To start accepting card payments from your customers, you’ll need to connect a Stripe account. Stripe is a secure and trusted payment platform that lets businesses easily accept credit and debit card payments online.
By linking Stripe to your myflow account, you can offer a smooth and professional checkout experience, making it easier for your customers to pay - and for you to get paid.
Step 1: Create your Stripe account
You can skip this part if you already have a Stripe account.
> Go to Stripe
To get started you want to head over to Stripe's register page and create your account.
You’ll be asked to enter your email address, full name, and create a password.
> Setting up the account
Once you’ve signed up, Stripe will guide you through a quick setup process where you’ll provide details about your business, verify your identity, and link a bank account so you can receive payouts.
Step 2: Use API-keys to connect Stripe with myflow
>To connect Stripe with myflow, you’ll need your Stripe API keys. Here’s how to get them:
Go to stripe.com and sign in to your Stripe account.
In the left-hand menu, click on “Developers”, then select “API keys.”
Copy your live keys:
The Secret Key starts with
sk_live
The Publishable Key starts with
pk_live
Click the copy icon next to each key and paste them into the Stripe settings section in myflow.
🔒 Important: Keep your API keys secure. Do not share them publicly or with anyone you don’t trust.
Once added, myflow will be able to connect with your Stripe account and let you start takin payments with card.
Step 3: Paste your API keys into Myflow
Now that you’ve copied your live API keys from Stripe, it’s time to add them to myflow:
In myflow, go to “User Area” and click on “Settings.”
Find the section called “Payments” and open it.
Paste your Secret Key (
sk_live
) and Publishable Key (pk_live
) into the corresponding fields.
✅ Double-check that both keys are correct before saving.
Once saved, myflow will be connected to Stripe and ready to process payments from your users.
