Configure the Stripe CLI
The Stripe CLI can handle less common use cases through several additional flags. The most important of these are highlighted below; use --help to see what else is possible.
Use an existing API key
By default, a new API key is generated for the Stripe CLI. To use an existing API key instead, add the --api-key flag:
stripe login --api-key sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc

Working with projects
Use the --project-name flag when you log in to configure different projects. You can then run commands with --project-name to use that configuration.
Terminal Autocompletion
The Stripe CLI supports autocompletion for macOS and Linux to make it easier for you to use the right commands with the CLI.
Set up autocompletion by running stripe completion and, depending on your platform and shell, the relevant instructions are shown to you.
Setup with ZSH on macOS and Linux
Open a new ZSH shell and run the following commands:
stripe completion mkdir -p ~/.stripe mv stripe-completion.zsh ~/.stripe
Add the following lines to your .zshrc file:
# The next lines enables shell command completion for Stripe fpath=(~/.stripe $fpath) autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -i

Open a new Bash shell and run the following commands:
