Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I am building a page in Power pages site for making payment using Stripe and it is working fine. Now What the problem is I have mentioned the Keys for triggering the Stripe REST APIs explicitly in the HTML Code so anyone who view the page source can see those secret keys. Is there any way to hide this. And regarding this can we use Environment variable concept ? If we can, How to use environment variables in Power pages.

{% assign StripeApiKey = settings['settingName'] %} then use {{ StripeApiKey }} in your JavaScript.

Or simply use {{ settings['settingName'] }}

@Anonymous I am building something similar. Is it safe to retrieve the StripeAPiKey into a Javascript variable? I believe we can still read values inside variables from the page source.

@bssienes Yes, We can still read values inside variables from the page source.
I created the Payment Intent by leveraging Power Automate and getting the client secret in JS variable. With the help of the client secret I am making payment in JS. So I am not exposing the Stripe API Key here in JS.

I have used Site Settings as my environment variables but how can I swap the values when importing from Dev to UAT and from UAT to Prod?

Like with regular Power Platform environment variables, I can use configuration file (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/alm-accelerator/setup-data-deployment-configuration). Is there such thing for Site Setting when doing deployment?
