Here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to create new Stripe API keys for a website:
Sign up for a Stripe Account:
Go to the Stripe website (https://stripe.com/) and sign up for an account. If you already have an account, you can skip this step.
Navigate to the Dashboard:
Once you're logged in to your Stripe account, you'll be redirected to the Dashboard.
Access API Keys:
In the Dashboard, navigate to "Developers" > "API keys" in the left sidebar menu. Alternatively, you can click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "API keys".
View or Generate API Keys:
On the API keys page, you'll see two types of keys: "Publishable key" and "Secret key".
If you don't have any API keys yet, you'll see a button to "Create secret key".
Click on the "Create secret key" button to generate a new set of API keys.
Get Your API Keys:
After generating the keys, you'll see them listed on the API keys page.
Copy both the "Publishable key" and the "Secret key". These keys are essential for integrating Stripe into your website.
Integrate Stripe into Your Website:
Depending on your website platform and your specific integration needs, you'll need to integrate Stripe using either client-side or server-side code.
For client-side integration, you'll typically use the Publishable key to initialize Stripe.js in your frontend code.
For server-side integration, you'll use the Secret key to authenticate API requests made from your server to Stripe's API.
Follow Stripe's documentation and guides for your chosen integration method. You can find detailed documentation and code examples on the Stripe website: https://stripe.com/docs
Test Your Integration:
Once you've integrated Stripe into your website, make sure to thoroughly test it to ensure that payment processing and other functionality work as expected. You can use Stripe's test mode to simulate transactions without using real money.
That's it! You've successfully created new Stripe API keys for your website and integrated Stripe's payment processing functionality. Make sure to keep your API keys secure and never expose your Secret key in client-side code or publicly accessible repositories.
Enter publish key and secret key, specify the payment billing name and billing details here.
