If you use Stripe, you can integrate it directly with StoreConnect. Stripe works for:\n\n-   Standard checkout transactions\n-   Subscription and recurring payments\n-   Express checkout (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Stripe Link)\n-   Pre-authorization\n-   3D Secure (3DS) authentication\n\n## What you need\n\n-   A Stripe account\n-   A publishable key and secret key from your Stripe Dashboard\n\n## Step 1: Get Stripe credentials\n\n1.  Sign in to your [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/).\n2.  Go to **Developers \u003e API keys**.\n3.  You can use the **Standard Keys** or create a set of **Restricted Keys**.\n\n    ![Stripe Secret Keys - Example](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1767928453/knowledge/payment-providers/StripeKeysSecrets_cc9qel.png)\n\n4.  Copy the **Publishable key** and **Secret key**.\n\nUse **test mode** keys (`pk_test_...` / `sk_test_...`) for sandbox testing and **live mode** keys (`pk_live_...` / `sk_live_...`) for production. StoreConnect detects the mode automatically from the key type — no separate sandbox/production switch is required.\n\n[Learn more about API keys in Stripe](https://docs.stripe.com/keys).\n\n## Step 2: Configure Stripe as a payment provider in StoreConnect\n\n1.  Open StoreConnect and go to **Settings \u003e Payments \u003e Payment providers**.\n2.  Select **New**. The Payment provider information window opens.\n\n    ![Stripe payment provider info](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1767929522/knowledge/payment-providers/StripeNewPP_vto5ax.png)\n\n3.
