Hey there, can you explain what you mean by all the api errors here? or share an example?

#

You likely will want to handle API errors as they happen on payments. You can review a limited history of previous errors in your dashboard logs (give me a sec to get you a link).

I mean, when a payment fails on a subscription invoice, I want to email them and let them know what exactly failed on the card, IE, zipcode, no funds, expired

(Dashboard logs filtered to errors here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs?success=false&method[]=post&method[]=delete&direction[]=self&direction[]=connect_in )

#

Ah, it sounds like you are referring more towards events not API request logs

yea

So for this you'll likely want to filter to invoice.payment_failed events

eg, you can inspect these in the dashboard:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events?type=invoice.payment_failed

#

Or you can list past events using the API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/list#list_events-types

Stripe API reference – List all events – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

For future events, though, you should make sure to set up a webhook endpoint and have it set to receive these events and do the necessary processing on each event as it happens

#

If you haven't explored this yet, then a good docs entry point is here: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

#

If you have an endpoint already, then make sure it's set to receive and handle these invoice events.
