Biscuit comes with built-in payment support. The platform handles the Stripe relationship and infrastructure for you, so you don’t need a separate account, API keys, or developer time to wire it up. You describe the payment model you want in chat (credit packs, subscriptions, one-time purchases), and Biscuit configures the pricing, the checkout, and the in-app payment buttons. The setup runs end-to-end in a single chat session.

​
How payments work in Biscuit

Payments run through Stripe Checkout. Your app shows users a checkout page labeled “Payment for [Your App], processed by Biscuit”. Biscuit is the merchant of record, which is what enables the day-one setup. The platform handles the Stripe account, the API keys, and the compliance work that would otherwise need its own engineering investment.

Setting up your first payment flow

Open Payments in the side nav

Once your app is built, the side navigation shows more options including Payments. Click into it. You’ll see a Set up payments action.

Pick a payment model and prompt the details

Type what you want. Examples:

  • “Set up a Pro tier in my app at $9 per month”
  • “Add a one-time purchase of $5 for the premium template pack”

Test the checkout

Use the preview’s test mode. Click your payment button, complete a fake card flow, and check the credit balance updates and the buy-button enables and disables correctly.

Publish the app

Click Publish in the top-right. Biscuit’s safety check confirms the payment setup before your app goes live.

Take a real payment

Open the live URL, sign in as a user, and run a real transaction. Stripe’s checkout takes the card, Biscuit handles the integration.

Back in your project, click Payments in the side nav. Every transaction appears here.
