Hi, can you add ore details here please? I'm not fully understanding the ask here.

#

So im using Python, and i want to be able to notify the user when a invoice has been payed. But i have no idea if i can do that and if so, then how

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 9:41 PM

#

You'd want to listen to https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-invoice.paid event in this case.

#

This webhook event will be fired when an invoice is paid

#

So just loop through the recent events and if its that type then do x, right?

#

Just wanna make sure haha

#

and it would be the "type" that would identify it

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

What do you mean by 'type'? Can yo share an example?

#

Can you share this request id? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

#

I'm unsure what you're asking here sorry, can you help reword this?

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

That in the API docs

#

And all good i think i got it

#

Is there a way to simulate this event so i dont have to send money to myself every time i want to test it?

#

In test mode, you can simulate any of the scenarios without moving any funds with these test cards, https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses

#

Additionally, you can trigger events via the Stripe CLI, https://stripe.com/docs/cli/trigger

#

Oh cool

#

So with the test mode, al i need to do is toggle it in the dashboard and all my requests and etc is sent to the test mode?

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

that is correct. If you want to test it programmatically, you can use your test API key: https://stripe.com/docs/keys

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

Ah cool

#

How can i get a test key API

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

It would be located in your Dashboard, https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

Ah yeah got it

#

So, in test mode how can i pay an invoice?

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

You can use the test cards from here, https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses. Specifically, the 4242 card: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

Is there a way to pay the invoice in the dashboard in test mode?

#

Trying to make a system that generates invoices that a customer can then pay through Stripe

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

yes, you can add the 4242 to the customer and click Charge customer.

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

ohhhh i was looking at the wrong thing 🤣

#

Ah works, that is so cool haha

#

One more thing

#

Is there a way to add a field to the event so i can set it as that my code has looked over it already? So i dont log the same invoice multiple times?

plucky ivy Nov 3, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

Hmm, I do not understand the question. Can you reword it please?

visual rose Nov 3, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

All good i think i got it
