👋 happy to help

yes we have test clocks that would let you accomplish this https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks

Hey, thanks, I am checking test clocks right now, but it seems I am unable to load existing payments, I can create new ones only?

e.g. I created subscription yesterday, is there any way to test this subscription using test clocks?

I mean I need to test subscriptions I created using my api /app. So no new subscriptions I created after adding test clocks but subscriptions I already have

[slow seal]

yes that's correct

you'd have to create a test clock then a new customer then a new subscirption

😦

So it looks I am unable to test full flow from A-Z

[slow seal]

what went wrong?

[inner ridge]

Well I needed solution i am able to create all from code, then i can open dashboard, click subscription I am interested in and click "update time" or soemthing

Imo it's good idea to consider as new feature, in test mode to be able to use testclocks for existing subscriptions 😉

hey @slow seal , I have other question. I created test clock and subscription. Then I set time and I am listening for webhook events. I am getting charge.succeded (great) but charge doesn't have metadata which usually subscription I am creating has. Any idea how to track payments then?

We discussed this few days ago, I am trackin charges and balance transactions and that's the data I need (+ metadata containing contract ID )

[slow seal]

it's something that we have considered in the past and decided not to go through with it unfortunately

[inner ridge]

So when user is charged I need to get contract, charge and new balance transaction and save it into our accounts balance

[slow seal]

subscription's metadata doesn't get passed down to charges

and the event that we recommend you use is invoice.paid rather than charge.succeeded

[inner ridge]

Okay, I'll look into it then

Isn't invoice.paid event I need to track only? I want to track payment links, captures, refunds, disputes and everything what causes user is being charged or we return money

[slow seal]

here's the docs for it https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

[slow seal]

yes you can but I mean for when a subscription is paid the invoice.paid event is better suited than the charge.succeeded

[inner ridge]

Okay thanks, I'll check this event, you re right, so far I totally ignored invoice.paid event

let me know if you need any more help
