    ## Authentication

    Pass your API key as a Bearer token in every request.

    - **Secret Key** (`sk_live_*`, `sk_test_*`): Server-side. Full access to
    Admin + Storefront APIs.

    - **Publishable Key** (`pk_live_*`, `pk_test_*`): Client-side. Storefront
    API only.


    ## Customer Authentication (Storefront)

    Storefront endpoints that require customer identification
    (/storefront/customers/*, /storefront/orders/*)

    need the `X-Customer-Token` header.

    1. From your backend, call `POST /admin/customers/{id}/token` with an `sk_*`
    key to issue a token

    2. From the frontend, send requests with the `pk_*` key + `X-Customer-Token`
    header


    ## Pagination

    Uses cursor-based pagination.

    - `limit`: Page size (default 20, max 100)

    - `starting_after`: Return results after this ID

    - Response includes `has_more` and `next_cursor`


    ## Money

    All amounts are integers in the smallest currency unit (KRW=won, USD=cents).


    ## Rate Limiting

    All responses include the following headers:

    - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Max requests per minute (by plan: Free 100, Starter
    500, Pro 2000, Enterprise 10000)

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Remaining requests in current window

    - Returns `429 Too Many Requests` when exceeded


    ## Idempotency

    Include an `Idempotency-Key` header with payment/order-related POST requests
    to receive the original response for duplicate requests with the same key.

    Recommended for: checkout, refund, and payment creation
