Connect your Stripe account

You can connect Stripe to Flowtly as a read-only bank source. Once connected, your Stripe payouts and charges sync into Flowtly automatically and reconcile against your invoices.

What you get

• Automatic syncing of your Stripe payouts and charges into Flowtly.
• Automated reconciliation of your Stripe transactions against your invoices within Flowtly.

Security: read-only only

Flowtly connects to Stripe using a restricted, read-only API key, stored encrypted. It can read your transactions but can never create charges, issue refunds, or move money.

How to connect

1. In your Stripe dashboard, go to Developers → API keys → Create restricted key.
2. Give the key read permissions for balance and balance transactions, and no write permissions.
3. Copy the restricted key (it starts with rk_).
4. In Flowtly, open your finance settings and add the Stripe connection using that key.
5. Your Stripe transactions will start appearing in Flowtly and reconciling automatically.

Example use cases

• Monitor Stripe transaction activity: View all incoming payments and outgoing payouts from Stripe directly within Flowtly.
• Automate invoice reconciliation: Automatically match your Stripe charges to the corresponding invoices recorded in Flowtly.
• Streamline financial record-keeping: Consolidate your Stripe-related financial movements with other bank data for a complete financial overview.
