Stripe
Take card payments in your app with Stripe: add the Skill, configure your key, test with Stripe test cards, and go live.
Your app can take card payments with Stripe, and the money goes straight into your own Stripe account — MeDo never holds it. This is separate from what you pay MeDo for credits.
Before you start
- A Stripe account. Register at stripe.com and get your API key from the dashboard.
- A backend on your app, if the flow stores customers or orders. Ask MeDo for one; see Backend settings & keep-alive.
- Publish before taking real money. Test on the draft, then publish so customers reach a stable version. See Publishing a release.
- Credentials are per app. Copying an app does not carry the key over; configure it again in the copy.
What you can do
- Accept one-time payments from your visitors
- Build a store, a digital product page, or a paid-download page
- Charge for premium features or custom services
Example query:
“Create an online art store where users can purchase digital paintings via Stripe.”
Note: MeDo currently supports only one-time payments. Subscription-based or recurring billing is not yet supported.
Add Stripe to your app
Either ask for it in the conversation:
I want to use Stripe to collect payments in my app.
Or type @ to open the Skill picker and choose Stripe before describing what you want.
Configure your key
Once your app includes Stripe, MeDo shows a Configure Stripe button at the end of its reply. You can also open it later from the Skill view in the editor's left rail, where the app's Skills and their credentials live.
- Click Configure Stripe.
- Paste the API key from your Stripe dashboard.
- Confirm.
Use Stripe's test keys while you are building — Stripe provides test card numbers so you can complete a checkout end to end without real money. Swap in your live key when you are ready to charge customers.
Keys are stored for this app only and are masked when displayed again. Never paste a key into page content or ask MeDo to put it in the code. See Keys & data safety.
Change products or prices
Ask in the conversation:
“Update my Stripe product price from $9.99 to $14.99.”
“Rename my Stripe product from ‘Basic Plan’ to ‘Starter Plan’.”
Where to see your money
Transactions, payouts, refunds, and customer details all live in your Stripe dashboard. MeDo does not show a revenue report for your app, and it is not involved in refunds, chargebacks, or tax — those are yours to handle under Stripe's terms.
Test before you launch
- Configure a Stripe test key.
- Complete a full purchase in the preview using a Stripe test card.
- Confirm the order appears wherever your app stores it.
- Switch to your live key, publish, and make one small real purchase yourself.
