stripe-integration is a skill from wshobson/agents. It loads when you build payments with Stripe. It steers Claude toward Checkout Sessions for most integrations, explains when Payment Intents and Setup Intents fit better, and covers the six webhook events SKILL.md calls critical.

The examples are Python and use the stripe library with a test key (sk_test_...). A second file, references/details.md, holds five payment patterns, webhook handling, customer management and refunds. The skill bundles no scripts. It writes code for you to run, so you supply your own Stripe account and keys.

Good for

Developers adding Stripe Checkout or subscriptions to a web app
Teams that need webhook handling and refund code
Builders using Stripe Connect for marketplaces

What it includes

Checkout Sessions (recommended), Payment Intents and Setup Intents compared.
Payment flows
Six critical events, from payment_intent.succeeded to invoice.payment_succeeded.
Webhooks
Product, Price, Subscription and Invoice, and how they fit together.
Subscriptions
Create customers, store several payment methods, track metadata and billing details.
Customer management

Permissions

Medium risk

The skill only holds instructions, but it steers Claude to write code that moves money when run with a live Stripe key. Use test-mode keys while you build, and read generated code before you run it.

What it can do

Read your data
Create and change things
Delete things
Read-only mode

Watch out for

Example code can create refunds and charges
The details file includes a create_refund function, and the quick start creates a Checkout Session. With a live key these affect real customers. Start with sk_test_ keys. github.com
Webhook code needs signature checks
The details file shows a secure webhook endpoint and signature verification. Keep that check in any endpoint you deploy. github.com
The plugin route adds more than this skill
The payment-processing plugin folder holds 4 skills, 1 agent file(s) and 0 command file(s), plus plugin.json files. The repo tree shows no hooks or MCP config in it. The skills CLI route installs only this skill. github.com

Questions

How do I install the stripe-integration skill?

Use the install box above. The skills CLI command installs only this skill. The plugin route installs payment-processing, which also holds three other skills and an agent file.

Does stripe-integration need a Stripe API key?

The skill does not ask for one, but the code it helps you write does. The examples use a test key (sk_test_...) and you bring your own Stripe account. Keep real secret keys out of chat and out of committed files.

Will Claude charge cards or issue refunds on its own?

Only if you run the code with a live key. The skill bundles no scripts. SKILL.md and references/details.md contain example code, including a refund function. Use test keys (sk_test_...) first and read the code before you run it.

Does it use Python only?

The Python examples are in SKILL.md and references/details.md. The details file also includes browser-side JavaScript for Stripe Elements.

Is stripe-integration safe to install?

The skill is two Markdown files with no scripts, so installing it adds instructions only. The risk comes from running generated payment code with live keys. Use test mode first, and review any webhook endpoint before deploying it.

Does it work in the Claude app or Codex?

The install box lists a zip upload for the Claude app and a plugin route for Codex. The wshobson/agents README names Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, GitHub Copilot and Pi as supported tools.
