# Getting Stripe Keys

When you run `npm run dev` for the first time, it will open up the stripe dashboard and ask you to add your stripe keys into the .env file. You can find these keys in [dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys](https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys).

Copy these keys over to your `.env` file or paste it into the CLI when requested.
