Connecting Stripe **doesn't activate the panel action on its own** — it's born **off**, the same "nothing on by default" principle that governs the rest of your agents' resources. The only payment method Stripe serves today is **Card**, and that one is marked from the first moment because it's the only one there is to choose. From the Payments with Stripe card, already **Connected**, click **Details** to open its record. You'll see four tabs: | Tab | What it contains | | --- | --- | | **Resources** | The "Payment methods this connection serves" checklist — today, a single method (Card) that you can uncheck if you don't want the agent to offer it through this specific connection. | | **Agent** | The checklist for the "Notify in the conversation when a payment resolves" panel action and the list of the three agent tools, each with its own Save button. | | **Connections** | The principal connection — the only one for this integration. | | **Status** | The "Test connection" and "Disconnect" buttons. | > **Warning — Figure pending a session with a real key** > > The payment-methods checklist (Resources tab) can only be photographed with a genuinely active Stripe connection — since this guide doesn't create accounts with external providers, that screenshot remains pending the dedicated session with a real test key (see this task's report). In the meantime, the mechanism is the same as the rest of this platform's checklists: checkboxes + a "Save methods" button. The **"Manage in Agent control"** link on the Agent tab takes you to the screen where you decide whether "Notify in the conversation when a payment resolves" and each tool are **Internal** (only your team) or **Both** (your customers too) — Manual 52 · Agent control and permissions covers that screen in detail. The **"What can Payments with Stripe do"** button (the *i* icon) on the card itself shows this same summary without needing to connect yet. The example below uses **Google Sheets** (already connected in this test tenant) to show what the Agent tab really looks like once there's a connection — with Stripe connected you'll see a single panel action (instead of three) and the three payment tools described above, instead of Sheets' own.
