Apps built with Fabricate today don’t include a built-in Stripe integration. You can ask Fabricate to add Stripe payments to your app, but there are limits to know about first.
You’ll need a Stripe account and API keys. Your keys are environment secrets, and secrets reach only your published app — not the preview — so payment code can’t be tried in the preview. See Environment Secrets.

What to Expect

Fabricate doesn’t have a ready-made payments module for apps built today, so any payment code is written for your app from scratch. Before you rely on it:
  • Test on your published app — payment code needs your Stripe keys, and those only reach the published app.
  • Set up Stripe yourself — create your products, prices, and webhook endpoints in your Stripe Dashboard. Fabricate can’t access your Stripe account.
  • Review the code — check the payment routes in the Code view, and run the full checkout flow with Stripe’s test mode before switching to live keys.

Setting Up Your Stripe Keys

After Fabricate adds the payment code:
1

Get your Stripe keys

Log into your Stripe Dashboard. Go to Developers → API Keys.
2

Add keys as environment secrets

In your project’s settings, open Environment and add your keys as secrets, using the exact names your app’s code reads — for example:
  • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY — your Stripe secret key
  • STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET — your webhook signing secret
3

Publish your app

Secrets are applied to your published app when you publish, so publish (or republish) after adding them.
4

Set up webhooks in Stripe

If your app handles Stripe webhooks, add a webhook endpoint in Stripe that points at the webhook route on your published app’s address — its fabricate.chat address or your custom domain — and listen for the events your code handles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fabricate doesn’t certify compliance. If your app sends customers to Stripe’s hosted Checkout, card details are entered on Stripe’s pages, so your app never sees or stores raw card numbers. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified.
Stripe supports many payment methods (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.). Most are turned on in your Stripe Dashboard.
You can ask for one: “Add a 14-day free trial before the subscription starts — no credit card required until the trial ends.”
Yes. Use Stripe’s test mode keys on your published app before you switch to live keys. Test with card number 4242 4242 4242 4242.
