Step 1: Connect Stripe

Paste your Stripe credentials below. They're encrypted at rest using your PAYLOAD_SECRET. After saving, click verify to confirm the secret key works.

Where do these come from?

Secret key (sk_test_… or sk_live_…): from dashboard.stripe.com → Developers → API keys. Use a Test key while building, swap to Live before launch.
Webhook signing secret (whsec_…): in dev, run stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe and copy the printed secret. In prod, register your webhook endpoint at dashboard.stripe.com → Developers → Webhooks and copy the signing secret from the endpoint detail page.
Publishable key (pk_…): same API keys page. Optional today — only needed if we ever switch from Stripe Checkout to embedded Elements.
