# Getting Started with Stripe

## Guides in this Section

* [Stripe Connect Integration](/integrations/stripe-billing-integration/getting-started/stripe-connect-integration.md) — Link your Stripe account to Limio using Stripe Connect
* [Configure Stripe Payment Settings](/integrations/stripe-billing-integration/getting-started/configure-stripe-payment-settings.md) — Customise the Stripe Payment Element appearance and behaviour

## Overview

Limio integrates with Stripe via **Stripe Connect**, which uses OAuth-based onboarding to securely link your Stripe account to Limio. Once connected, Limio can create customers, manage subscriptions, and process payments on your behalf.

This is different from managing API keys directly. With Stripe Connect, Limio acts as a platform and connects to your Stripe account without you needing to share secret keys.

## Prerequisites

* A Stripe account ([create one at stripe.com](https://stripe.com))
* Access to Limio's Developer settings (Admin role required)
