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/b12ef9b3f5341068c242823675eb7…
Have found the Stripe engineers are very helpful on IRC.
Hope the above is useful
Kind regards
Chris

Hi,
I am working on Stripe continuous credit card authority at the
moment, i.e. you give your card details to Stripe and they let
BitFolk charge what it wants, when it wants, so as to enable
automated card payments.
I will soon need some volunteers to help test it out more
thoroughly. There will also be UI aspects I need feedback on.
If you would be interested in helping out, please could you contact
me off-list? Ideally you would:
- be on a monthly contract
- not mind being charged a bit early - it will renew your service
early (once it works properly)
- not be using any other automated method like Direct Debit or
PayPal subscription, as those would have to be cancelled first.
In the event of any incorrect charge I will just refund it to your
card again.
There might be some form of free service bonus for helping out,
though we will not talk about that for some weeks as I'll want to
get it all working first.
After it's initially working in its most primitive form we will
discuss improvements to it on the tracker at:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/202
If you are interested in the progress of it, whether or not you are
able/willing to help, you may wish to add yourself as a watcher of
that issue to receive email updates. Stuff from there also ends up
here:

Cheers,
Andy
