Successful Payment Notification Error

Hi,

I am testing the Stripe recurring payment function on my development site. The subscription process is working fine but the information provided in the transaction details does not seem to be correct.

In the example below, I am using a $1.00 a day subscription plan. The notification and transaction details for the initial subscription and payment is below:

____________________________
Your payment was successfully received. Your transaction details are below

##### THIS IS A SUBSCRIPTION SIGNUP AND IF A FREE TRIAL WAS OFFERD NO PAYMENT WILL BE RECIVED #####

Payment Details for Invoice ID #11

Listing Title: Upgrade Listing: Hotel Four Seasons

Trans ID: evt_17VQNKHk0BNCNHjtkUWk0IkO
Status: customer.subscription.created
Amount: $1.00
Type: single payment

I received another notification immediately after this one which does not make sense to me since I should not receive 2 notifications for 1 payment. Further, it also seems to have errors (see below):

___________________________

There is no information for Invoice ID #, Listing Title and Amount is $0.00.

The notification for the next day has the information below. The same problem with no information for Invoice ID #, Listing Title and Amount is $0.00.

Each subsequent notification has the same problem (no information for Invoice ID #, Listing Title and Amount is $0.00). The status also indicates the charge succeeded but does not indicate successful payment.

I believe I have identified the problem (blame it on my 25+ years experience in systems analysis and project management and my 12+ years in IT management).

In reviewing the Stripe events and webhooks, I think the wrong events are being used (“customer.subscription.created” and “charge.succeeded”). The email notification refers to a successful payment. There is an event that refers to the successful payment of an invoice (“invoice.payment_succeeded”) which contains all the information (Invoice ID #, Listing Title and Amount). I believe the “invoice.payment_succeeded” event is the one that should be used instead of the “customer.subscription.created” or “charge.succeeded” events which only indicate that the subscription was created and the customer was charged but they do not indicate that a payment was successfully made.

I am attaching PDF copies of “customer.subscription.created”, “charge.succeeded” and “invoice.payment_succeeded” events for my test example. I hope it will be clear that the “invoice.payment_succeeded” event is the right one to use to ensure that the information in the email notification is correct. I do hope that this problem can be fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks.
