Setting up credentials for Stripe in Soapbox

If you are using Stripe as your payment processor, you will need to get credentials for your account to enter into Soapbox. These can be found by logging into your Stripe account, navigating to Developers > API Keys.

You will need to note each of the following:

• Publishable Key
• Secret Key
• Default Plan

How you enter these credentials in Soapbox is determined by the version of the Soapbox administrator your site has.

1. Login to your Soapbox Engage administrator

3. For Payment Gateway, select Stripe
4. For Publishable Key, enter the information from your Stripe account
5. For Secret Key, enter the information from your Stripe account
6. For Test Mode, select No, if you are using a Stripe production account, or Yes, if you are using a Stripe sandbox account for testing purposes
7. Click Save Payment Processor Settings

For Soapbox sites using the Soapbox CMS administrator:
