Set up summary

To accept payments with Stripe in PaymentKit, you will need to:
  1. Request access to Stripe raw card APIs
  2. Create Stripe API keys
  3. Connect Stripe to PaymentKit
  4. (Optional) Enable Apple Pay and Google Pay

​
Request access to Stripe raw card APIs

PaymentKit uses Stripe’s raw card APIs, which must be enabled by Stripe.
PaymentKit is PCI compliant and provides the required compliance documentation, including the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ D) and On-Site Attestation of Compliance. These documents are required when requesting access to Stripe’s raw card data APIs. You do not need to complete PCI certification separately.
Submit a request through Stripe Support using the following message:
I am requesting access to Stripe’s raw card data APIs for my account. PaymentKit serves as our PCI-compliant payment orchestrator and provides the required Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ D) and On-Site Attestation of Compliance, which can be accessed here: (insert link)
Stripe should get back to you within a few days.
