Benny’s hosted checkout solution is able to accept bank card payments through your existing Stripe integration. To do so, you must:
  1. Create a Stripe Restricted Key for your Stripe production and sandbox environments. Benny uses this key to collect payments and issue refunds on your behalf.
  2. Share your Stripe Publishable Key. Benny uses this key to save customer payment methods, scoped to your organization only, on their accounts.
These keys are securely persisted in the Benny EBT merchant dashboard.
A Stripe Restricted Key limits Benny’s access to accept payments and handle returns only. Don’t share an API with more permissions.
