In Stripe: creating the restricted key

Requirements: a Stripe account (section 2).

1. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and open Developers → API keys (dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys in test mode).
2. Click Create restricted key.
3. You can start from a preconfigured permission set or start with none — choose to start with none so you give only the three minimum permissions.
4. Give it a recognizable name in the Key name field.
5. Mark exactly these three permissions — no more:

Resource	Permission	What the connector uses it for
Payment Links	Write	Generating and cancelling the payment link (“Generate a payment link”/“Cancel a payment link” actions).
Checkout Sessions	Read	Checking a payment’s status (“Check a payment’s status”).
Webhook Endpoints	Write	Registering the automatic notice that confirms when a payment resolves (panel action from section 5).

1. Click Create key and complete the two-factor verification Stripe sends you.
2. Click the key value to copy it — Stripe only shows it in full this first time.
