Where is the secret key stored and is it encrypted?

    We are building a WordPress site and have integrated Stripe as a payment gateway with the Stripe Plugin. We have inputted our secret key in the Secret Key field found in Woocommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe

    Where is the secret key actually stored (is it stored in source code…db…where?) Someone did suggest it is stored in the database (phpMyAdmin), however, we did check every table but there is no stripe_secrect_key column anywhere to be found.

    Also, is the secret key encrypted whereever it may be stored? This maybe a stupid question…

    WooCommerce version: 5.6.0

    Wordpress version: 5.8

    Stripe Gateway Plugin Version: 5.3.0

    Kind Regards and TIA

    Hi @richag!

    I believe this would be stored to the woocommerce_stripe_settings values found in the options table.

    Also, is the secret key encrypted whereever it may be stored?

    Negative.

    Cheers!
