@novel sinew hello! What do you call "virtual card"? Are you talking about our Issuing product where you issue cards?
waxen fulcrum
Issuing Cards don't really have a balance
lelouch-issuing-cardbalance
Usually you, as a business, keep track of that in your own database based on their overall usage
waxen fulcrum
yes
waxen fulcrum
are you jsut getting started maybe and haven't read our docs first?
waxen fulcrum
Okay so the first step would be to carefully go through our docs first really, you're going a bit too fast right now
https://stripe.com/docs/issuing/how-issuing-works start there and read through the various objects
novel sinew
oh i was on the api side
i dont get this
do i make the aproval ?
if so how do i know they making payment or recieving ?
the only thing i see about vertual card in the doc is this
waxen fulcrum
You issue a Card. That Card has a number and other details and can be used to pay at other businesses. When they do, you're the issuer, so we ask you if you are okay with the transaction or not. The same as when you use your card on Amazon we ask your bank
But you're going way too fast right now trying to get this to work in seconds without fully reading docs end to end to get a better picture of Issuing as a product first
novel sinew
ahaha sorry
i do get u
like u said u ask us if to aprove or not
but my main question is where ? at dashboard or webhook or both ?
waxen fulcrum
Imagine you are on Amazon paying. You don't expect someone at that bank to see the transaction and approve it manually in a Dashboard right?
novel sinew
yep correct
waxen fulcrum
so it's all done automatically via code. You would get an Event on your webhook endpoint and you have 2 seconds maximum to respond
novel sinew
ah what i am after
waxen fulcrum
but really if you go from random doc to random doc you're going to regret it quickly 😅
novel sinew
ahahah ya
i didnt know that section for vertual cards too
i think they should put it there so we know its for both
i can see more at the doc thanks
one more question
can i test the vertual card in dev mode ?
waxen fulcrum
yes it all works fine in Test mode
novel sinew
but does the webhook work in test mode ? i rememeber might need the stripe cli
waxen fulcrum
yes it works fine in Test mode
novel sinew
oh i meant this
is it possible to use localhost ?
kinda always annoying to open the cli always
waxen fulcrum
how would we send a request to your localhost from our server though?
waxen fulcrum
You need the CLI or you have to use a third-party tool like https://ngrok.com
novel sinew
yeop i use that now
waxen fulcrum
but in both cases you do need that running locally on the machine
