Connecting Stripe for payments

Overskill's option to use your own Stripe account instead of the built-in checkout is switched on for only a small number of accounts, and support can't turn it on for yours. Use the built-in checkout.

Overskill includes a built-in checkout that works out of the box, and for almost everyone that is the right choice. Using your own Stripe account instead is a separate, limited path.

Availability — read this first

Bringing your own Stripe account is not yet available to everyone. It is switched on for a small number of accounts, so it is very likely not enabled on yours, and there is no setting you can flip to turn it on yourself. Don't plan a launch around it.

Support can't turn it on for individual accounts on request either. If you need to take payments now, use the built-in checkout below.

Use the built-in checkout

Start with Overskill's built-in checkout (see Selling your app). It's faster to set up, you don't need a Stripe account, and it's what the AI builds by default.

If you already have your own Stripe connected

Keep using the payment setup that is already working for your app. Do not switch providers to troubleshoot an unrelated problem.

Overskill does not automatically move active subscriptions or saved payment details between Stripe and the built-in checkout. Changing a payment setting does not transfer your existing subscribers. If you need help with an existing connection, contact support and describe the problem before changing it.
