  </Step>

  <Step title="Run a health Check">
    When everything works as expected, you get a green status indicator for Connection Established. If not, look into the Admin API Key and the Content API Key to add them again.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stripe Indicator">
    Stripe isn't needed to run with PayGlue. If you already have a stripe account connected, we just show a status indicator; no extra work for you.
