Final Verdict: Is Spawned's Stripe Integration Right for You?

A direct integration that turns payments into automated token rewards.

Deploy the Spawned Stripe integration if your token project requires reliable fiat on-ramps and automated revenue management. This setup is specifically designed for creators who want to monetize their community through direct payments, subscriptions, or NFT sales while using Spawned's built-in revenue and reward mechanics.

The integration directly supports the platform's core economics: the 0.30% creator fee per trade and the 0.30% ongoing holder reward. By connecting Stripe, you enable a professional payment flow without needing custom backend code for payout splitting. This is a practical alternative to platforms that offer no built-in payment gateways or revenue-sharing tools.

Consider this integration essential if you plan to sell access, merchandise, or digital goods tied to your token. It future-proofs your project for the 1% perpetual fee structure after graduating from the launchpad. Learn about launching gaming tokens to see how payments integrate with specific token types.

Stripe on Spawned vs. Other Payment Methods

How automated fee distribution sets this integration apart.

Understanding how Stripe fits within Spawned's ecosystem helps you choose the right payment path. Unlike manual setups or other gateways, this integration is built to work with the token's smart contract for automatic fee distribution.

Feature	Spawned + Stripe Integration	Manual Crypto Payments	Other Launchpads
Fiat to Token Flow	Direct conversion via connected Stripe account.	Requires manual bridging or exchange.	Often not supported.
Fee Automation	0.30% creator & 0.30% holder fees auto-distributed.	Manual calculation and transfer required.	Typically 0% creator fees (e.g., pump.fun).
Holder Rewards	Built into payment processing.	Must be programmed separately.	Rarely offered.
Post-Launch Fees	Supports 1% perpetual fee model (Token-2022).	Unrelated to launchpad structure.	Varies widely.
Setup Cost	0.1 SOL launch fee + Stripe processing fees.	Gas fees + development time.	Often higher platform fees.
Website Integration	Works with included AI website builder.	Requires custom development.	Usually external.

The key advantage is automation. The integration ensures that for every $100 processed through Stripe, $0.30 is automatically allocated to the creator revenue pool and another $0.30 to the holder reward pool, according to Spawned's model.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Deployment

Gather these items before starting the Stripe deploy process on Spawned. Missing one will block your progress.

A live Solana token launched on Spawned. You cannot integrate pre-launch.
An active Stripe account in good standing, with payout details verified.
Your Spawned project dashboard access and admin permissions.
The public key for your token's treasury or revenue wallet.
Basic understanding of webhook endpoints (Spawned will provide a URL).
Decide on the payment products (e.g., one-time, subscription) you'll offer.

Step-by-Step Deployment Guide

A linear, seven-step process to connect and activate payments.

Follow these steps in order to connect Stripe to your Spawned token project.

Access the Integrations Panel: In your Spawned project dashboard, navigate to 'Settings' > 'Payments & Payouts'.
Initiate Stripe Connect: Click 'Connect with Stripe'. You will be redirected to Stripe's OAuth page to authorize Spawned.
Configure Payout Splits: Once connected, you'll see a configuration screen. Here, you must define the wallets for the 0.30% creator revenue and the 0.30% holder rewards. Spawned will suggest defaults based on your token contract.
Set Up Payment Products: Create your first 'Payment Link' or 'Product' within the Spawned interface. This could be for token purchases, NFT mints, or subscription access. Assign a Solana recipient address for the net proceeds.
Enable Webhooks: Copy the webhook endpoint URL provided by Spawned. In your Stripe Dashboard, go to 'Developers' > 'Webhooks' and add this endpoint for events like payment_intent.succeeded and charge.succeeded.
Test the Flow: Use Stripe's test mode and a small amount (e.g., $1) to complete a payment. Verify that the payment appears in your Spawned dashboard and that the test wallets receive the correct micro-fee allocations.
Go Live: After successful testing, toggle the integration to 'Live' in your Spawned dashboard. Embed the provided payment buttons or links into your AI-built website.

For context on launching the token itself, refer to our gaming token launch guide.

Understanding the Fee Flow: A Concrete Example

How $100 turns into creator revenue, holder rewards, and platform sustainability.

