no problem! thanks for getting back at me

#

Just to make the thread complete Here the questions we have:

Thing is: the test environment of stripe does not send emails, so it's pretty impossible to test this[3:28 PM]Our questions come down to

How can we provide those seperate keys in the description parameter?
How can we see what the receipt will look like since we cannot send emails in the test environment
If it's only a string, how can we mark a part of that string as 'description of service'

#

So what information would you like to be in the description here if possible? I am not picturing this well. Basically you have so much that displaying it as a single string probably wouldn't look great?

#

We would like to add some tekst telling the user that they should download ios/android app to receive their assets in this application

#

Right now we put '3x drink voucher' in this description, and it shows right before the amount of the payment. This is fine, but it lacks the info to guide the user to the application

#

Gotcha. I think you might have to update the description to at least mention downloading the app. I think the email receipt will have your business website that might be a good lead, otherwise adding some URL to the description would probably be helpful.

#

Have you tried doing something like that and ran in to a length limitation or something?

#

No, did not try yet as the testing is kind of hard. The stripe dev env does not send emails

#

Yeah, unfortunately we just don't have a way to test a lot of our emails in test mode. I know you can preview the receipt somewhere but it obviously wouldn't have the custom description from a PI. That might at least be helpful for visualization though. Checking in to it

rare badger Apr 21, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

ah. well, if that has the info, we can probably use that to test

marsh plinth Apr 21, 2022, 2:18 PM

Oh, if you go to the dashboard you can preview the receipt https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payments/pi_3KqnVdJmquaq3Lbp1tVlc7or

That is one of my payment intents, why did I link it?

#

But if you go there you can see what it will look like. I tried sending the receipt and put in my account email but did not get it so unfortunately I do not think that that functionality works in test mode

#

Ok, Ill test that. Thanks a lot for the time and info!

marsh plinth Apr 21, 2022, 2:24 PM

#

Of course! Thank you for your patience, let us know any followups

rare badger Apr 21, 2022, 2:24 PM

I will. Have a good day!
