  </Step>
</Steps>

### 3. API Keys & Credentials

<Warning>
  **Critical**: Never expose your production API keys in client-side code or public repositories.
</Warning>

```javascript theme={null}
// ✅ Good - Using environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.WEPAYMENTS_API_KEY;

// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded key
const apiKey = 'live_sk_1234567890abcdef';
```

**Production API Keys Checklist:**

* [ ] Generate production API keys
* [ ] Store keys in secure environment variables
* [ ] Remove all test keys from production code
* [ ] Implement key rotation policy
* [ ] Restrict API key permissions
* [ ] Configure allowed IPs for API requests

<Info>
  **Important**: After accessing the production panel, configure the allowed IPs that can make API requests. This adds an extra layer of security to your integration. [Learn how to configure allowed IPs](https://support.wepayments.com.br/support/legal/api-authentication#step-4-configure-allowed-ip-addresses)
