+# Stripe Integration
+
+The **Stripe Integration** allows your app to use [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) to power secure payments, subscriptions, and billing workflows. Once connected, you can process transactions, manage customers, and trigger payment flows directly from your app.
+
+## What You Can Do
+
+With Stripe, your app can:
+- **Accept one-time payments** or set up **recurring subscriptions**.  
+- **Manage customers**, payment methods, and invoices.  
+- Handle **refunds, payment confirmations**, and notifications.  
+- Automate billing flows and webhook-based actions.  
+- Build secure, PCI-compliant checkout experiences with ease.
+
+## Step 1: Obtain a Stripe API Key
+
+1. Go to your [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/).  
+2. Navigate to **Developers → API Keys**.  
+3. Copy your **Secret Key** (or create a restricted key for added security).
+
+   * **Example:** `sk_test_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`
+
+> 💡 Use test keys in development environments and live keys in production.
+
+## Step 2: Configure the Integration in Your App
+
+1. Go to **Integrations → Add Stripe** in your app settings.  
+2. Paste your **Stripe API Key** in the input field.  
+3. Click **Connect** to validate and save your integration.
+
+Once connected, your app can process payments and manage billing directly from workflows and UI actions.
+
+## Step 3: Notes
+
+* **Keep your API key secure:** Never expose your Stripe key in client-side code.  
+* **Use environment-specific keys:** Test keys for staging, live keys for production.  
+* **Secure transactions:** All payment processing is handled through Stripe’s PCI-compliant infrastructure.
