Hello! You can update the receipt_email on the Charge: https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update#update_charge-receipt_email

Hey there! I have the receipt email which is great. It's actually sending the receipt again which is the issue

#

I see that the email will resend if i change the email address on the charge (if I'm reading correctly), but it's only the Customer's name that is being updated unfortunately

Right. The documentation for updating that parameter linked to above reads:

This is the email address that the receipt for this charge will be sent to. If this field is updated, then a new email receipt will be sent to the updated address.

#

That's fine, you should be able to update the email to the same email to resend it.

ahhh interesting. Alright I'll try this out now. Thanks!

#

Hmm nothing so far. Is this supposed to work for receipts that were already sent?

#

Yep, it should. This is in live mode?

hushed rivet Oct 6, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

It is. Wondering if it's because it was refunded. I can dig for another

#

Ah, I was mistaken! You can't update to the same email. What you have to do is update to an empty string, then update back to the same email.

#

Sorry about that!

#

ah gotcha. I'll try that

#

ah ha! Worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

#

Life saver
