Hi, I don't quite understand your need. Could you add more context please?

Hi Vanya, sure! Our customer will use stripe as billing service from 2024 on. Currently they are exporting open claims (debt against their customers) from their current billing system in order to hand them over to us (for debt collection) - they want to get rid of this process and we are looking for a technical solution to automatically transfer claims from stipe system to our system when they are overdue.

I am not sure how this exactly translates in Stripe technical terms. What Stripe APIs are you using currently?

gentle trout Nov 17, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

We are not using any at the moment. I would like to know what API we should start to integrate to our system in order to pull open claims + customer data that fullfil certain criteria

#

I don't understand what "pull open claims" means unfortunately.

gentle trout Nov 17, 2023, 2:01 PM

#

Well, if our customer bills one of his users and this user does not pay the bill then the claim remains open. I am looking for a way to automatically get all claim related data when eg. invoice_date is X days in the past

#

We need data as customer information (name, adress, telephone, email) and claim information (billing amount, partial payments, invoice date, due date, default date etc.)

Hi there 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away. Claims aren't a type of object in Stripe, so we're not sure what you're referring to or how best to access that data. Is your client using Stripe Billing (I saw you mentioned Invoices) to create and manage their invoices?

Hey Toby! Okay sorry, when I say claims I mean outstanding invoice amounts against users of our clients product.
Yes, our client is using Stripe Billing from 2024 on - they are currently still implementing it

Gotcha, I think our endpoint to list Invoice objects is going to be the best approach then:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/list
You can use the fields shown there to filter down the results that are included. For instance, you can set status to open to only have Invoices that are currently open (have been finalized, but have not been paid) be returned in our response.

Cool, thanks a lot! Is there any kind of sandbox/demo access that you could grant us in order to test?

#

Or can we just ask our client for their credentials so we can directly access their test data?

urban patio Nov 17, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Stripe offers a testmode to all Stripe accounts, where you can see how our system will behave without any real-world impact.

#

For API interactions it's driven by the API key that you use, in the Stripe dashboard it's controlled by the testmode toggle near the top right of the page.

Check, thanks for that Toby! We will then approach our client in order to get their API key/credentials to log in to their demo environment. Will come back if further questions arise 🙂
