Obtain your Stripe account's publishable key and create a restricted key. These keys are found in the Developers > Api Keys page. Make sure to use the live keys instead of the test keys so that you are actually collecting funds. In the event that you supply test keys to driventoshow but someone uses a real credit card 'Stripe' will send an error stating the incorrect keys are being used.

  1. Log into your stripe account. In the search bar type "api keys" and a Go To Developers > API Keys. will show. Click this. Make sure test mode is turned off
  2. Click the "Create restricted key" button below the Standard keys section.
  3. Choose the "Providing this key to another website" option & click continue.
  4. Enter Driventoshow as the name and https://driventoshow.com as the url. Check "Customize permissions for this key" & click Continue.
  5. In the table of permissions you can mark "none" for every option except "Charges". Make sure "Charges" has Write permissions. Click Create Key at the bottom of the form.
  6. A window will popup with the new restricted key. Copy this key and store it in a text file or similar because you will need this key in the next steps and you will not be able to copy the key again. Keep this safe!
