Replit can help you find supplies, equipment, or subscriptions, compare options, and complete supported purchases through Link, Stripe’s digital wallet. You choose what to buy and approve the final checkout terms before Replit proceeds.

​
Set up shopping

Start the shopping experience in a chat in your workspace.
1

Ask Replit to help you buy

Describe what you want to purchase. Replit checks whether buying is available and presents any required setup or upgrade prompts.
2

Complete setup

Follow the prompts in your chat. When Replit asks you to connect Link, complete the connection flow and return to the chat. Connecting your wallet does not approve a purchase.
If buying is unavailable for your account or workspace, connecting Link does not override those restrictions.

​
Find and compare products

Describe what you need, your budget, and any constraints, such as size, delivery timing, or preferred retailers. You can also share a product link. Ask Replit to explain trade-offs before choosing. Researching a product does not authorize a purchase. For example, you could say:
Link is your personal payment connection for approving purchases with Replit. You can research and compare products without connecting it. When you’re ready to buy, follow the Link connection prompt if setup is needed. Complete setup in the provided flow, then return to your chat.

​
Complete a purchase

1

Prepare your checkout

Once you choose an item, confirm the merchant, quantity, and options, such as size or color. Replit can prepare checkout and ask for missing information.Before approving payment, review:
  • Your shipping address and contact details
  • The delivery option
  • The final total, including taxes and fees
Prices and availability can change during checkout.
2

Sign in with browser takeover

A merchant may require you to sign in or complete verification. Replit can hand you control of the browser for that step.Complete the requested sign-in or verification in the browser, not in chat. Select Done to return control to Replit.Do not place the order yourself while Replit is preparing the purchase. Replit checks the page again before continuing. Taking control of the browser is not payment approval.
3

Review and approve payment

Review the purchase details in the Link approval flow. Check the merchant, amount, currency, and any recurring terms before approving. Approval gives permission to proceed, not confirmation that payment completed or the merchant accepted the order.If you decline, Replit stops that attempt. If the purchase terms change, Replit asks for a new approval instead of reusing your earlier one.
4

Check your purchase status

Wait for the reported outcome after approval. Payment confirmation and merchant order confirmation are separate: one does not automatically establish the other. Keep any order confirmation or receipt the merchant provides, and ask Replit to clarify what was verified if the result is unclear.
If payment or order status is uncertain, do not submit the same purchase again. A second attempt could create a duplicate charge or order.

​
Buy a subscription

You can also use Replit to purchase fixed-price subscriptions through Link. Subscription approval covers recurring payments, not just a one-time charge. Before approving, review:
  • Charges: the initial and renewal totals, including taxes and fees
  • Frequency: how often the merchant will bill you
  • Authorization: your chosen end date or no scheduled end date for payment permission
Supported subscriptions must have identical fixed initial and renewal totals. Trials, introductory prices, usage-based billing, prorations, and variable renewal totals are not supported. A purchase cannot proceed if its recurring terms cannot be verified. An authorization end date stops permission for new payments. It does not undo an already-authorized payment or cancel the merchant subscription. To cancel the subscription, follow the merchant’s cancellation process and confirm cancellation with the merchant. A chat request alone does not confirm cancellation.

​
Things to know

  • Connecting Link does not approve a purchase or charge you. Payment approval is a separate step.
  • Never paste payment card details, passwords, or verification codes into chat.
  • Buying with Link is separate from connecting Stripe to accept payments in an app.
