Here’s how to generate a Stripe API key for use with picu Pro’s e-commerce integration.

1. Log into your Stripe dashboard and go to “Developers > API Keys“.

2. Click on the “+ Create secret key” button:

4. Give the new key a name, eg. “picu”:

5. Make sure to copy the key and store it somewhere safe, as you won’t be able to display it a second time. (If you forget the key, you have to create a new one.)

6. Finally, paste the key into the picu e-commerce settings:

That’s it! You are now set up to accept payments via Stripe.
