Stripe Connect integration offers a way to easily transfer money from Merchant account to Vendor account seamlessly from within the app. For this the Merchant needs to have a “Stripe Connect account” which enables them to initiate payments and their Vendors need to have a “Stripe account” which enables them to receive payments.

Steps to integrate Stripe in Shipturtle

Merchant: Create a Stripe account and get the secret key

To integrate Stripe with Shipturtle, you'll need a Secret Key and Client ID to facilitate payments to your vendors.

You can obtain the Secret Key from the Stripe Admin panel by navigating to Developers > API Keys. Make sure to note down the Secret Key, as it will be required for setting up Shipturtle. Access the Stripe Admin panel here: Stripe Dashboard.
