----------------------
To test Stripe payments in development mode with OpenSaaS, you need to set up the correct environment variables and follow the Stripe testing guidelines. Here's what you need to do:

Environment Variables Setup

For development, you should use and files in the root of your project:

In `.env.server`, you need to set up your Stripe test keys:
- - Your Stripe test secret key
- - Your Stripe webhook secret for testing
- - The price ID for your test subscription product
In `.env.client`, you can set any client-side variables with the `REACT_APP_` prefix if needed.

Remember that in development, you can define environment variables using

.env

.env

files, which is the recommended method as mentioned in the Wasp documentation.

Stripe Testing Setup

To properly test Stripe payments in development:

Make sure you have the Stripe CLI installed and running to forward webhook events to your local server. This is crucial for testing the complete payment flow. Follow the instructions in the OpenSaaS Stripe testing guide.
Run the Stripe CLI with a command like:```stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3001/stripe-webhook```
Test specific webhook events using the Stripe CLI. For example, to test the `invoice.paid` event:```stripe trigger invoice.paid```

## Common Issues to Check

If you're getting a 401 error when trying to make a payment, check if your authentication is working correctly. There might be an email check that's causing issues if you're using username/password authentication in development 🙋questionsStripe testing issues(401) (SOLVED).
Make sure your webhook is properly listening for the right events. If subscription status isn't updating, it might be because your webhook isn't catching the right events.
Check if you have Stripe Tax enabled. Some users have reported issues with tax settings. If you see an error about Stripe Tax not being activated, you might need to either:
- Enable it in your Stripe dashboard at https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/setup
- Or set the tax flag to false in your code 🙋questionshi getting a [ Server ] POST /operations/stripe-payment 500 44.007 ms .

Remember that OpenSaaS is a SaaS boilerplate template built with Wasp, so you're using Wasp under the hood but with the OpenSaaS template configuration.

Let me know if you encounter any specific errors during your testing!

Hey @Sven just go into test mode on your stripe dashboard and get the keys from there to see which ones are your test keys
