2. **Navigate to API Keys**:
   * In the left menu, select **Developers** and then **API keys**.
3. If you have not yet created an API key, follow these steps: <https://docs.stripe.com/keys#create-api-secret-key&#x20>;
4. If you already have an API key, follow these steps: <https://docs.stripe.com/keys#reveal-an-api-secret-key-live-mode>
5. Store the API key securely; you'll need it later for authentication.
