Hi 👋

You can do this in the Dashboard

#

https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks

#

Hi, like this?

#

what makes this a test endpoint different from live endpoints?

#

how will stripe know?

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Are you in Test mode?

#

OR, you could use your Test mode API key and create the endpoint with the API

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/webhook_endpoints/create

#

i have a test mode api key

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

👍

#

sorry I'm new to stripe, trying to figure out how this works, have to work on some legacy code project that has already the implementation for test and live, and i have the api keys defined for test and live in my project

#

i'm just not sure how the api key is attached to this endpoint i create from webhooks dashboard

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

let's just ignore api key for now.

#

Both the API key and the Dashboard check which mode you are operating in

#

When using the API, the API key determines the mode

Live API key - live mode
Test API key - test mode

#

When you are using the Dashboard, the Test mode toggle switch in the header determines what mode you are in

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

isn't it true that you can have test mode on a dev site and live mode on production site without enabling test mode from the stripe dashboard?

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

isn't it true that you can have test mode on a dev site and live mode on production site
That is determine by what API key you use, since sites are not the Dashboard

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

i have two api keys, one for test and one for live, and my code depending on environment loads the respective api key

on these screenshots you can see i have stripe implemented, and i can do a purchase with the test card
after purchase i load from my site a confirmation page
All this works without enabling test mode from stripe dashboard.

#

however in my stripe dashboard I can't see any test webhook added, nor can't see test API key that i have in my application and seemingly working

#

and my subscriptionsAction() function seems to be not triggered, so i'm assuming somethig might be missing in the test mode

#

my dev site (dev.lines.com) is also not added anywhere that i can see in stripe

#

as i understand it, i should have a webhook added to dev.lines.com in stripe in order for my "subscriptionsAction()" (from my api controller) to be triggered

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:35 PM

#

SOrry but you are not understanding how this works at all

#

Test mode isn't enabled by the Dashboard

#

It is entirely determined by what API keys you use

#

UNLESS you are doing someting in the Dashboard

#

The Test mode toggle ONLY APPLIES to the actions you do in the Dashboard

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

ok, so that toggle is for dashboard actions only, sorry got confused with it

#

as it is called test mode as well

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

It's the same Test mode but two different ways to specify it

#

If you create a Customer with your test mode API key, you will only see that Customer in your Dashboard if you have the toggle switch set to Test mode

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

ok, that makes total sense now, and while having test mode on, does it pause transactions on live api key?

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

No

#

The two modes operate independently and the objects do not interact

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

so it's safe to switch it on while testing the dev site, and live site transactions will still work as it needs to

#

alright

#

thank you for explaining this

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

Sure thing! Happy I could shed a little 💡 here 🙂

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

regarding webhook endpoints dashboar i see a button "import test endpoints"

#

if i click on it i see some old dev sites endpoints previously my company had

#

however i don't see the current dev site

#

what action is needed to be able to see dev.lines.com related endpoints there?

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

Have you created dev.lines.com endpoints?

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

adding it from this ui?

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:49 PM

#

Yes, if it does not exist already

#

But it still seems like you do not have much understanding of how this works

#

So I would encourage you to read the documentation carefully.

flint blade Dec 5, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

ok, i think i got it, will have to add the endpoints with the tokens, and specify the events

#

thank you for your help, much appreciated

rapid swan Dec 5, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

Happy to do it!
