   2. Publishable Key - This is your Stripe Publishable Key.
   3. Secret Key - This is your Stripe Secret Key.
   4. Select Environment Mode - This describes whether you are connecting to a Stripe Production or Sandbox Environment. Production is used for processing real transactions. Sandbox is used for testing purposes. Please ensure you’re using the correct credentials for the type of environment you're using.

If you would like to connect this service via API, please use this guide. Note: To utilise new Stripe features, such as connected accounts, GooglePay, and ApplePay via Stripe, etc., you will need a Stripe Publishable Key, as described above. If you connected Stripe to your Paydock account prior to needing a Publishable Key and would like to utilise new Stripe features, you will need to edit your Stripe connected service by going to Services -> find your Stripe connection -> click Actions -> choose Edit and add your Publishable Key.
