In your Stripe setting, you get to see the webhook URL of your switch.  This Webhook URL is what you need to fill in.  Then, you need to select "charge.succeeded."

Step 5: Activate your key for production

In stripe, you need to activate your account.  Before you do that, your API account is a test sandbox account.   When your account is still in test mode, you can use the following link to get the test credit card numbers to test your setup. 

```

```

{% hint style="info" %}
When your stripe key is started with "test" keyword, that means this key is a test sandbox key instead of a production key. 
{% endhint %}
