  scheme: key-prefix
  test_key_prefix: sk_test_
  live_key_prefix: sk_live_

    Secret keys carry an environment prefix. Use a sk_test_ key against the API
    for non-billing / test flows; sk_live_ keys transact real usage and billing.
    The SDK reads DRIP_API_KEY from the environment automatically.
env_var: DRIP_API_KEY
