What can the assistant never do in Stripe?

Charge a customer or a saved card, make transfers, delete anything, cancel a subscription straight away, or touch webhooks, Connect accounts, Issuing, Treasury or your account settings. Those are left out on purpose. Your restricted key limits it further.

Which actions wait for approval?

Every change waits for your approval by default. A refund, a payout to the bank, and sending or voiding an invoice move money or reach a customer and cannot be undone, so they are the ones to keep that way. A drafted invoice stays a draft: nothing is charged, sent or numbered until it is sent.

Does the revenue summary cover any period?

It adds up at most 900 charges, newest first, and says when that did not cover the whole period, so you can ask for a shorter one. Amounts are in the smallest unit of the currency, so 1250 is €12.50.

Does Claude Code see the password or key for Stripe?

No. The key for Stripe is pasted into Flowplane once and kept sealed there. Claude Code only gets a Flowplane sign-in for you, which you can revoke in the console.

Can Claude Code change things in Stripe without asking?

Not by default: every change in Stripe waits for your approval in the browser. Your workspace’s rules decide, per tool.

Add Stripe in Flowplane
In the Flowplane console, add Stripe and paste the restricted key (rk_live_… or rk_test_…). A test-mode key is a good first try.
Stripe works here with a restricted API key that you make in the Stripe Dashboard with exactly the permissions you want to give: Read where the assistant may look, Write only where it may change something. A secret key (sk_) is refused, because it can do everything in your account. The key is pasted into Flowplane once; Flowplane keeps it sealed and the assistant never sees it.

What it can do

What Claude Code can do in Stripe

Stripe takes the payments of many online businesses. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can search and list customers, payments, refunds, invoices, subscriptions, payouts and disputes, open any one of them, and add up what was paid, refunded and disputed in a period. It can save a customer, draft an invoice, cancel a subscription at the end of its paid period, refund a payment, pay out to the bank and send or void an invoice; each of those changes waits for your approval by default.
