Researched, not yet run live. Built from the provider’s official pages (linked below). A person hasn’t walked this flow end to end yet, so check each step against the source.

Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Sign in or create a Browserbase account

    Sign in to Browserbase. If you have no account yet, you create it yourself; verapli does not create accounts.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You sign in

    Where: https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in

  2. Copy the API key

    On the dashboard overview page copy your API key (and Project ID if needed) into BROWSERBASE_API_KEY, or run stripe projects add browserbase/project.

    • Guided by hand
    • After: Sign in or create a Browserbase account

    verapli captures BROWSERBASE_API_KEY here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.
