Tips to keep your API key safe:
Keeping your API keys secure is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to your store and potential data breaches.
• Treat API Keys Like Passwords: Your API keys grant access to your data and services. You should treat them with the same level of confidentiality and security as your strongest passwords.
• Avoid Hardcoding Keys Directly into Code:
If you're a developer: Never embed API keys directly into your client-side code (like JavaScript in a browser) or commit them to public version control systems (such as GitHub). This makes them easily discoverable.
• Securely Store and Transmit Keys:
As a store owner: Make sure that any internal systems or employees handling API keys are using secure, encrypted storage methods.
Always use secure communication protocols (like HTTPS/TLS) when transmitting API keys.
• Educate Your Team: Ensure everyone on your team who works with API keys understands the importance of security best practices and the potential risks of mishandling them.
