Your agency has asked for access to Stripe. You don't need to share your password for it. Stripe lets you add them with their own login, choose exactly what they can do, and remove them when the project ends. These are the clicks, checked against Stripe's own help pages in October 2026.
Which role to choose
Pick the narrowest role that lets your agency do the work. Developer is usually the right one.
| Role | What it allows | For an agency |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Sets up the integration and creates API keys. Cannot invite people or change bank details. | Usually the right one |
| View only | Reads the Dashboard without changing anything. | If the work needs it |
| Administrator | Full access, including team and bank details. | If the work needs it |
Add your agency to Stripe
- In the Stripe Dashboard, open Settings, then the Team tab.
- Click Add member and enter your agency's email address.
- Select the Developer role, review it, then click Send invites.
The invitation expires after 10 days. You can change the role later from the same Team tab.
How you both know it worked
Stripe emails your agency an invitation from stripe.com. Once they accept it, they show in your Stripe account's list of people with access, where you can see or change their role at any time.
Remove access when the project ends
- In Settings, open the Team tab, click the overflow menu next to your agency's email address and remove the member.
- Rotate any API keys your agency created or saw, from the API keys page.
Do you have to share your password?
No. Every step above uses Stripe's own invite, so your agency signs in with their own account, your two-step verification stays on, and anything they change is recorded under their name. How to give a developer access without sharing your password covers the other accounts agencies usually ask for.
Doing this for every client?
Agencies can send each client one Get Set Keys link instead of a page like this. It walks the client through Stripe and the other platforms the project needs, and checks that each step is done.
