Step 2.2: Understand Test Mode vs Live Mode

Live Mode

Test Mode

  • Used for real customer payments

  • Charges real credit and debit cards

  • Money is transferred to your bank account

  • Used only for testing

  • Charges demo credit cards only

  • Real credit cards will NOT work

  • If a real card is used, Stripe will show an error

  • Useful to check if your portal is working correctly

Step 3: Switch to Live Mode

  1. On the Stripe dashboard, click Switch to live account

  2. If you have not added bank account details, Stripe will ask you to:

    • Enter bank account information

    • Complete basic verification

  • Stripe will not provide Live keys until bank details are added


Step 3.1: Get Your Live API Keys

Once bank details are added:

  1. Go again to:

    • Developers → API keys

  2. You can now see and copy your Live keys

Key Types and Formats

Live keys start from

Test Keys start from

Publishable key - pk_live

Publishable key - pk_test

Secret key - sk_live

Secret key - sk_test

⚠️ Important

  • Do not share your Keys with anyone


Using Stripe Keys with Foodship

  • Foodship connects to Stripe using API keys

  • Switching Test or Live mode inside Stripe does NOT affect Foodship directly

How It Works:

  • If you add Test API keys → Foodship works in Test mode

  • If you add Live API keys → Foodship works in Live / Production mode

So:

  • Test keys = testing only

  • Live keys = real payments
