Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.

Why Deploy a Token with Spawned + Stripe?

The fastest way to launch a token that accepts credit card payments.

For developers launching a Solana token, integrating Stripe payments through Spawned is the most efficient path to accept fiat currency. This setup solves the critical problem of user acquisition by allowing anyone with a credit card to purchase your token, bypassing the complexity of crypto wallets and exchanges. The Spawned platform handles the smart contract deployment, tokenomics (including the 0.30% holder rewards), and provides the AI website builder—valued at $29-99/month if purchased separately—saving significant development time and cost. Compared to building a custom Stripe integration from scratch, which can take weeks, Spawned enables a production-ready deploy in under an hour.

Step 1: Prerequisites and Account Setup

Before you begin the deploy process, ensure you have the following accounts and tools ready. This preparation will make the integration smooth.

A Stripe Account: Create a standard Stripe account at stripe.com. You'll need access to your Dashboard to retrieve API keys and configure webhooks. Ensure your account is activated for live payments.
A Solana Wallet: You need a wallet like Phantom or Backpack with at least 0.2 SOL (0.1 SOL for launch fee + gas). This wallet will be the creator/deployer wallet for your token.
Spawned Account: Sign up at Spawned.com and connect your Solana wallet. Navigate to the 'Create Token' section in your dashboard.

Step 2: Stripe Dashboard Configuration

Configure Stripe to communicate securely with your Spawned token launch.

The core of the integration happens in your Stripe dashboard. Follow these steps precisely to generate the necessary credentials.

Retrieve API Keys: In the Stripe Developers dashboard, navigate to 'API keys'. Copy your publishable key (starts with pk_live_) and your secret key (starts with sk_live_). You will input the publishable key into Spawned. Keep the secret key secure.
Create a Webhook Endpoint: In the 'Webhooks' section, click 'Add endpoint'. For the endpoint URL, you will use the unique webhook URL provided by Spawned in the next step. Select the event checkout.session.completed. This tells Stripe to send a payment confirmation to Spawned.
Copy the Webhook Secret: After creating the endpoint, Stripe will generate a 'Signing secret'. Copy this secret (starts with whsec_). You will also need this for the Spawned configuration.

Step 3: Token Creation and Stripe Integration on Spawned

Bridge the gap between fiat payment and on-chain token delivery.

With your Stripe credentials ready, you now configure the token launch on Spawned.

Log into your Spawned dashboard and start the 'Create Token' flow. After defining your token's name, symbol, and supply, you'll reach the 'Payments' section. Here, toggle on 'Stripe Integration'. You will be prompted to input three pieces of data:

Your Stripe Publishable Key (pk_live_...).
The Webhook Signing Secret (whsec_...) you copied from Stripe.
The Fiat-to-Token exchange rate (e.g., 1 USD = 1000 tokens).

Spawned will then generate a unique Webhook URL. Return to your Stripe dashboard's Webhook configuration and paste this URL as the endpoint, completing the loop. This connection ensures that when a user pays via Stripe, Spawned receives the confirmation and automatically mints and sends the corresponding tokens to the buyer's provided Solana address.

You also set your tokenomics here: the default 0.30% creator revenue on all secondary market trades and the 0.30% holder reward distribution.

Step 4: Building the Payment Gateway with AI

Turn a text prompt into a live, payment-enabled website in minutes.

Unlike other launchpads, Spawned includes an AI website builder. This is where you create the public-facing page for your token with integrated 'Buy with Card' buttons.

Process with Spawned:

Use the AI builder to describe your project (e.g., 'a gaming token for my metaverse game').
The AI generates a landing page with pre-built sections for tokenomics, roadmap, and a purchase widget.
You customize the page and embed the Stripe payment button, which is automatically configured with your token's mint address and price.

Manual Alternative: Without Spawned, you would need to:

Code a frontend React/Next.js application.
Integrate the Stripe React Elements library.
Build a backend server to securely handle the Stripe secret key and initiate checkout sessions.
Write Solana program interactions to mint tokens post-payment.
Host the website, costing $10-50/month.

The Spawned builder handles steps 1-5, providing a hosted, secure payment flow at no extra monthly cost, aligning with your 0.30% creator revenue model.

