Stripe sandbox connector blocking Publish — no Delete option available, backend fix needed

Bugs
1

Hi Replit community,

I’ve been stuck for 4 days unable to publish my app
“AUM The Wealth Game” due to a Stripe sandbox warning
that hard-blocks the Publish button.

My setup: I use Stripe via STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in
Secrets directly — NOT through the Replit Stripe
connector. My app is already processing live real
payments successfully.

The problem: A Stripe connector registered on this
project shows “not_setup” status and triggers the
“Finish Stripe sandbox setup” warning on every
publish attempt.

What I’ve already tried:

  1. Integrations → Stripe → Manage → looking for
    Edit/Delete — no such button exists anywhere
  2. Manually removed stripe:1.0.0 from .replit file
    — warning still appears (cached on backend)
  3. Support ticket open since May 31 — Quinn escalated
    to backend team but no resolution yet

Has anyone else hit this? And does anyone know a
workaround to publish despite this warning?

I’m on a Pro Plan with paying subscribers waiting
for updates. Any help appreciated.

Hey @jacquesbernard1 — the Edit/Delete buttons are hidden one click deeper:

Integrations → Stripe → Manage → click your project’s name → Edit → Delete

Editing .replit didn’t work because the connector lives server-side, not in that file. The Delete button is what clears it.

Your payments use your own STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, so deleting the connector won’t break anything.
