Available today, developers and coding agents can provision and deploy to Netlify directly from Stripe Projects. This CLI-based workflow lets teams and coding agents stand up production infrastructure straight from the terminal, with credentials, environment variables, and billing handled for them.
What makes this more than a provisioning integration is what happens next. Stripe Projects helps start the app setup. Netlify gives developers and coding agents a place to keep building, deploying, and moving a project toward production on the same platform.
Netlify is a launch and design partner for Stripe Projects, and we co-designed the integration protocol that standardizes how providers handle provisioning, plan selection, upgrades, and credential handoff. The result is a single, deterministic command path that works the same whether a human or a coding agent is driving. This is a great win for developers and the advancement of (agent experience) AX patterns in the industry.
Why this matters for Agent Experience
The web is being built by agents now, not just by people. The platforms that win the next decade will be the ones that make it effortless for an agent to take a brief, generate a working app, provision the infrastructure it needs, and ship it to production without bouncing through five browser tabs and an OAuth flow.
That is what Stripe Projects unlocks, and it is exactly why Netlify pushed to be in the first wave of providers. Our job is to lead the industry on Agent Experience, the same way we led on Developer Experience for the last decade. That means:
- No browser pop-ups in the middle of a build. An agent can link a Netlify account, provision a site, and deploy without breaking flow.
- Credentials and environment variables sync automatically into the local
.envand the Stripe vault, so the agent never has to ask the user to paste a key. - The same CLI commands work for humans, CI pipelines, and agents. One auditable path, one mental model.
Credentials land securely, automatically
When Stripe Projects provisions your Netlify account, your credentials sync directly into your local .env and Netlify’s encrypted environment variable store. No copying or pasting. Secret values are write-only after they’re set: the raw values are only accessible to code running on Netlify’s systems, never exposed in logs, the UI, or the API. Netlify’s built-in secret scanning then checks every build for leaked values before anything is published. It’s one auditable credential flow, from provisioning through deployment.
What you can do with Netlify in Stripe Projects today
Using the Stripe CLI with the Projects plugin, you can:
- Link an existing Netlify account or have a new one created for you
- Provision a new Netlify site directly from the terminal
- Deploy and host your application on Netlify as part of a unified setup alongside your database, auth, and analytics providers
- Sync Netlify credentials into your local environment automatically
- You now have the Netlify CLI available in this setup to continue interacting with Netlify directly
Get started
Install the Stripe CLI plugin, initialize a project, and add Netlify:
stripe plugin install projects
stripe projects init my-app
stripe projects add netlify/hostingThe developer preview provisions a Stripe sandbox account by default, so you can build and test without touching real money. When you’re ready to go live, connect your existing Stripe account from the Netlify dashboard and your credentials update automatically. No rewiring required.
From there, add any layer your app needs. Stripe Projects handles the credential exchange and writes everything into your .env for you.
If you’re working with a coding agent, point it at the project and ask it to set up the services your repo needs. The agent uses the same CLI commands you would, which means every action is auditable and reproducible.
What’s next
Stripe Projects and the Netlify integration are available today. We are shipping fast from here: expect deeper integration with Netlify’s deploy primitives, environment variable scoping for preview and production, and richer agent context as the protocol matures.
Get the Stripe CLI, install the Projects plugin, and deploy your first site to Netlify in a single terminal session. Learn more at projects.dev and start building.
The web’s next era will be built by agents on behalf of humans and we’re here to support everyone involved.
