To connect with Stripe, you need 2 types of keys:

  1. Publishable key
  2. Secret key OR Restricted key

#1 is straightforward. You just go here → login to your Stripe account → Copy [Publishable key].

For #2, still on the same Stripe page, if you have your COMPLETE “Secret” key, you CAN use that.

A COMPLETE Secret key looks like this:

But IF there’s an ellipsis, the Secret key is not complete & we CAN’T use it:

Note:

If you’ve previously stored your complete Secret key somewhere, you can also use that.

If we can’t use the Secret key, then we’ll use the Restricted key.
