Disconnect the integration

Important: Disconnecting stops data synchronization but preserves existing data in both systems.

  1. Navigate to Your user profile -> Connections or Your workspace -> Manage workspace
  2. Find the Stripe Integration
  3. Click Disconnect and confirm

Data Impact: Existing data remains unchanged in both systems, but sync stops and Autohive loses Stripe API access.

Uninstall the app

From Stripe: Go to your Stripe Dashboard > Developers > API keys and revoke or regenerate the API key used for the Autohive integration.
