# Stripe

> How to create OAuth credentials for Stripe.

Stripe supports two authentication methods: **API Keys** (simplest) and **OAuth 2.0 via Stripe Connect** (recommended for multi-user/SaaS apps). Both are managed through the Stripe Dashboard.

## Option 1: API Key (Simplest)

1. **Log in to the Stripe Dashboard**
   * Go to [https://dashboard.stripe.com](https://dashboard.stripe.com)

2. **Find Your API Keys**
   * Navigate to **Developers → API Keys** in the left menu
   * Under **Standard keys**, you'll see:
     * **Publishable key** (starts with `pk_...`) — for client-side use
     * **Secret key** (starts with `sk_test_...` or `sk_live_...`) — for server-side use
   * Copy the **Secret Key** (keep it secure, never expose in client-side code)

## Option 2: OAuth 2.0 via Stripe Connect (Multi-User)

1. **Create a Stripe Connect Integration**
   * Go to Stripe Dashboard → **Settings → Connect**
   * Scroll to **Integration settings** and click **+ Add Integration**

2. **Register Your OAuth App**
   * Fill in:
     * **Name**: e.g., `My Integration`
     * **Redirect URL**: Your OAuth callback URL
     * **Website / Privacy Policy / EULA**: Optional

3. **Get OAuth Credentials**
   * After saving, Stripe generates:
     * **Client ID** (starts with `ca_...`)
     * **Client Secret**
   * Copy both values

4. **Configure Scopes**
   * Stripe OAuth supports two scopes:
     * `read_only` — Read access to the connected account
     * `read_write` — Full access to the connected account
