How to Accept Payments with Stripe

Want to charge for your app, sell a product, or take subscriptions? Snapp lets you connect your own Stripe account so payments go straight to you — Snapp never sits in the middle of your revenue.

The simplest way to start taking money is with a Stripe Payment Link, and this guide shows you exactly how.

How payments work in Snapp

Instead of building a complex checkout, your app opens a Stripe-hosted payment page. Your customer enters their card details on Stripe's secure domain — card data never touches your app — and Stripe handles the rest.

This is the safest, fastest way to get paid, and it works for both one-time purchases and subscriptions.

Step 1 — Create a Payment Link in Stripe

1. Sign in to your Stripe Dashboard.

2. Go to Payment Links and click Create payment link.

3. Add your product, set the price, and choose one-time or recurring (subscription).

4. Copy the generated link — it looks like https://buy.stripe.com/....

> Tip: Use a test mode link first to try the whole flow before going live.

Step 2 — Add the link to your app

1. Open your app in the builder.

2. Click the Settings (gear) icon, then open the Environment panel.

3. Click Add Stripe Payment Link.

4. Paste your Stripe link into the value field and save.

Snapp stores the link securely as STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK. Need more than one product? Add additional links and they'll be saved as STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK_2, STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK_3, and so on.

Step 3 — Add a checkout button

Back in the chat, just ask the AI to wire it up, for example:

• "Add a 'Buy now' button that opens my Stripe payment link"
• "Add a 'Subscribe' button on the pricing screen"

The AI adds a button that opens your Stripe checkout when tapped. Preview the app and test the full flow end to end.

Who gets the money?

You do. The payment goes directly to your Stripe account. Snapp doesn't take a cut of your sales — the only thing you pay Snapp for is building the app.

Common questions

Do I need to handle credit cards or PCI compliance?

No. Stripe hosts the entire checkout, so sensitive card data never reaches your app.

Can I sell subscriptions?

Yes — create a recurring Payment Link in Stripe and add it the same way.

Can I sell multiple products?

Yes. Add a separate Payment Link for each one (STRIPE_PAYMENT_LINK_2, _3, …) and ask the AI to add a button for each.

My button opens the wrong page.

Double-check you copied the Payment Link URL (buy.stripe.com/...), not a different link from your Stripe dashboard.
