The Stripe connection lets GENI fetch your revenue figures, subscriptions and failed payments, so you can ask about them in plain language.

You connect with a Restricted API Key you create yourself and set to read access only. The connection activates the Stripe Insights skill, available from Growth.

What you can do with it

What you ask	What GENI does
"How is my revenue doing?"	Returns MRR, ARR, customer count and active subscriptions
"Have any payments failed?"	Fetches recent failed payments
"What has customer X bought from us?"	Looks up by email address or Stripe customer ID
"Send me a revenue summary every Monday"	Combines this with your email connection in a recurring task

Connecting

Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
Go to Developers -> API Keys -> Restricted Keys
Click + Create restricted key and give it a name, for example "dGENIX read-only"
Set these permissions to Read:
- Balance, for the balance overview
- Charges, for payments
- Customers, for customer data
- Subscriptions, for subscriptions
- Payment Intents, for transactions
Copy the key you receive
Go to Dashboard -> Connectors, click Connect on Stripe and paste the key

What access you grant

Permission	What dGENIX uses it for
`Balance` (read)	Balance overview
`Charges` (read)	Payments and failed collections
`Customers` (read)	Looking up a customer
`Subscriptions` (read)	Active subscriptions and MRR
`Payment Intents` (read)	Transaction details

You do not need write access. Do not enable it either: that makes it technically impossible for this connection to ever create or refund a payment.

Checking that it works

Ask this right after connecting:

How is my Stripe revenue doing?

You get MRR, ARR and the customer count back. If you get a permissions error, a read permission is missing from your restricted key.

Limits

Read only. GENI cannot create, refund or cancel a payment
No changing or cancelling subscriptions
No editing customer data in Stripe
Figures come straight from Stripe; they are not stored or tracked
On very large accounts part of the history is fetched, not all of it

Troubleshooting

Permissions error when asking. A read permission is missing. Open the restricted key in Stripe and set the missing resource to Read.

The key is rejected. You probably used your publishable key (pk_...) or a standard secret key. It has to be a restricted key (rk_...).

You see test data. You created the key in test mode. Switch Stripe to live and create a new restricted key.

Disconnecting

Revoke the restricted key in Stripe (Developers -> API Keys), or go to Dashboard -> Connectors, click Stripe and choose Disconnect. A revoked key stops working immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Could GENI move money by accident? No. The key has read access only, so the capability does not technically exist, whatever you ask.

Can I combine this with other skills? Yes, and that is where the value is: a monthly revenue summary that GENI fetches, condenses and emails you. See Scheduled tasks.

Is this the same Stripe account I pay dGENIX with? No. This connection is about your Stripe account and your customers. Your own subscription is separate and managed through Billing in the dashboard.
