The admin can enter the API Publishable Key and API Secret Key in the admin configuration to set up the module.

The admin can also access the API credentials for production mode.

To do this, they need to click the “Viewing test data” toggle button to turn off test mode and view the API keys for the live environment.

Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that users set up, and they get triggered by certain events.

The admin can add a webhook in the Stripe Dashboard by navigating to Developers > Webhooks and clicking ‘Add Endpoint’.

The admin can also check the added webhooks from the Stripe dashboard, as shown in the image below.
