Stripe

  • Processing/platform fees by fee type

Method: Restricted API Key

  1. In the Stripe Dashboard, go to Developers > API keys, then click Create restricted key.
  2. Grant the key Read access to Balance and Balance Transactions. No other permissions are needed.
  3. Copy the generated key (it starts with rk_live_...) and paste it into the Restricted API Key field in Plutus.

A key scoped to only Balance and Balance Transactions is strongly preferred over your full Stripe secret key.

This tracks what Stripe charges you (processing fees) as a cost, not your own customers’ payments. To overlay subscription created/canceled events on your cost charts instead, connect the separate “Stripe Subscriptions” event source.
