2. Go to properties.

Obtaining Live API Keys

When you first sign up, Stripe will place you in test mode, which only allows access to test API keys. To get your live API keys (required for production use), you must first complete the Stripe setup process. This setup includes verifying your business details, linking a bank account, and activating your Stripe account.

Once your account is set up:

1. Go to the developers section in your Stripe dashboard.

2. Then click API keys.

3. You will find both your publishable key and secret key.

4. Make sure to copy your live keys for production use.

Step 4: Applying the Integration

Once you have securely copied both the publishable key and the secret key, return to your voucher properties.

1. Head back to your SA voucher properties.

2. Paste the keys into the respective fields (Publishable Key and Secret Key fields).
