Hi 👋 I don't think @jade hollow is in this channel

[bold oasis]

why's that? he's an admin

anyways

does someone have a solution for this?

[orchid wing]

I dont know what you are talking about. I was not in any hangout

[bold oasis]

so basically, I ran the same code as here https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration/quickstart

to test some invoices

I am trying to build a program that sends an invoice, waits for it to be paid, and triggers some action once paid

i created an account for testing, but when sending an invoice I did not receive any email

Paul told me that, stripe is designed not to send emails and not returning any hosted links

so I was wondering: how can i properly test my code if I can't actually see what I am building?

[orchid wing]

Well for starters I wouldn't use the email as the trigger to take action once the invoice is paid. I would recommend setting up a webhook listener and listening for the invoice.paid webhook event

https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-invoice.paid

[bold oasis]

I am not to that part yet.

I just ran the sample code

and see if I was getting any invoice

first, i create an invoice, then I mess with it

that's literally how you build apps: piece by piece

[orchid wing]

Sure, I'm. just saying this would be a good next piece

[bold oasis]

and who said I want to use the email as a trigger? (is it even possible?)

[bold oasis]

yeh I was aware of that

but how can I ensure my code works so far?

do i need to assume?

[orchid wing]

What is it you are trying to verify?

[bold oasis]

if I can send invoices correctly
