In the Console, click Settings then Create app. Think of an app as one of your products — give it a friendly name like "My SaaS" and we'll take care of the rest.

Paste your Stripe secret key into the Console and we'll do the rest — including setting up the webhook that keeps subscriptions, plans, and seats in sync automatically. The whole thing is four clicks.

Organizations are your customers' workspaces. Create one from the dashboard to test things out — name it whatever you'd like (we suggest "Acme Co" so it's obvious it's a test).

Last step. Open the org you just made, click Members, and invite someone using their email address. They'll get a friendly invite link in their inbox. That's it — you're set up.

Common questions 💭

If you don't see your question here, send us a note — we read every one.

Not at all. Control Plane has a web console for all setup steps. The API and SDK are for developers who want to integrate deeper — you can ignore them entirely if you want.

We currently support Stripe, with more providers coming soon. If you use a different payment provider, reach out at setup@aaronchangai.org and we'll add it.

Most users are fully set up in under 15 minutes for the first time. If you've connected Stripe before, you can usually finish in under 5.
