Key Insights - 3 Insights

Why do I need both publishable and secret API keys?

Publishable keys are safe to use in the app frontend; secret keys must be kept private and used on the server. See execution_table step 2 where keys are obtained separately.

What happens if I skip testing the payment flow?

Skipping testing can cause errors in live payments. Step 5 in the execution_table shows testing ensures payments work before going live.

Can I accept payments before adding API keys to my app?

No, the app must be connected with API keys first (step 3) to communicate with Stripe and process payments.
