Configuring the Stripe API keys

Learn where you can find the Stripe API keys, and how to configure them in WP Full Pay.

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.

Test mode and live mode are separate worlds with their own set of objects.
A subscription plan created in test mode is not availabe in live mode, and vice versa.

You can switch between test and live mode on the “Full Stripe / Settings / Stripe account” page:
