Payments And Stripe

Connect Stripe so Cofounder can support payment operations, reporting, and a clean engineering handoff for product billing changes.

Where To Add Stripe Keys

Add Stripe from Settings > Payments.

Org admins can add:

  • the Stripe test publishable key
  • the Stripe test secret key
  • the Stripe live publishable key
  • the Stripe live secret key

Cofounder verifies the keys before treating Stripe as connected. You can add test keys, live keys, or both. Keep test and live credentials separate, and review any action that affects real payments or customers.

What Cofounder Can Do With Payments

Use Cofounder for the company work around payments, including:

  • pricing and packaging analysis
  • payment and billing operations
  • revenue reporting and reconciliation
  • checkout copy and conversion work
  • customer-support workflows for billing questions
  • launch planning and analytics for a new plan
  • a product-ready implementation brief for checkout, subscriptions, or webhooks

The billing code inside your core product stays in your own product repository and engineering workflow. Cofounder should not take ownership of the app's checkout flow, billing logic, database schema, authentication, or production hosting.

Hand Product Changes To Your Engineer

When a payment project needs product code, ask Cofounder to prepare the handoff.

A useful request is:

Prepare an implementation brief for adding this Stripe plan to our product.
Include the approved pricing, checkout behavior, webhook events, analytics,
customer-facing states, acceptance criteria, and rollout risks. Do not change
the core product repo. Give me a prompt for the coding agent that owns it.

After the product change ships, Cofounder can use the resulting Stripe, analytics, and customer context to support growth, finance, operations, and customer-support work.

Existing Managed App Workspaces

Some existing workspaces may show managed-app environment and webhook setup on the Payments page. That setup remains available where it is already supported, but it does not change the recommended boundary: build and ship the core product through your own engineering workflow.
