Stripe Payments - Add test mode
Jeroen (CTO 👨💻)
To test things and build automations we really need Heartbeat to offer us a test mode. Presumably by adding the option to add the Stripe test api key within Heartbeat and giving us the option Heartbeat to either run payment links over a test payment api key or live api key.
One of the issues right now is that it’s quite hard to build Pabbly automations, since Pabbly needs to catch a webhook first to build our automation on and we can’t trigger those without Stripe first firing it.
We either now have to first await paying members, and thus have to build the automations on a moving train. Or make real Stripe payments ourselves, which convolutes both Stripe and Heartbeat with unwanted data.

this would be a really good addition, the integration now is far from ideal, subscriptions created in Stripe, eventhough using products created in HB, does not reflect in HB itself. Things with subscriptions are especially troublesome to test as there can be so many variables when it comes to payments , so having a test mode between HB and Stripe would be really helpful.

Stripe does offer a testmode - it would be enough for Heartbeat to offer that, too. Because when entering a test-card, HB closes the connection and refuses to go through the process

Misty Dorman - Heartbeat Team proposed a workaround with 1usd payments and refunding ourselves, but this is far from ideal.
