How to Connect Stripe to a GoHighLevel Sub-Account

Connecting Stripe to a sub-account in GoHighLevel is a simple process that lets you start collecting payments quickly, even if you also use tools like ClickUp to manage your projects. This guide walks you step-by-step through the exact screens and settings you need so you can link Stripe correctly and avoid common setup issues.

Before You Start with GoHighLevel and Stripe

Before you connect Stripe inside GoHighLevel, make sure you have:

  • An active GoHighLevel sub-account with admin access.
  • A Stripe account with correct business and banking details.
  • Login credentials for both platforms handy.

This connection is done at the sub-account level, not just at the agency level, so always confirm you are working inside the correct GoHighLevel location.

Access the Correct GoHighLevel Sub-Account

First, switch into the sub-account where you want to receive payments.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel dashboard.
  2. From the agency view, locate the left sidebar or top account selector.
  3. Click the specific sub-account you need to configure.

All Stripe settings you change here will only apply to this selected GoHighLevel sub-account.

Open the Stripe Integration Settings in GoHighLevel

Once you are inside the correct sub-account, you can access the Stripe configuration screen.

  1. In the left-side menu, click Settings.
  2. From the Settings menu, look for the section related to Integrations or Stripe.
  3. Select the option that mentions Stripe to open the payments integration page.

This area of GoHighLevel is where you connect and manage payment gateways for funnels, invoices, and other billing tools.

Connect Stripe to Your GoHighLevel Sub-Account

When you are on the Stripe integration page, you will see an option to link your Stripe account.

  1. Click the button labeled Connect with Stripe (or similar wording).
  2. A new Stripe window or popup will open, asking you to either:
  • Log in to an existing Stripe account, or
  • Create a new Stripe account.
  1. Sign in with your Stripe credentials using the secure Stripe login page.
  2. Review the permissions requested so GoHighLevel can create charges and manage payments.
  3. Click Authorize access to this account to confirm.

After authorization, you will be redirected back to your GoHighLevel sub-account, and Stripe will be linked to that specific location.

Verify the Stripe Connection in GoHighLevel

Once the linking process completes, always confirm that the connection is active.

  1. Return to Settings > Stripe (or the Payments / Integrations area).
  2. Check that your Stripe account name or ID appears as Connected.
  3. Look for any status messages or warnings on the page.

If the account shows as connected and no alerts are present, your GoHighLevel sub-account is now ready to process payments through Stripe.

Use Stripe Inside GoHighLevel Tools

After Stripe is connected, you can start using it in various features inside the platform.

Enable Stripe in GoHighLevel Funnels and Websites

To accept payments in your funnels or websites:

  1. Go to the Funnels or Websites section in your GoHighLevel sub-account.
  2. Edit the funnel or page where you want to take payments.
  3. Add an order form or checkout element that supports Stripe.
  4. Select your connected Stripe account as the payment gateway in the element’s settings.

Save and test your funnel to verify that the Stripe payment form loads correctly and processes test charges if available.

Use Stripe for GoHighLevel Invoices and Subscriptions

To use Stripe with invoices or recurring billing:

  1. Open the Payments or Invoices area in GoHighLevel.
  2. Create a new product, invoice, or subscription plan.
  3. Choose Stripe as the payment method or gateway.
  4. Configure pricing, billing intervals, and customer details.

Once saved, clients paying these invoices or subscriptions will be charged via the connected Stripe account.

Troubleshooting Stripe Connection Issues in GoHighLevel

If you experience problems while connecting Stripe to your GoHighLevel sub-account, use the steps below to diagnose common issues.

Incorrect GoHighLevel Location Selected

Make sure you are inside the correct sub-account:

  • Switch back to the agency view.
  • Select the intended sub-account again.
  • Reopen Settings and the Stripe integration page.

Connecting Stripe at the wrong location may send payments to a different GoHighLevel client account.

Stripe Authorization Not Completing

If the Stripe window closes without a confirmation:

  • Confirm that popups are allowed in your browser.
  • Check that you finish the entire Stripe authorization flow.
  • Ensure you click the final Authorize access to this account button.

Then return to the integration screen in GoHighLevel and refresh to see if the status updates.

Stripe Account Setup Problems

If Stripe shows errors:

  • Log in directly to your Stripe dashboard.
  • Confirm your business information and bank details are complete.
  • Resolve any Stripe verification or compliance alerts.

When the Stripe account is fully active, go back to GoHighLevel and repeat the connection steps.
