Secret key Starts with sk_

If something goes wrong

Test in test mode first. The toggle is at the top of the Stripe dashboard; test keys contain the word "test". Move to live keys once a test payment works.

Stripe will not release money to you until you have completed their business verification. That is between you and Stripe.

If it says the key is wrong: copy it again and check there is no space at the start or end. A key pasted from an email often picks one up.
