API Keys

Stripe API Keys can be retreived from your Stripe account dashboard, found under [Your Account] > [API Keys], and look something like this :

You can set the API Keys in the Charge addon in two ways :

1. Directly in the Charge Settings
2. In your site's config file

1. Setting in the Charge Settings

This is the simplest way, and will work well for most uses. Be sure to double check your details before putting any transactions through live.

2. Setting in your site's config file

Alternatively you can override all these settings by assigning values in your site's config file. Specifically you can set :

charge_stripe_account_mode test or live

The mode to run in

charge_stripe_test_credentials_sk

charge_stripe_test_credentials_pk

charge_stripe_live_credentials_sk

charge_stripe_live_credentials_pk

Your various test and live credentials

charge_stripe_currency usd, gbp or eur

The default currency for the transactions. Can be overridden on the form.

Note: Possible currencies are also affected by your Stripe account's settings.
