We have a tool called Test Clocks that let you simulate time passage so that you don't have to wait. Not sure if the CLI can control them but I will check https://stripe.com/docs/api/test_clocks

Stripe API reference – Test Clocks – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

Thank you. For the Test clocks, i will have to do all that on the dashboard yea? Will i be able to use existing subscribing customers that is on my local database, to test this out?

#

You need to create new customers on the test clocks themselves, they don't support existing customers unfortunately

#

You can do API and dashboard at least, quickly checking in to if CLI is possible as well

#

Stripe CLI can also create and manipulate test clocks https://stripe.com/docs/api/test_clocks/create?lang=cli

Okay thank you. But then, if i should create the new customers on the dashboard, how will i be able to update my application with the renewal status to show that the webhook works? sorry for too much questions, but i am really confused, that is why

#

When you advance the webhook (fast-forward the simulated time), Stripe will automatically send out the test mode webhooks that would have been sent out for a normal test subscription

#

So as long as your webhook endpoint is listening for events, it should be able to receive and process these events like normal

#

And yes, you can create the customer via the dashboard, API, or CLI. For the API and CLI you pas in the test clock's ID to the test_clock parameter when creating the Customer https://site-admin.stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-test_clock

Alright, thank you so much. This should help me go some way.

#

I also will like to ask. For the hosted endpoints, there has been some difference between a webhook for connected accounts and webhook for personal accounts. The users who make the subscriptions are the connected accounts, how do i setup so that my connected webhook is being sent these events, do i need to do any speical configuration in my code to distinguish it?

#

The event object will have an account property if it is a connected account event and you can also have your webhooks point at slightly different URLs which would automatically differentiate them https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/object#event_object-account

#

We have this general doc on setting up and configuring these endpoints that I think you may find helpful https://stripe.com/docs/connect/webhooks
