Why You Should Customize the Stripe Integration

Default settings work, but tailored settings convert better.

While Spawned provides a functional default Stripe connection for collecting the 0.30% creator fee per trade, customization directly impacts user trust and conversion. A branded, seamless payment experience reduces friction for supporters buying your token. This guide is for creators who have completed the basic integration and want more control. For the initial setup steps, refer to our primary integration guide.

Recommendation: Invest 30-60 minutes in these customizations. The effort pays off in professional presentation and reliable automation for your revenue stream.

Step 1: Brand Your Stripe Checkout Page

Make the payment page an extension of your token's brand.

This is the most visible customization. A checkout page that matches your token's site builds confidence.

In your Stripe dashboard, navigate to Settings > Branding.
Upload your logo: Use a high-quality version of your token's logo. Recommended size: 128x128px.
Set primary color: Use your token's brand color for buttons and highlights. This creates visual continuity for users.
Customize the merchant name: Instead of 'Spawned.com,' use your token's name (e.g., 'DragonToken').
Save and publish.

Pro Tip: After saving, use Stripe's 'Preview' feature to see the checkout as a customer will. Test it by making a small test purchase.

Key Webhooks to Configure for Automation

Webhooks send real-time data from Stripe to your systems. Configuring these automates critical follow-ups.

checkout.session.completed: Trigger an automatic thank-you message or NFT airdrop to the buyer's wallet address. This confirms the token purchase was successful.
charge.succeeded: Log successful revenue events. This ties directly to your 0.30% creator fee collection.
payment_intent.payment_failed: Set up an alert to your team. This allows for prompt customer service if a card is declined.
invoice.paid: Useful if you offer subscription-based perks for token holders. Confirms recurring revenue.
Destination URL: In your Spawned project settings, ensure the webhook endpoint URL from your server is correctly entered to receive these events.

Configuring Product Details and Tax Compliance

Clarity on receipts and invoices is crucial. In your Stripe dashboard, edit the product linked to your Spawned token.

Statement Descriptor: This appears on your customer's credit card statement. Use something recognizable like YOURTOKEN*SPAWNED. Avoid vague terms.
Product Description: Clearly state what the purchase is for, e.g., Purchase of 1000 DRAGON Solana tokens.
Tax Settings: If you need to collect sales tax (VAT, GST, etc.), you can configure tax rates per customer location directly in Stripe. Spawned passes through the necessary customer location data. Consult a tax professional for your obligations.

These details reduce support queries and chargebacks by making transactions transparent.

Using Custom Payment Links for Specific Campaigns

Beyond the standard buy button, Stripe Payment Links let you create unique, shareable URLs. Use these for:

Early Supporter Discounts: Create a link with a 10% pre-sale price for your Discord community.
Bundle Offers: A link that sells a 'Starter Pack' of tokens and an associated NFT.
Event-Specific Sales: A time-limited link shared after a Twitter Spaces announcement.

You create these links in the Stripe dashboard. They operate independently but still feed revenue into your same Spawned-connected Stripe account, tracking toward your 0.30% creator fee pool.

Final Step: Test Thoroughly Before Launch

A failed payment flow costs more than just a sale.

Never launch customizations without testing in a safe environment.

In Stripe, ensure you are in Test mode (toggle in the dashboard).
Use Stripe's test card numbers (e.g., 4242 4242 4242 4242) to simulate a purchase through your Spawned token page.
Verify the checkout uses your new branding.
Check that a successful test triggers your configured checkout.session.completed webhook.
Confirm the test payment appears in your Stripe balance overview.
Switch back to Live mode only after all tests pass.

This process prevents lost sales due to configuration errors at launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The 0.30% creator fee per trade is a function of the token's smart contract on Solana, managed by Spawned. Customizing Stripe's branding or webhooks only changes the payment experience and automation for direct purchases you set up. Both revenue streams work independently.

Currently, Spawned offers a native, pre-integrated connection with Stripe to simplify setup for creators. This integration handles tax calculations, fraud prevention, and payout logistics. Using another processor would require a custom, self-built solution outside the Spawned platform's streamlined flow.

Stripe will retry sending webhook events multiple times over several days. However, you might miss real-time notifications. The financial transaction itself is recorded in Stripe and on the Solana blockchain, so revenue is not lost. It's best to monitor your webhook health in the Stripe dashboard.

Yes. Within your Stripe dashboard, you can customize receipt email templates under Settings > Emails. You can add your logo, change wording, and include specific details about the token purchase. This is another excellent touchpoint for branding.

No. The 0.1 SOL launch fee to create and deploy your token on the Solana blockchain via Spawned is paid in SOL cryptocurrency directly to the launchpad. Stripe is used for optional, additional fiat payment flows you set up for your community (like direct token packs or merchandise).

Spawned's integration is built-in, avoiding monthly SaaS fees for payment gateway connectors. On other launchpads or website builders, you might pay $29-$99/month for a similar plugin or integration. Here, it's part of the platform, and you only pay Stripe's standard processing fees per transaction.
