 * Hi, I’m new to Stripe and trying your plugin. In the administration section it
   asks for a test and live api key. Stripe has 2 for each (secret and public). 
   Which one do I put into the admin panel (I’m guessing the public key)?

 * You will need the secret keys to perform the operations required. According to
   the [Stripe documentation](https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/dashboard#api-keys):
 * > Publishable API keys are meant solely to identify your account with Stripe,
   > they aren’t secret. In other words, they can safely be published in places 
   > like your Stripe.js javascript code, or in an Android or iPhone app. Publishable
   > keys only have the power to create tokens.
   > Secret API keys should never be published, and must be kept confidentially 
   > on your own servers. These keys can perform any API request to Stripe without
   > restriction.

 * Hi I am excited about your plugin but when I add it to the payment gateways for
   EM Pro absolutely nothing happens when bookings are enabled. The other gateways
   create button on the bookings area but there is no stripe button?????
 * I am using
 * WordPress 3.5.2
    Events Manager 5.4.4 Events Manager Pro 2.3.7
 * Please help

 * Sorry to hear about your problems, can you tell me a little more about your settings?
   When you say “button”, do you mean you have the “Enable Quick Pay Buttons” option
   set? If so, these are for Paypal and offline payments only (i.e. Authorize and
   Stripe require CC information and therefore don’t work in Quick Pay button mode).
 * If not that, then we’ll get to the bottom of it.
