Get set up

There are 2 steps:

1. Create your account in Loop (reach out to Loop at [email protected])
2. Link Loop and Stripe (directions below)

For Demo environments, make sure your Stripe account is in Test mode or you are in a Sandbox environment within Stripe before you create the API key.

Link Loop and Stripe

To link Loop and Stripe you need to create and pass to Loop a restricted API Key. Here's a quick video on the process, or you can simply follow the steps below. It should take about 2 minutes.

Create a restricted API key in Stripe

• Go to the “developer” tab in the top right corner, click on API key, and create a new “restricted” key

• Select Providing this key to another website.
• Enter the key name, Loop's website (https://www.loopcrypto.xyz/), and check Customize permissions for this key.
• By default, the key should have all the Read and Write permissions listed below, but please double check.
  • Write permissions
    • Customers
    • Products
    • Invoices
    • Prices
    • Subscriptions
    • Webhook Endpoints
    • Checkout Sessions
  • Read Permissions
    • Events
• Click Create key
• Copy the key which should start with "rk_test", encrypt it with Foxcrypt, and then email the Foxcrypt link back to us.
  • Securely send Loop this key using foxcrypt (https://foxcry.pt/). Enter the key as the message, and foxcrypt will generate a one-time URL that Loop will use to view the key.

ℹ️

Your restricted key should start with "rk_" on production and "rk_test" on Test mode.

What happens next?

Loop will then programmatically create a webhook to consume status updates from Stripe. No action is required in this step.

Some reference information about the webhook event types that Loop consumes:

• product.updated, product.deleted, product.created
  • Product fields in Stripe that we use for part of our item
• price.updated, price.deleted, price.created
  • Price fields in Stripe that we use for part of our item
• invoice.created, invoice.finalized
  • Invoice flow for creating transfers
