Thank you

[neon iris]

let me know if you need any more help

[lofty turtle]

is there a way to trigger actions using Stripe CLI ?
like i want to cancel a subscription using the CLI (for testing purposes) am i able to do that ?

ohh just thought why not run the help command and i found what i needed xD

thanks !

that's weird. i just triggered the following:

stripe subscriptions cancel sub_1LzzUeEDus2gJKdlKKpn8GP8

which ran successfully but no webhook call was made. is that normal?

[neon iris]

perfect!

[lofty turtle]

webhook* not API .

[neon iris]

are you listening using the Stripe CLI?

[lofty turtle]

yes. wait which webhook events does cancelling a subscription trigger?

isn't it subscription_schedule ?

cz i just saw it triggering the following customer.subscription.deleted

[neon iris]

no it's https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.subscription.deleted

[lofty turtle]

ohhh my bad

guess you shouldn't write code when you're feeling sick lol. Thanks Tarzan !

doesnt the subscription cancel trigger invoice actions?

[neon iris]

you should take care of yourself not your code when you're sick

[neon iris]

it really depends on the subscription how you cancel it etc... so basically what are you expecting?

[lofty turtle]

i'm trying to check which events are the ones i should listen to when a customer subscribes, updates, downgrades, or cancels his subscription with us

i thought invoices would be the perfect ones since they do update with payments (failed or accepted) and it tells you if the subscription isn't paid yet

so here's an example:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/invoices/in_1LzzUeEDus2gJKdlxjnxQis2

i created a subscription with multiple items.
i cancelled it and refunded. the refund didn't trigger an invoice event so i can update the invoices on my side accordingly.

[neon iris]

this doc would be a nice start https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

[vernal kestrel]

the refund doesn't generate an invoice.* event yes. But you can e.g trace from the refund.charge.invoice field(https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/object#charge_object-invoice) when handling a refund object
or you can only do refunds using CreditNotes instead but that's a lot of extra complexity I wouldn't recommend personally
