Stripe

Connect Stripe to your Rocket.new app - accept payments, subscriptions, and donations with a single prompt.

Stripe handles credit cards, subscriptions, invoices, and one-time payments. Connect it to Rocket and describe the payment flow you want in chat. Rocket generates the complete checkout experience: pricing pages, payment forms, webhook handlers, and subscription management.

Stripe works best paired with Supabase for user accounts and Resend or SendGrid for order confirmation emails. Rocket links Stripe customers to authenticated Supabase users.

What you can use it for

SaaS subscription billing

Monthly or yearly plans with automatic billing, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellation.

One-time product checkout

Sell digital products, courses, templates, or physical goods with a simple checkout flow.

Accept donations

One-time or recurring donations with preset or custom amounts.

Multi-product checkout

Cart-based checkout with multiple line items, quantities, and a single Stripe payment session.

Quick start

1. Get your Stripe keys

   Go to the Stripe Dashboard and copy your Secret key and Publishable key. Start with Test mode keys for development.

2. Connect in chat

   Open any Rocket project and type:

   Connect Stripe and add a $49 one-time checkout for my product.
   

   Paste your keys when prompted. Rocket builds the checkout flow instantly.

3. Test the payment

   Use Stripe’s test card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 with any future expiration date and any 3-digit CVC.

Detailed setup

Get your Stripe keys

Open Stripe’s Keys documentation to learn how to create and manage your API keys.

Stripe provides two types of keys:

Key type	Prefix	Usage
Publishable key	pk_	Safe to use on the client side
Secret key	sk_	Must be kept confidential, used on the server side

Keys exist in two modes:

Mode	Purpose
Test mode	Safe development and testing
Live mode	Production, real payments

Always start with your Test keys, then switch to Live keys before going live.

Never paste your Stripe keys directly into Rocket chat. Always use the secure integration flow or the API key input in settings. If you believe your Secret key has been exposed, rotate it immediately from the Stripe Dashboard.

Connect Stripe to Rocket

Web Browser

There are two ways to connect Stripe:

Method 1: Use Rocket chat (fastest)

In any project, open the chat panel and type:

• Connect my Stripe account to create a one-time checkout for my $29 eBook.
• Connect Stripe and add a monthly Premium plan for $10.

A popup appears where you can paste and save your keys.

Method 2: From Connectors

In the preview toolbar, click the ... button and select Connectors. Click the Stripe card.

When you connect Stripe from Connectors, Rocket does not automatically create payment flows. After saving your keys, describe the payment flow you want in chat.

Paste your Secret and Publishable keys into the fields and click Save. A green dot appears next to Stripe when the connection is active.

Update or disconnect

Click the Stripe integration again. Replace the existing keys or click Disconnect to remove it.

Prompt cookbook

Copy-paste these prompts after connecting Stripe to build common payment flows:

Use case	Prompt
Simple checkout	Add a Stripe checkout for my $49 product with a success page.
Subscription plans	Create a pricing page with Free, Pro ($19/mo), and Enterprise ($99/mo) tiers using Stripe.
Donations	Add Stripe donation buttons with $5, $10, $25, $50 options and a custom amount field.
Free trial	Add a 14-day free trial to the Pro plan. Charge $19/month after the trial ends.
Invoices	Generate and email a PDF invoice to the customer after each Stripe payment.

Refund flow UI	Add a "View Orders" page with order history. Include a link to the Stripe customer portal where users can manage billing.
Usage-based billing	Track API calls per user and charge $0.01 per call using Stripe metered billing.

Tips and limitations

• Always start with Test mode keys. Switch to Live keys only when you are ready to accept real payments. Test card: 4242 4242 4242 4242.
• Supabase is required. Rocket links Stripe customers to Supabase user accounts. Connect Supabase before connecting Stripe.
• Webhooks are handled automatically. When you describe a payment flow in chat, Rocket sets up the necessary webhook handlers for events like checkout.session.completed and customer.subscription.updated.
• Stripe dashboard for refunds and disputes. Refunds, disputes, and detailed financial reporting must all be managed from the Stripe Dashboard. Rocket does not process refunds directly.
• One set of Stripe keys per project. Each Rocket project connects to a single set of Stripe API keys. You can use the same Stripe account across multiple projects.
