Connect Stripe to Makerfolio
Link your Stripe account in 2 minutes using a read-only restricted API key. Get verified MRR on your public builder profile — automatically calculated from your active subscriptions.
Setup guide
Create a restricted API key in Stripe
Go to Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API keys → Restricted keys and create a new restricted key.
Required permissions (read only):
✓ Subscriptions — Read
✓ Customers — Read
✓ Products — Read
✓ Prices — Read
Everything else: None
Copy the key (shown once)
Copy the restricted key that starts with rk_live_. Stripe shows it only once — copy it before leaving the page. If you lose it, just create a new one and delete the old one from Stripe.
Paste it in Makerfolio
Open your project in Makerfolio → click Connect Stripe → paste the key. Makerfolio encrypts it immediately with AES-256-GCM and only ever uses it for read operations. Only the last 4 characters are stored in plaintext for display.
Sync and get your verified badge
Click Sync Now. Makerfolio fetches your active subscriptions, calculates your MRR, and marks your public profile as verified. The whole process takes under 10 seconds.

FAQ
Does Makerfolio need full Stripe API access?
No. You create a restricted read-only key with only the permissions Makerfolio needs. No write access, no refunds, no charges — ever.
How does Makerfolio calculate MRR from Stripe?
Makerfolio fetches all active subscriptions, normalizes them to monthly values (annual plans divided by 12), and sums them. It handles multi-currency and discounts correctly.
Is my Stripe customer data stored?
No. Makerfolio stores only the calculated MRR snapshot and your encrypted API key. No customer names, emails, payment methods, or invoice data are ever stored.
How often does Makerfolio sync with Stripe?
Manual sync is available anytime from your project page. Automatic scheduled sync is coming to Scaler plan users.
