How to add Stripe payments with Claude Code
Stripe scores 5/5 on our Claude Code fit scale: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server + 10 skills. These steps use only Stripe’s and Anthropic’s official instructions; each step links its source.
-
1
Have Claude Code and a Stripe account ready
You need Claude Code installed and an account with Stripe (stripe.com). Some tools only need the account when the agent first calls a live tool.
-
2
Install the official Stripe plugin
Run this in Claude Code (or your terminal, as the source shows):
/plugin install stripe@claude-plugins-official -
3
No marketplace setup needed
This plugin is in Anthropic’s official marketplace (claude-plugins-official), which Claude Code adds automatically the first time you start an interactive session.
