'Secret' key to authenticate hmac - Payments Apps API

[sahil_197]

Hi Team,

This is with regards to the new Payments apps platform. I represent a payment provider who is currently in the process of integrating with this new payments platform. 

My query is on the hmac authentication process. In the verification section (OAuth based - https://shopify.dev/apps/auth/oauth#verification), the following sample is given:-

Is the 'secret' key's value the same as the 'API secret key' assigned to us?

Hey @sahil_197 

Yes, that would be correct, they are one and the same - same one as seen here in the App Partner Dashboard(docs), which is a secret shared between Shopify and the app.
