# Having Issues Using Paystack For Checkout

 * I want to use Paystack gateway to accept payments and having done all the necessary
   setup, the error I often get during a test checkout is **‘Paystack API key is
   not configured’** even when everything is properly configured. I always receive
   the order in Fluent Cart though but the checkout process/flow is not always completed.
   
   Is there any fix for this issue at the moment or I’m getting the error message
   because it’s Paystack test credentials I used?Thank you.

 * Hello [@awesomeawesu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/awesomeawesu/),
 * Could you please confirm whether you’ve configured only the **test credentials**
   while your store is currently set to **Live mode**?
 * FluentCart uses the API keys based on the selected store mode. So, if your store
   is in Live mode but only the Paystack test API keys are configured (or the live
   keys are missing), you may encounter the “Paystack API key is not configured”
   error.
 * Kindly double-check that the correct API keys are added for the active store 
   mode and let us know the update.
 * Thank you

 * Thank you so much [@amimulihsanmahdi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amimulihsanmahdi/)
 * You are very correct. My FluentCart store setting was set to live while I use
   Paystack test credentials.
   Test checkout works perfectly now on my site after
   switching FluentCart store mode to **‘test’**Thank you once again.
