Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Visit stripe.com and click 'Start now' or 'Create account'
- Enter your email address and create a secure password
- Verify your email address by clicking the link Stripe sends you
- You'll start in 'Test mode' which is perfect for setup and testing
💡 Tip: Use your business email address for the account to keep things organized.
- In your Stripe Dashboard, click 'Activate your account' or go to Settings > Account details
- Select your business type (Individual/Sole proprietor for most content creators)
- Enter your legal business name and address
- Provide your Tax ID (SSN for individuals, EIN for businesses)
- Add your bank account information for receiving payouts
💡 Tip: You can start in Test mode without completing verification, but you'll need to verify before accepting real payments.
- In Stripe Dashboard, go to Products > Add product
- Enter a name (e.g., 'Pro Subscription') and description
- Add an image for your product (optional but recommended)
- Click 'Add pricing' and select 'Recurring' for subscriptions
- Set your price (e.g., $9.99) and billing period (Monthly or Yearly)
- Save the product and note the Price ID (starts with 'price_')
💡 Tip: Create both monthly and yearly pricing options to give customers flexibility and potentially increase revenue with annual plans.
- In Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > API keys
- You'll see two keys: Publishable key (pk_) and Secret key (sk_)
- For testing, use the test keys (they start with pk_test_ and sk_test_)
- For live payments, use the live keys (pk_live_ and sk_live_)
- Keep your Secret key private—never share it or put it in frontend code
💡 Tip: The Publishable key can be used in frontend code, but the Secret key must only be used on your server.
- Open your Manus project dashboard
- Navigate to Settings > Secrets (or Integrations)
- Add a new secret called 'STRIPE_SECRET_KEY' with your Secret key
- Add another secret called 'STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY' with your Publishable key
- If you have Price IDs, add them as 'STRIPE_PRICE_ID_MONTHLY' etc.
- Save your changes—the website will automatically use these credentials
💡 Tip: Start with test keys to verify everything works, then switch to live keys when you're ready to accept real payments.
- With test keys active, go to your website's pricing page
- Click the subscribe button and complete the checkout
- Use Stripe's test card: 4242 4242 4242 4242 (any future date, any CVC)
- Check your Stripe Dashboard > Payments to see the test payment
- Verify the customer was created and subscription is active
💡 Tip: Test different scenarios: successful payments, declined cards (use 4000 0000 0000 0002), and subscription cancellations.
- Ensure your Stripe account verification is complete
- In your Manus project, update the Stripe keys to live keys
- Create the same products in live mode (or copy from test mode)
- Update any Price IDs in your secrets to the live versions
- Make a small real payment to verify everything works
- Monitor your first few transactions in the Stripe Dashboard
💡 Tip: Keep your test environment separate so you can continue testing new features without affecting live payments.
