-----------------------------------------------

To run Postman Flows templates that use Stripe, you need to set up authorization between Stripe and Postman. You can do this by creating an API key for Stripe and saving it as an environment [variable](/docs/sending-requests/variables/variables-intro/) in Postman.

Before you get started, you need:

* A [Stripe](https://dashboard.stripe.com/login) account
* A Postman [environment](/docs/sending-requests/variables/managing-environments/) to run the flow

## Create a Stripe API key

To create a Stripe API key to use with Postman Flows, do the following:

1. Log in to [Stripe](https://dashboard.stripe.com/login).

2. In the Developer Dashboard, select [API keys](https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys).

3. Select **Create secret key** to create a new key.

4. Copy the key, and then save it as a variable in your Postman environment named `Stripe_Api_Key`.

## Next steps

After you've completed your Stripe configuration, you can return to the flow template or set up authorization for another integration in Postman.
