What is Stripe?
Stripe is a payment processing platform that handles credit cards, subscriptions, and one-time payments securely.
Your Secret and Publishable keys stay safe with Rocket.
They are encrypted at rest and never exposed, so you can connect with confidence.
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.
