Using Stripe Secret Key in Third Party Plugin - Safe?

I’m using this “Stripe Customer Portal FREE” plugin. It’s asking for my Stripe secret key in order to work. Does anyone know how secure it is to be sharing this key in a plugin? I’m unfamiliar with how secret keys are passed to plugins and if it would be visible to the plugin developer. Thanks!

Hey @jeff.warren.orr, it won’t be visible to the plugin developer, but you could also achieve this by using the API connector and making an API call to Stripe

Thank you, Johnny! As long as it doesn’t get surfaced to the developer, that works for my use case. Appreciate the response.
