Have you enabled receipts for successful payment in your dashboard settings here? https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails

I enabled it, do I need to add something else during the subscription creation?
I saw some information related to receipt_email but I'm not completely sure
zinc merlin
You shouldn't need to do that as long as your Customer object has an email
oak rock
ok, there's a way to test this email without wait at the end of the month to receive the receipt?
zinc merlin
You could do an update for the subscription and set proration_behavior: always_invoice to immediately trigger an invoice for the subscription and have it charged. Something to note though - we don't send these receipt emails in test mode. We only send them in live mode
oak rock
also, how can I use another email instead the customer email?
I mean my customer has X email but I want to send the reciept to another email like billing@whatever.com
is there a way to do that?
zinc merlin
The only way to configure a different email would be to set it in the dashboard- there's no way to set it through the api
oak rock
do you mean the receipt email or the customer email?
I found these links for reference:

With subscriptions, receipts will be default be sent to the email that is set on the customer - there isn't an easy way to specify receipt_email for invoices and subscriptions. If you want these billing receipts to go to an email that is NOT The same as the one specificed on the customer, the dashboard offers the ability to specify a different email for billing and add additional CC recipients
oak rock
and what if I add a billing_email to my customer, it could work as well?
I saw a checkbox where I can select if my email is the same as my billing email
can I update my customer billing email in order to receive those emails on that address?

Hey there, stepping in here for Karbi 👋
What do you mean by billing_email? Customers have email addressed: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-email
unborn reef
That is a dashboard only concept, not available in the API
oak rock
makes sense, I saw a receipt_email field in the payment intents
there's a way to specifiy that email when I create a subscription via API?
unborn reef
No, as karbi mentioned that parameter is not available for the payment intents created by subscription invoices automatically.
oak rock
when the creation of a credit card, when we are collecting infomation in the ui. Isn't that a payment intent?
dumb question
unborn reef
What do you mean exactly? What part of your integration are you refering to?
oak rock
what is a payment intent specifically?
unborn reef
Payment Intents is out current API for collecting payments: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents
