# Stripe Configuration
## API Keys
An API key or application programming interface key is a code that gets passed on by computer applications. The program or application then calls the API or application programming interface to identify its user, developer or calling program to a website.
An API key can act as a secret authentication token as well as a unique identifier.
They are used to guarantee a security channel between Slyk and Stripe.
### Finding keys in Stripe
Please refer to stripe [Learn more about API authentication](https://stripe.com/docs/keys).