Let's trace the money for a $100 purchase made through your integrated Stripe button.

Stripe Processing Fee: Stripe deducts its standard processing fee (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30). From $100, approximately $96.80 remains.
Net to Creator Treasury: This $96.80 is sent to the Solana wallet you configured in Step 4 of the deployment.
Spawned Platform Fees: Simultaneously, Spawned's smart contract calculates its fees based on the original trade value as tracked on-chain.
- Creator Revenue Fee: 0.30% of $100 = $0.30. This is allocated to the creator's revenue pool.
- Holder Reward Fee: 0.30% of $100 = $0.30. This is distributed to token holders staked in the reward program.
- Future-Proofing: This mechanism is designed to also support the 1% perpetual fee after your token graduates from the launchpad, split according to the Token-2022 program rules.

This example shows the integration doesn't add extra fees; it automates the distribution of the fees already part of Spawned's economic model. The $0.30 + $0.30 allocations happen atomically with the trade settlement.

Troubleshooting Common Deployment Issues

Quick fixes for the most frequent setup hurdles.

If your integration isn't working, check these points first.

Problem: 'Payouts Pending' in Stripe.
- Solution: Verify your bank account and identity verification are complete in Stripe. Spawned cannot send funds to an unverified account.
Problem: Webhook events not appearing in Spawned dashboard.
- Solution: Ensure you copied the exact webhook URL from Spawned and selected the correct events (payment_intent.succeeded is essential). Test the webhook from the Stripe dashboard.
Problem: Holder rewards not distributing.
- Solution: Confirm the holder reward wallet address in your Spawned payout configuration is correct and that the token's reward program is active. The 0.30% fee only distributes if the program is live.
Problem: Payment button not working on AI-built site.
- Solution: Clear your site's cache in the AI website builder and re-publish. Ensure the embed code is placed in an HTML/Custom Code block correctly.
Problem: Mismatch between received SOL and expected USD amount.
- Solution: Remember the final SOL amount sent to your treasury is after Stripe fees and conversion at the time of settlement. This is a function of Stripe's exchange rate, not Spawned.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Spawned does not charge an additional platform fee for the Stripe integration itself. You pay the standard 0.1 SOL launch fee to use Spawned. The fees that apply are: 1) Stripe's own processing fees (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30), and 2) Spawned's standard tokenomics fees (0.30% creator revenue and 0.30% holder reward per trade), which are automated by the integration.

Currently, Spawned offers a direct, automated integration specifically for Stripe. This is because the system is designed to connect Stripe's webhook data directly to the smart contract for fee distribution. Using other gateways would require manual payout handling and would not automatically trigger the 0.30% holder rewards. For automated fee distribution, Stripe is the supported solution.

When a payment is successfully processed, the integration signals the token's smart contract. The contract then mints or allocates tokens worth 0.30% of the transaction value (in USD terms) to the holder reward pool. These rewards are then distributed to staked holders based on the token's specific reward schedule (e.g., daily, weekly) that you set up in your Spawned token dashboard.

The integration is built to be persistent. After graduation, when the 1% perpetual fee model (via Token-2022) takes effect, the Stripe integration will continue to operate. It will automate the distribution of that 1% fee according to the new rules, ensuring a smooth transition for your payment processing and community rewards without needing to re-deploy.

Yes. The integration uses Stripe Connect, which is a secure, certified PCI DSS Level 1 service. Customer payment information is handled directly by Stripe and never touches Spawned's servers. Spawned only receives transaction success/failure data and the necessary amount details to calculate the correct fee allocations on-chain.

Absolutely. You must use Stripe's 'Test Mode' for all initial setup. Spawned's dashboard will also operate in a test state when linked to a Stripe test account. This allows you to simulate payments with test card numbers and verify the entire fee distribution flow without moving real money.

Basic coding knowledge is not required for the standard deployment outlined in this guide. The Spawned dashboard provides a visual interface for connecting accounts and configuring wallets. The only technical step is pasting a webhook URL, which is copy-and-paste. However, for custom payment flows or deep website integrations, developer help may be needed.
