Connect Stripe to Rocket

1

Get your Stripe Secret and Publishable keys

Open Stripe’s Keys documentation to learn how to create and manage your API keys.
Stripe provides two types of keys:
  • Publishable keys (start with pk_) are safe to use on the client side.
  • Secret keys (start with sk_) must be kept confidential and are used on the server side.
Keys also exist in two modes:
  • Test mode for safe development and testing.
  • Live mode for production once you are ready to accept real payments.
Always start with your Test keys, then switch to Live keys before going live.
