🚀 Key Benefits of Stripe Sync

• Automate Billing Inquiries: Let users check subscription tiers, renewal dates, and unpaid invoice balances directly in chat.
• Safe, Read-Only Operations: Chatzora utilizes restricted, read-only permissions to query account parameters. It cannot initiate charges or alter subscription statuses.
• Email Verification Safeguard: Before retrieving details, the AI requests and verifies the customer's registered billing email to protect account privacy.

   • Subscriptions: Read (Allows checking active plans and renewal intervals)

4. Click Create key and copy the generated key (starts with rk_live_... or rk_test_...).
