Hi,
Happy to volunteer testing Stripe
Additionally some learnings from implementing Stripe subscriptions & ad-hock charging using Stripe "connect" which has been running for a while now:
- yes the postcode can be anything, but may result in "do_not_honor" payment failures in live mode
- generally getting used to the payment_intent.sucess webhook event , for example the data.invoice property is not always present (it is for subscriptions but not ad-hoc charges) tripped me up recently
- getting familiar with the automated payment retry behaviour, which is very useful but can be confusing for a customer since the retries "use machine learning to choose best retry day". At attempt to add visibility of payment retry is here:
https://github.com/Subscribie/subscribie/issues/683#issuecomment-1003793965
- Stripes webhook retry exponential back-off (up to 3 days) very useful should should your webhook endpoint go down briefly
https://github.com/Subscribie/subscribie/blob/b12ef9b3f5341068c242823675eb7fa8b97a4569/subscribie/blueprints/checkout/__init__.py#L479
Have found the Stripe engineers are very helpful on IRC.
Hope the above is useful
Kind regards
Chris
