Recharging Credit via Stripe

Stripe is a payment provider that supports a range of payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers. You configure and manage these from your Stripe dashboard.

With an activated Stripe account, you can allow users to recharge their MyQ credit via Stripe payments directly from the MyQ Web Interface.

To avoid currency conversion fees, ensure that the 3-letter currency code set in MyQ > Settings > General is also included among your settlement currencies in Stripe.

Setting up Stripe Payments

To set up Stripe as a payment provider in MyQ, you simply need to enter your Stripe secret key in MyQ. You do not need to create any special product catalog items – payments from MyQ are automatically processed in Stripe as MyQ Credit.

While you can use the default Stripe secret key (either for your test or live environments), we recommend generating a unique restricted key for each Print Server instance. Restricted keys are more secure because permissions must be granted explicitly. Using a separate key per instance enables you to revoke or rotate a single key without affecting others, and limits the impact if a key is compromised.

Use a Stripe test key to validate MyQ integration. When you are ready, generate a restricted key from your live Stripe environment and set it in MyQ.
