Connect Stripe in 5 simple steps
Create or sign in to Stripe
Sign in to your Stripe dashboard, or create an account for free. This is the account your earnings are paid out to.
Open StripeCopy your live secret key
In your Stripe dashboard, open Developers → API keys. Switch to Live mode and copy your secret key — you'll paste this into Senvow.
Make sure you're in Live mode (not Test) and copy the Secret key — it starts with 'sk_live_'. Treat it like a password: only ever paste it into Senvow's payment setup, and never share it with anyone else.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Stripe account to sell shop items?
Yes — a free Stripe account lets Senvow route each order's payment straight to you. Setting one up takes only a few minutes.
Does Senvow take a cut of each order?
Senvow takes no commission on your orders. Stripe charges its own standard payment-processing fee on its side, and everything after that goes straight into your account. Cash and on-site collection stay free.
Where does the money from shop orders go?
Straight into your own Stripe account when the buyer pays. Senvow never holds your funds.
Can I sell some items for cash and others online?
Yes. Each product can be set to online card, cash or in-person, or both — so you choose how guests pay for every item.
Where do I find my Stripe secret key?
In your Stripe dashboard under Developers → API keys. Switch to Live mode and copy the secret key (it starts with 'sk_live_'), then paste it into Senvow's payment setup.
