Configuring the Stripe API keys

WP Full Pay uses the Stripe API to connect to the Stripe payment service.
You have to configure the Stripe API keys for test mode and live mode in the plugin.

What is test mode and live mode?

Stripe has two workspaces called test mode and live mode.
You can experiment in test mode, and switch to live mode when you’re ready to go live with your integration.
