Before you start using the plugin, you need to ensure that you have a Stripe account set up. To set up your Stripe API keys after creating your Stripe account, follow this [link](https://stripe.com/docs/keys).

### Try a temporary Stripe API Key?

If you don't have a stripe account yet but still want to evaluate our plugin, you can simply click the **Import** button which will generate a temporary account from us. You can use it for short-term test purposes. However, since this key may limit some features and settings, we would recommend you to use your own key once you finish the evaluation.

### Webhooks

This step is **necessary** to enable Stripe-hosted checkout redirection and email notifications. For detailed instructions, please refer to this page to configure your Webhooks.
