Stripe Integration Update with Invoice Payment

We’ve made important improvements to how Stripe works inside GoPetAI to give pet care businesses more flexibility and control over their payments.

🔄 Stripe Connect Removed – Direct API Setup Required

We no longer use Stripe Connect.

Instead, pet care businesses now:

  • 🔐 Log in directly to your Stripe Dashboard

  • 🔎 Find or generate your API Keys (Publishable Key & Secret Key)

  • 📋 Copy & paste the API keys into GoPetAI Settings

This gives you:

  • Full ownership of your Stripe account

  • Direct control over your payment configuration

  • Cleaner and more transparent setup

🧪 Test Mode Before Going Live

You can now choose to use:

  • 🧪 Stripe Test API keys to simulate transactions

  • 🚀 Switch to Live API keys when ready

This allows you to:

  • Test invoice payment flow

  • Ensure everything runs smoothly

  • Train your team before activating live payments

Go live only when you’re fully confident 💪

🧾 Invoice Auto-Update After Payment (Improved)

We’ve also fixed and enhanced the Stripe invoice payment function:

  • 💳 When a pet parent completes payment via Stripe

  • ⚡ Invoice automatically updates to Paid

  • 🔄 Real-time sync between Stripe and GoPetAI

  • ❌ No more manual status updates

This helps reduce cashier errors and keeps your reports accurate.

🎯 Why This Update Matters

  • More flexibility & control

  • Safer testing environment

  • Better accounting accuracy

  • Less manual work for staff

  • Smoother experience for pet parents 🐾
