The Checkout options object takes a key field set to the public key ID, together with the order ID, amount and currency. The key secret is used only for HTTP Basic authentication on server-to-server API calls and for computing payment signatures, and it must never appear in front-end code, a mobile binary or a public repository. A leaked secret lets anyone create orders, capture payments and issue refunds on the account.

Rotation happens from the dashboard and invalidates the previous secret immediately, so a rotation requires a coordinated deploy rather than a rolling one. Confirm by searching built bundles and mobile artefacts for the secret's opening characters. Keep the secret in a server-side secret store and hand the browser only the order ID and the key ID.
