# Connect Stripe billing
> Authorize Stripe in live or test mode so Introw can import customers, subscriptions, and invoices to power partner commissions.
Connecting Stripe lets Introw import your customers, subscriptions, and invoices so commission plans calculate on recognized revenue instead of estimated deal value. This guide covers the connect decision that matters most, live versus test mode, and gets Stripe importing, then points you to mapping the data and linking it to partners so commissions can use it. The integration is import-only: Introw reads billing data and never charges customers or moves money.
## What you'll achieve
A connected Stripe account importing billing data into Introw, ready to map and link to partners so commission plans can pay on actual revenue.
## Before you start
Billing integrations are a paid add-on. If the Stripe tile shows **Upgrade plan**, the billing integrations module is not enabled on your plan; contact Introw to add it.
You need permission to connect integrations in Introw and admin access to the Stripe account you are connecting.
## Watch it
## Steps
Go to [Integrations](https://app.introw.io/settings/integrations?category=billing) and stay on the **Billing** category, where the Stripe and Chargebee tiles live.
On the **Stripe** tile select **Connect** to open the **Connect Stripe** dialog, then decide the mode:
* **Use Test Mode** - toggle this on to connect Stripe test data (useful for setup and QA, and it never affects your live Stripe account), or leave it off to connect your live production account where synced customers, subscriptions, and invoices reflect real billing. The connect button reads **Connect Test Mode** or **Connect Live** to match. Use test mode to validate the setup, but run real commissions on live data.
Select the connect button and complete Stripe's authorization. Introw returns with Stripe shown as **Connected** and opens the billing configuration page, where the import begins.
Connecting only brings Stripe in; next, choose which billing objects to import and link them to partners. Follow [Connect your billing data](./connect-billing-data) to finish, then the data is available to commission plans.
## Verify it worked
Stripe shows as **Connected** on the Billing integrations page and the billing configuration page opens for object mapping. After you map and link records, the Stripe source becomes selectable when [building a commission plan](/features/commissions/commission-plans/guides/build-and-launch-a-commission-plan).
