Read-only · your data never leaves Stripe's read APIs
Connect Stripe, get your real number.
Paste a restricted, read-only Stripe key. We validate it, store it encrypted, and run a read-only scan — we can't move money or message your customers.
- Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API keys → Create restricted key
- Set every permission to Read (or None). Name it “MeterGuard”.
- Copy the
rk_…key and paste it below.
Read-only, by design — five things that make this safe
- §1Restricted key, all scopes set to Read or None — Stripe enforces this, not us.
- §2We only call GET endpoints (
/v1/billing/meters,/v1/invoices,/v1/subscriptions,/v1/prices) — never POST, never PATCH. - §3Your key is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using an env-isolated 32-byte key; never logged in plaintext.
- §4Revoke any time in your Stripe dashboard — kills our access instantly, no email to us needed.
- §5We look back 12 months by default — enough to surface compounded drift without dragging on early-stage accounts.
What we will not do
We will not write to your Stripe. We will not email or charge your customers. We will not move money. We're a smoke detector, not a plumber.
We only ever call Stripe's read endpoints. The key is encrypted at rest and can be revoked anytime from your Stripe dashboard.
