Use Stripe restricted key

Use this method when you want to connect Stripe without OAuth.

Requirements

Use a Stripe restricted key only — rk_....

Do not use secret keys — sk_....

Match mode and key prefix: Test uses rk_test_...; Live uses rk_live_....

Grant read access to accounts, customers, subscriptions, products, prices, invoices, and events.

Save restricted key

1. Open Settings → Stripe Account Connection.
2. Click Change Stripe Connection.
3. Select Use Stripe restricted key.
4. Select mode — Test or Live.
5. Paste the key and click Save Restricted Key.

Remove restricted key

1. Stay in Use Stripe restricted key.
2. Select the mode.
3. Click Remove Restricted Key.

Note

If OAuth credentials are available for that mode, SubscriptionMonitor can switch back to OAuth after the restricted key is removed.

Common validation errors

Mode does not match key: the selected mode and the key prefix are different.

Secret key not allowed: key starts with sk_.

Missing permissions: key cannot read accounts, customers, subscriptions, products, prices, invoices, and events.
