Adding API Keys to BookingHub
Once you have your keys:
In WordPress, go to BookingHub → Settings → Payments → Payment Methods.
Scroll down to the payment gateway you want to configure (Stripe, PayPal or Local Payment).
Paste the keys into the appropriate fields (Publishable key, Secret key, Client ID, Access Token, etc.).
Save changes.
(Optional) Make a test booking to confirm everything works before switching to live mode.
💡 Tip: Always test with Sandbox/Test keys before enabling live payments.
