Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Stripe again."

Quick Start

# List customers
clawlink_call_tool --tool "stripe_list_customers" --params '{"limit": 10}'

# Get a payment intent
clawlink_call_tool --tool "stripe_get_payment_intent" --params '{"payment_intent_id": "pi_1234567890"}'

# List subscriptions
clawlink_call_tool --tool "stripe_list_subscriptions" --params '{"limit": 10}'

Authentication

All Stripe tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Stripe account OAuth token.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the API key securely and injects it into every Stripe API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=stripe and connect Stripe.
Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for stripe in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration stripe

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Stripe.

Reconnect

If Stripe tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=stripe
After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration stripe

Security & Permissions

Access is scoped to the Stripe account connected during OAuth setup and the permissions granted.
All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Refunds, cancellations, and chargebacks are high-impact — confirm explicitly.
Never commit payment amounts or fee calculations from memory — always pull from Stripe.
Test mode and live mode operate on separate data — confirm which mode is in use.

    "email": "example.com"
  }'

    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "metadata": {
      "internal_id": "CUST-001"
    }
  }'

clawlink_call_tool --tool "stripe_create_checkout_session" \
  --params '{
    "mode": "subscription",
    "line_items": [
      {
        "price": "price_1234567890",
        "quantity": 1

        "price": "price_1234567890"
      }
    ],
    "payment_behavior": "default_incomplete"
  }'

Discovery Workflow

Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Stripe is connected.
Call clawlink_list_tools --integration stripe to see the live catalog.
Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration stripe.
If no Stripe tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=stripe.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe                            │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List customers → Get customer → Show details    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  describe → preview → confirm → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Preview refund → User approves → Process refund   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
Prefer read, list, get, and search operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

All monetary amounts in Stripe are in the smallest currency unit (cents for USD).
Payment intents must be confirmed before processing — check the status after creation.
Subscriptions can have multiple items (prices) — always specify the price ID, not just the product ID.
Refunds can only be processed on captured charges — uncaptured charges must be cancelled instead.
Dispute/chargeback responses must be submitted through the Stripe dashboard, not the API.
Test mode and live mode are completely separate — confirm which environment is in use.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with `clawlink_list_tools --integration stripe`.
Missing connection	Stripe is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=stripe.
`customer_not_found`	The customer ID does not exist in the account.
`payment_intent_not_found`	The payment intent ID is invalid or was deleted.
`charge_not_found`	The charge ID is invalid.
`subscription_not_found`	The subscription ID does not exist.
`idempotency_conflict`	A request with the same idempotency key was recently made.
`card_declined`	The card was declined by the issuer.
`insufficient_funds`	The customer's balance is insufficient for the operation.
`already_refunded`	The charge has already been fully refunded.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
```
openclaw plugins list
```
If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.

If a fresh chat does not help, run:

openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Payment Fails

Verify the customer exists and has valid payment methods attached.
Check the PaymentIntent status — some require additional confirmation steps.
Confirm the amount is in the smallest currency unit (cents), not dollars.
Ensure the currency matches the payment method type.
