# Find your Stripe Credentials

### How to find Restricted API Key

To find the Restricted API Key (Client Secret) from Stripe, follow these steps:

1. Go to Stripe's developer page: [Stripe Developer Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/developers).
2.  Navigate to the [API Keys](https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys) page in your Stripe account.

3.  Create a Restricted API key:

    1. Provide a name for the key to easily identify it.
    2. Grant read-only permissions to all relevant resources (Core, Checkout, Billing, Connect, Orders, Issuing, Reporting, Webhook, Payment Links, and Terminal). Ensure "None" is selected for resources without read-only permissions.
