Stuck on "Invalid Claim Token" for Stripe Integration – Need Advice Before Publishing

Hi Replit Community,

I’m Scott, an artisan developer working on a project called Lithic Lens. I’ve spent a long time hand-crafting this tool to help researchers analyze stone tool artifacts using two custom metrics we’ve developed: the Ancient Wear Index (AWI) and Micro-Striation Density (MSD).

The app is designed to distinguish between 10,000-year-old archaeological wear and modern artisan marks (like the grip wear I intentionally leave on my pieces).

The Issue: I am at the final stage of publishing my app through Replit, but I’m hitting a wall with the Stripe integration. In the Replit “Publish” workflow, specifically under the “Claim your sandbox” step, I keep receiving the following error:

“Invalid claim token. It may have expired, or is malformed.”

The Context:

  • My Stripe account is already active and I’ve actually processed a successful live payment of $2.99 independently.

  • My bank and descriptors are all set up on the Stripe side.

  • Despite the successful payment, the Replit “Publish” checklist won’t let me move past this “Claim” error to finalize the connection.

My Question: Has anyone encountered this token expiration issue during the Replit-to-Stripe handshake? Should I skip the “Claim” button and manually input my pk_live and sk_live keys into my Secrets, or is there a way to force Replit to recognize my already-active Stripe account?

I want to make sure the “vault” is secure and the webhook is properly synced before I hit that big blue Publish button. Any help from the experts here would be greatly appreciated!

I am indeed locked in here as well. I’ve deleted the integration a few times, tried again. It continuously tells me I have a healthy connection and the keys are in but will not allow me to publish.

anybody have a fix for this? I am currently stuck from publishing because of this.

i had to do this manually, this is the best way, the agent can walk you through but you need to setup webhooks service as well, it will also walk you through this if you ask, you’ll need to do actions on stripe to get all of this to work. Payments are something everyone should get their hands dirty with because its a mission critical piece.

I’m also stuck with invalid claim token. It may have expired or is malformed. Any idea on getting past this?
