Overview
Connect third-party services to your store from Settings → Integrations. This page is split into two sections: Stripe (payments) and Umami (analytics).
Stripe Connect
Stripe is the payment processor powering your storefront. Until you connect a Stripe account, your store cannot accept customer payments, process refunds, or display your balance and payout history.

Connecting your Stripe account
- Go to Settings → Integrations.
- In the Stripe Connect card, click Connect with Stripe.
- You'll be redirected to Stripe to authorize the connection. Sign in to your existing Stripe account or create a new one.
- After authorizing, you'll be returned to the Integrations page. The card will update to show a Connected badge and your Stripe Account ID.
Stripe handles the entire authorization handoff securely. Your Stripe credentials are never stored by SimplePress.

Once connected
- Your Stripe Account ID is displayed for reference.
- Payments from customer orders are deposited directly into your Stripe account according to your Stripe payout schedule.
- You can open your Stripe Dashboard at any time using the Open Dashboard button.
Automatic Tax Collection
When your Stripe account is connected, you'll see an Automatic Tax Collection toggle. When enabled, Stripe Tax automatically calculates and adds sales tax to every checkout session.
Before enabling this, you must have active tax registrations set up on your Stripe account for the states where you collect tax. Enabling the toggle without registrations will return an error — no changes will be saved.
- To manage your tax registrations, visit your Stripe Tax Dashboard (linked from the error message if one appears).
- For a full guide on sales tax, nexus, and how to set up Stripe Tax, see Settings → Tax.

Disconnecting Stripe
Click Disconnect to remove your Stripe account from the store. You'll be asked to confirm before anything is removed.
Important: Disconnecting Stripe immediately disables payment acceptance on your storefront. Existing orders and their history are not affected, but you will not be able to process new refunds until you reconnect.
What you can do:
- Connect a Stripe account via OAuth
- View your connected Stripe Account ID
- Open your Stripe Dashboard directly from the admin
- Enable or disable Automatic Tax Collection
- Disconnect your Stripe account
What you cannot do:
- Accept customer payments before Stripe is connected
- Enable Automatic Tax Collection without active Stripe Tax registrations on your connected account
- Change your payout schedule or timing — that is controlled by Stripe on your account directly
- Process refunds without an active Stripe connection
Umami Analytics
Umami is a privacy-focused, open-source analytics tool that tracks visitor behavior on your storefront without storing personal data or using cookies.
Note: The Umami section only appears if the platform has analytics enabled. If you don't see it, it has not been activated for your account.

Setting up Umami
- If you don't have an Umami account, click Sign up for Umami in the card to create one.
- In your Umami dashboard, add your storefront URL as a website and copy the Website ID (a string like
abc123-def456-ghi789). - Paste the Website ID into the Website ID field in the Umami card.
- Toggle Enable Analytics on.
- Click Save Changes.
When both the Website ID is filled in and the toggle is on, the card shows an Enabled badge. If either is missing, analytics will not be collected even if the toggle is on.
What Umami tracks
Umami collects page views, referrer sources, browser/device data, and session durations — all without cookies or personally identifiable information. Data is visible in your Umami dashboard, not within the SimplePress admin.
What you can do:
- Enter your Umami Website ID
- Enable or disable analytics tracking on your storefront
- Access the Umami sign-up page from within the admin
What you cannot do:
- View analytics data inside the SimplePress admin — all reporting is in your Umami dashboard
- Use a different analytics provider through this integration (Umami is the only supported option)
