HI 👋

I'm sorry but I don't have the bandwidth to watch a video.

But client_secrets are designed to be safe to expose on the client

#

Oh? I thought you were only supposed to expose the publishable one, hence the name

I think you are confusing the Secret API key with the Payment Intent client_secret

#

The Secret API Key should absolutely never be exposed on the client. It provides complete access to your account

#

But the payment_intent.client_secret https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-client_secret is a property that is used on the client-side to link actions back to the Payment Intent created on the server.

well that helps me a bit, thank you. I guess I was confusing the two. I'm still trying to understand how this all works

No problem, that's why we're here. We have a relatively simple Android integration doc here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android

If you wanted to work through it
