A refund or chargeback takes the tip back out of your revenue and loyalty, and a won dispute puts it back. They never fire an alert. If you connected Stripe before this was added, click Subscribe to webhooks once more to add them.
What you'll see
- Each paid payment counts once as a tip in your revenue and fires a tip alert.
- Payments for your own Konduit plan never show up as tips.
- A Ko-fi card tip that Ko-fi charges through your Stripe account is counted once, not twice.
- The panel shows when the last webhook arrived, or No webhook events received yet.
- The On-stream alerts switch on the card turns Stripe alerts off without stopping the counting.
Stripe keeps working on the free plan. See plans and the free plan.
If it doesn't work
- Konduit refuses the key: paste the restricted key, not the secret key or the publishable key.
- Subscribe to webhooks fails: check the key is allowed to write webhook endpoints, then try again.
- To disconnect, click Permanently revoke access in the Advanced panel. Konduit deletes the webhook it created on your Stripe account and its saved key. Connecting again creates a new webhook.
- More help: merch or payments missing.
