API Keys

Stripe uses two key pairs: publishable (client-side) and secret (server-side).

• Dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
• Test keys start with pk_test_ and sk_test_
• Live keys start with pk_live_ and sk_live_
• Store secret keys in environment variables, never in source code
• Restricted keys: create keys with limited permissions for specific services

export STRIPE_SECRET_KEY="sk_test_..."
export STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY="pk_test_..."
