Constants and hooks

Constants

Put these above the stop editing line in wp-config.php. A constant outranks anything stored in the database, and the screen it belongs to says so rather than pretending the field still works.

Credentials

define( 'OWLDRAFT_PUBLISHER_RESEND_API_KEY', 're_xxxxxxxx' );
define( 'OWLDRAFT_PUBLISHER_STRIPE_KEY_TEST', 'sk_test_xxxxxxxx' );
define( 'OWLDRAFT_PUBLISHER_STRIPE_KEY_LIVE', 'sk_live_xxxxxxxx' );

A credential that does not have to live in the database should not. Press Connect on the Stripe screen anyway — that is what validates the key and installs the webhook.
