Hi there

I recommend testing with test clocks in this case: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/testing/test-clocks/api-advanced-usage
You can create a test clock, then a customer and subscription within this clock, then advance the time on the clock to see the subscription cycle. This will trigger webhook events related to subscriptions and invoices

Great, I'll take a look. thanks! Last question, is there anything on the subscription object that will tell me that this is a recurring payment?
crimson tartan
Not sure I follow
A Subscription is the umbrella for recurring payments. Theres a 1 to many relationship between Subscriptions and Invoices, and each Invoice is tied to a single payment
rich agate
Can i differentiate payment 1 from 2?
crimson tartan
When you receive an invoice.paid event, the payload will include an Invoice object. subscription on that Invoice object will have a Subscription ID (so you know it's tied to a parent subscription) or it will be null (if it's a one-off Invoice)

Each Invoice is its own object with its own ID. Each Invoice is tied to a single PaymentIntent (also its own object with is own ID)
