i have some more questions
if a user enrolls in our platform in the stripe dev sandbox, will this user also exist in the qa sandbox?

Are you going to use the same Webhook endpoint for all the environments?
if a user enrolls in our platform in the stripe dev sandbox, will this user also exist in the qa sandbox?
That depends on how you grant the user access. Here's the guide on how you can grant the access in each use case: https://docs.stripe.com/sandboxes/dashboard/manage-access

different webhook endpoint for each environment
willow pollen
In each environment, you can go to its own Webhook page to configure the Webhook endpoint: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/workbench/webhooks
The top left corner account switcher will indicate which environment you're in
agile tundra
what about users that were enrolled in our platform before the sandboxes were created? can they be granted access too?
to the sandboxes?
willow pollen
That's a great question. Let me double check
Whether the user has access to Sandbox depending on the role assigned. Here's the list of roles and their permissions: https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/account/teams/roles
I'd recommend checking with an existing user whether he/she can view a Sandbox with the role given to double check
agile tundra
We are a stripe platform, so users enroll into stripe through our platform
So we have customers who have enrolled into stripe in our test environment

Are you referring to the context of Connect? If so, then the connected accounts don't have access to the Sandbox environment
agile tundra
Will the stripe account of connected stripe users (created in the past) exist in the context of the new sandboxes?
willow pollen
They will not exist in the new Sandbox
Each Sandbox is an independent environment. Only settings will be copied over from live mode account, but not the connected accounts. See the guide here for more details about what will be copied: https://docs.stripe.com/sandboxes/dashboard/sandbox-settings
agile tundra
Is using dedicated sandbox for each test environment the best way to do testing across a couple pre-prod environments?
willow pollen
Yes, using Sandboxes is recommended. I'd recommend reading this blog post for Sandbox strategies: https://stripe.dev/blog/choosing-the-right-sandbox-strategy-for-your-organization
agile tundra
is it possible to test the webhook in production using sandboxes?
willow pollen
Could you share what you're trying to achieve? In general, the Webhook endpoint set in Sandbox will only receive events in the Sandbox, but not from live mode account

so, our apps will need to point to the proper sandbox environment, and the stripe account will only exist in that sandbox?
