Hi there
vagrant oak
hello 🙂
ruby sentinel
I think what's happening here is you're triggering an event on your platform account but the endpoint is listening for events that occur on connected accounts
Does that make sense?
vagrant oak
it does, I think
actually, sorry, I'm a bit confused -- because there's only one account in play here, because the app is being installed in test mode to the same account that the endpoint is registered
account acct_1IfGs2KHtUMqOYFU is the account the app is developed under and where the webhook has been created (making it the platform account?) and installed into (making it the connected account?)
ruby sentinel
I see
vagrant oak
but having read the docs, I'm definitely not clear on how this is meant to work, so apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick!
ruby sentinel
I take it these are the docs you're following and the app is currently private to account acct_1IfGs2KHtUMqOYFU? https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/build-backend?public-private=private#receiving-events-webhooks
vagrant oak
the app is running in development on the local server and the stripe-app.json file configuration has "distribution_type": "public",
it is installed in test mode on account acct_1IfGs2KHtUMqOYFU
(I tried to use sandboxes to install it on different test accounts, but sandboxes don't support app installation at the moment)
the intention is that the app will eventually be listed on the marketplace, but I guess it could be considered private for now given it's in development?

Hi 👋
I'm stepping in here since I've installed an App in test mode.
- You need to have a Connect webhook endpoint
- To get the event to generate, you need to install the app on a separate account
In order to get the account.application.authorized event to fire, the account you install the App on needs to be a separate account with no relation to the Account developing the app
But they can both belong to you and only be in Test mode
vagrant oak
ah, ok, good to know! Can I sign up for a new Stripe account in test mode only, or do I go through the regular signup flow for a new account?
heady delta
You can create a new account directly from your dashboard! In the upper left corner there is a section with your account name. If you click on it you should see a drop down menu that includes a button to Create new account
vagrant oak
ok, that's great, thank you
once the app is installed on a test account, will that cause the connect webhook to start receiving all the events listed in the manifest?
heady delta
As long as your app has the correct permissions
vagrant oak
ok, that's great! thanks for your help!
heady delta
Sure thing! Happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂
vagrant oak
if you ever need any feedback on the app development process/docs I'd be happy to give more... I've definitely got lost more than a couple of times!
appreciate all the help, hopefully this will unblock me!
heady delta
I hope it gets you moving forward. It took me a while to finally get everything wired up and in place. One tip is you can install/uninstall the app as much as you want from the other account. This will trigger the authorized and deauthorized events each time
vagrant oak
ah cool, that's a good tip!