Step 5: Final Review and Deploy

You are now ready to launch. This step involves a final check and the on-chain deployment.

Review & Payment: In the Spawned dashboard, review your token details, tokenomics, and the preview of your AI-generated website. Confirm the 0.1 SOL launch fee (approx. $20) and proceed to payment from your connected wallet.
Smart Contract Deployment: Spawned deploys your token's smart contract to the Solana blockchain. This includes the mint authority, metadata, and the integration logic for the Stripe webhook.
Website Deployment: Your AI-built website is deployed to a unique Spawned subdomain (e.g., yourproject.spawned.com) or your custom domain if configured.
Testing the Flow: It is critical to perform a test purchase. Use Stripe's test card number 4242 4242 4242 4242 to buy a small amount of your token. Verify the payment goes through Stripe and that the tokens arrive in your test wallet address. This confirms the full integration is live and functional.

Post-Launch: Monitoring and Graduation

Your token is live. Here's how to manage and grow it.

After a successful deploy, your work shifts to monitoring and growth. Spawned provides tools for this phase.

Dashboard Analytics: Track total volume, number of holders, and revenue from the 0.30% trade fee in real-time. Monitor Stripe purchase volume separately.
Holder Rewards: The 0.30% holder reward is distributed automatically. You can view distribution history.
Graduation to Token-2022: Once your token gains traction, you can graduate from the launchpad. This migrates your token to Solana's Token-2022 program, which enables advanced features. Crucially, the Stripe integration is maintained post-graduation, and the fee structure shifts to a 1% perpetual fee on all Stripe-originated purchases, providing ongoing revenue.
Community Tools: Use your live website to host updates, link to your social channels, and provide a seamless purchase experience for new users. Consider launching a gaming token on Solana as a next step for community growth.

Monitor volume and holder stats in the Spawned dashboard.
Holder rewards distribute automatically from the 0.30% fee.
Graduate to Token-2022 for advanced features and a 1% perpetual fee on Stripe buys.
Use your live website as a hub for community updates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spawned charges a one-time 0.1 SOL launch fee (approx. $20). On every secondary market trade, you earn 0.30% creator revenue. For purchases made directly through your Stripe integration, standard Stripe processing fees apply (approx. 2.9% + $0.30). Post-graduation to Token-2022, Spawned applies a 1% perpetual fee on all Stripe-originated token purchases.

Yes. After the initial deploy to a Spawned subdomain (yourproject.spawned.com), you can configure a custom domain (e.g., token.yourproject.com) through the Spawned dashboard's website settings. You will need to point your domain's DNS records as instructed. This is included at no extra cost.

When a customer completes checkout, Stripe sends a `checkout.session.completed` event to the webhook URL Spawned provided. This webhook payload contains the customer's submitted Solana wallet address and the payment amount. Spawned's secure backend service validates the webhook signature, calculates the token amount based on your set price, and executes a transaction to mint and send those tokens to the customer's wallet. This typically happens within 10-30 seconds.

The Stripe payment and the on-chain minting are decoupled. The customer's fiat payment is processed and confirmed by Stripe first. The token minting transaction is then submitted to the Solana network. If it fails due to congestion, Spawned's system will automatically retry the transaction with appropriate priority fees until it succeeds. The customer is guaranteed their tokens once the Stripe payment is complete.

Yes. The initial launch uses Solana's standard token program for simplicity and liquidity. When you choose to graduate your token, Spawned migrates it to the Token-2022 program. The Stripe integration is updated to work with the new mint address, and the fee structure for Stripe purchases updates to the 1% perpetual fee model enabled by Token-2022's transfer hook feature.

Refunds must be initiated manually from your Stripe dashboard. Because tokens are transferred on-chain, you would need to create a mechanism for the user to send the tokens back to a burn address, or you would need to coordinate off-chain. Spawned does not currently automate token recalls for refunds. It is recommended to establish a clear refund policy for your project.

Yes, you can update the conversion rate at any time from your Spawned project dashboard under the 'Payments' settings. Changing the rate will affect all new Stripe purchases made after the update. Existing token holders and secondary market prices on DEXs are not directly affected by this change.
