Prerequisites Before You Connect GoHighLevel and Stripe

Before you link Stripe to GoHighLevel, make sure a few basic requirements are in place so the connection process is smooth.

Stripe account requirements

• You must have an active Stripe account.
• Your Stripe account should be fully set up with business information and payouts configured.
• You should have Administrator or Owner access to the Stripe account you plan to connect.

GoHighLevel account requirements

• You must be an Admin or have sufficient permissions in your GoHighLevel account.
• You need access to the Agency or Sub‑Account where you want Stripe to be used.
• Make sure you are logged into the correct GoHighLevel location before you begin.

Once these conditions are met, you are ready to follow the connection steps.

Step‑by‑Step: Connect Stripe in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to connect your Stripe account to GoHighLevel using the built‑in integration screen.

Step 1: Open payments settings in GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. From the left‑hand navigation, go to the appropriate Sub‑Account or workspace.
3. Click on Settings in the sidebar menu.
4. In the settings list, choose Stripe or Payments depending on your interface version.

This brings you to the payment integration area where you can initiate the Stripe connection.

Step 2: Start the Stripe connection process

1. On the Stripe integration screen, locate the button labeled Connect with Stripe or similar.
2. Click the button to open the secure Stripe authorization window.

GoHighLevel will now redirect you to Stripe on a new page or popup, using a secure OAuth connection.

Step 3: Log in to Stripe

1. In the Stripe window, log in with your Stripe email and password if prompted.
2. If you are already logged in, Stripe may automatically detect your session.
3. Choose the correct Stripe account if you manage multiple businesses under the same login.

Make sure you select the account you intend to use for receiving payments through GoHighLevel. Using the wrong account can route funds to an unexpected business profile.

Step 4: Authorize access for GoHighLevel

1. Review the permissions that GoHighLevel is requesting from Stripe. These permissions typically include reading and creating charges, customers, and related billing data.
2. Confirm the connection by clicking the Authorize access or Connect button in Stripe.

When the authorization is successful, Stripe will redirect you back to your GoHighLevel payments settings screen.

Step 5: Confirm the Stripe connection in GoHighLevel

After you return to GoHighLevel, you should see an indication that Stripe is now connected.

Check for the following:

• A confirmation message or status line showing Stripe as Connected.
• Your Stripe account name or ID displayed in the payment settings.
• Options to manage products, subscriptions, or payment methods using the Stripe integration.

If you do not see a connected status, refresh the page and verify the process completed successfully.

How to Use Stripe Once Connected to GoHighLevel

With Stripe connected, you can start using GoHighLevel to take payments across funnels, forms, and automations.

Set up products and offers

• Create products or offers in your GoHighLevel account, such as one‑time services, digital products, or retainers.
• Assign prices, billing intervals, and currency that match your Stripe settings.
• Ensure your products are linked to the connected Stripe account in the product configuration.

Connect Stripe to funnels and order forms

• Edit a funnel or website page in GoHighLevel.
• Add an order form or checkout element to your page.
• Select the product that should be billed through Stripe.
• Test the form with a small live or test transaction to confirm successful payment processing.

When a customer submits the form, Stripe will handle the charge and the transaction details will sync back to your GoHighLevel system.

Manage subscriptions and payments

• Use Stripe‑powered subscriptions for recurring services, memberships, or coaching programs.
• Monitor customer payments and invoices from within your Stripe dashboard.
• View related contacts and pipelines in GoHighLevel to keep sales and billing aligned.
