Net for the window you choose or for all time, what came in today, and the payout currently on its way to the bank. If you sell anything, this is the tile you will look at most, and it is the one that changes what a desk display is for.
The key is a restricted, read-only Stripe key. It can read balances and payouts and it cannot create a charge, issue a refund, or move a cent. That is not a promise about our code; it is a property of the key you generate, which is the only kind of assurance worth anything here.
Like every secret in Perch, it is stored write-only: the console can set it and can never read it back, so the key does not travel to a browser after the moment you paste it.
what you can set
Every field here is generated from the widget’s manifest, so the settings form exists without anyone having written one.
- A restricted read-only API key, stored write-only
- Net for a window, or all time
- How many days the window covers
- Which currency to display
Nothing to install.
Stripe ships with Perch. Clone the repo, run the installer, open the console from your laptop or phone, and drag the tile where you want it — the desk screen follows as you drag. If the tile you want is not one of the eight, a widget is one folder of about forty lines and the agent in your terminal can write it.
