Stripe
Two integrations
Frihet has two independent Stripe integrations. Each one is connected separately from Integrations. Stripe Revenue Sync counts as one connected integration toward your plan limit: 2 on Free, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Premium.
| Integration | Use case | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe Connect | Your clients pay your invoices online by card from a payment link. | Onboarding guided by Stripe |
| Stripe Revenue Sync | Imports the paid invoices of your Stripe account as invoices in Frihet. | Restricted read-only API Key |
Which one to use?
- You want your clients to pay online the invoices you issue in Frihet → Stripe Connect. The Payment link button on the invoice is included in Pro.
- You already collect with Stripe and want those payments as invoices in Frihet → Stripe Revenue Sync.
- You have subscriptions in Stripe Billing → Stripe Revenue Sync imports the paid invoices they generate.
You can connect both at the same time.
How each one is connected
Stripe Connect
- Go to Integrations and open Stripe Connect
- Choose your country and click Connect existing Stripe account (Standard) or Create new account (Express). In both cases a new account is created in Stripe
- Complete the onboarding in Stripe and return to Frihet
- When the account status is Active, you can use the payment link on your invoices
When a client pays, Stripe notifies Frihet and the invoice becomes paid. If the payment is fully refunded, the invoice goes back to sent.
Stripe Revenue Sync
- Create a restricted read-only API Key in Stripe
- Go to Integrations, open Stripe Revenue Sync and paste the key
- Click Test connection and Save connection
- In the Data tab, click Import invoices. In the Settings tab, if you turn on Auto-sync every 6 hours, Frihet imports new paid invoices every 6 hours
Security
- Restricted API — Revenue Sync uses a read-only key; Frihet does not move money with it
- Encrypted credentials — The key is stored encrypted
- Disconnection — You can disconnect each integration from its page with Disconnect
What Frihet does not do
- Connecting Stripe through OAuth
- Importing Stripe customers or subscriptions on their own: Revenue Sync links each imported invoice to a Frihet client, reusing it if it exists or creating it if not
- Managing or cancelling your clients' subscriptions from Frihet
- Payments with methods other than card in the invoice payment link
