hi! no, as far as I know the old token is revoked immediately.

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 8:39 AM

#

So either live or sandbox mode tokens are valid at a time..Its confusing but the tokens are different for sandbox and live mode.

yes that's expected

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 8:56 AM

#

Then why revoking the tokens in sandbox mode when connecting to live mode ?

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 8:58 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:12 AM

#

I am connecting stripe app in sandobx mode using OAuth API then received access and refresh token. Then I'm connecting the app in live mode then received another tokens. My concern is the token in sandbox mode is still remains valid or not?

As per your documentation it says access token remains valid for one hour..

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:13 AM

#

each environment holds their own access token for an hour since they generated it

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

pliant void hi! no, as far as I know the old token is revoked immediately.

but here says in this way

#

what about the refresh token?

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:16 AM

#

I'm pretty sure with sandboxes is different than from test vs live modes

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:17 AM

#

One of our customer reports that refresh token remains valid in only one environment!!

#

I received access_token1 & refresh_token1 in sandbox

access_token2 & refresh_token2 in live

As per your comment, both set of tokens are valid within one hour..right

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:19 AM

#

AFAIK yes

#

are you seeing another behavior?

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

One of our plugin customer says so

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

I know that with live and test mode that's expected as my colleague said

#

my understanding is that this shouldn't be the case with sandboxes

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:22 AM

#

I refertest mode payments as sandbox

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

no

#

test mode is not a sandbox

#

there are few differences between test mode and sandboxes and I think this is one of them

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

In my case I'm mentioning this, please see the screenshot there are 2 links one for test mode and another for live mode

#

tokens in these 2 modes remains valid at same time?

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

in this case my colleague's original response is correct

vale ferry Oct 18, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

winter swift tokens in these 2 modes remains valid at same time?

no they won't

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:29 AM

#

oh!!!

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

So When I first connect in test mode and then switch to live mode, I need to refresh the token in test mode if I switch back again, even if the token was generated within the last hour.?

#

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

My case is
App connected in test mode - received access_token_test and refresh_token_test
Then app connected in live mode - received access_token_live and refresh_token_live

As per your colleague, tokens remains alive only in one environment. Thus When I switch back to test mode, I should need to refresh the tokens in test mode right? So can I use the refresh_token_test for refreshing the access token? Or is there any chance the refresh_token_test is expired after generating refresh_token_live?

manic crypt Oct 18, 2024, 10:02 AM

#

May I understand what is the use case from switching immediately from test/sandbox to live and reverse ?

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 10:05 AM

#

We developed a plugin where the OAuth integration is done recently, authentication method migrated from basic keys to OAuth as per Stripe's migration request. So the customer already connected to their Stripe account using publishable and secret key, needs to re authenticate the connection with their Stripe account

#

So customer who updates our new plugin version are trying to re-connect in test and live mode.

manic crypt Oct 18, 2024, 10:09 AM

#

Great, thank you for the additional details. I still don't get why you need to switch from live to test and from test to live ?

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 10:18 AM

#

Its upon the customers,, If ther encounter any issues in live payments they tried to switch to test mode for debugging the case. Or if they want to try new features like new Stripe payment methods our plugin offers, they first it on test mode

#

Its like customer specific cases

manic crypt Oct 18, 2024, 10:19 AM

#

Ok I see thanks.

#

In this case:

So When I first connect in test mode and then switch to live mode, I need to refresh the token in test mode if I switch back again, even if the token was generated within the last hour.?
Yes you need to refresh the token.

winter swift Oct 18, 2024, 10:21 AM

#

Okay, understood

#

To refresh the token Can I use the same refresh token generated in test mode?

#

Is there any cases expring refresh token in one environment(test mode) after a new refresh token is generated in another environment(live)
