Add the credential once
curl -X PUT https://api.ourseams.com/v1/providers/production \

)The plaintext is encrypted with a cloud KMS key and only ever decrypted inside the request that needs it. It is never written to any store outside the process, never logged, and toString() on the resolved secret returns a masked value.
Reading margin
Per-user profitability is the number your payment processor cannot give you: it knows revenue, and the provider invoice knows aggregate cost. Only the thing in the path knows cost attributed to one customer.
