6. This page displays a section of ‘Standard Keys’. In this section, two keys are displayed: ‘Publishable Key’ and ‘Secret Key’. Admin can copy these two keys. 
   Please note that the ‘View Test Data’ toggle switch is off in figure 6. This means that the keys displayed are ‘Production Keys’ (also known as live keys).
   To get ‘Sandbox’ keys (also known as test keys), the admin must turn on the ‘View Test Data’ toggle switch. The admin can copy the ‘Publishable Key’ and ‘Secret Key’ from this section. 
   The admin can copy these keys and paste them in the respective input fields provided in their settings (Figure 1). 

Payment Workflow at front-end on the Website

Once the plugin is enabled and keys are configured, please go to the front-end and log into the website as a buyer. Try to place an order. On the payment page, Stripe payment gateway will be displayed if the keys are configured correctly in the admin panel.

Once the order has been placed using Stripe payment gateway, the buyer will be redirected to the Order Confirmation page as shown in the figure.

Now, the admin must login back to their Stripe account and go to the Payments page. All the transactions received will be listed here.

The payments are also listed in the All Transactions tab as well. Please make sure that when using Test API keys, the ‘Viewing Test Data’ toggle must be turned on to view the testing transactions. When switching to Live mode, this toggle can be turned off to view live transactions.
