Connect Stripe for SaaS metrics

Monthly recurring revenue, customers and churn come from your billing system, not your books. CanopyDecks reads them with a restricted key you create in Stripe, which can only read.

1. In Stripe, open Developers, then API keys, and choose Create restricted key.
2. When Stripe asks how you will use it, choose Providing this key to a third-party application.
3. Enter CanopyDecks as the name and www.canopydecks.com as the URL, and tick Customize permissions for this key.
4. Set Subscriptions (under Billing) and Prices to Read. Leave everything else at None.
5. Create the key and copy it. It starts with rk_live_.
6. In CanopyDecks, open company settings with the gear, find Subscription billing, paste the key and choose Connect.

Before keeping a key, CanopyDecks checks that it can read subscriptions and cannot change anything. If a permission is missing, the message names it. A full secret key (sk_live_) is refused, because it could move money.
