Overview

Use the information in this article to connect to Stripe in the Test mode. The Stripe integration to Accounting Seed supports multi-currency credit card transaction processing. ACH transaction processing is limited to USD. 

We currently do not support Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), which is a regulatory requirement in Europe. To view the affected countries listing, click the European Economic Area (EEA) link on this Stripe page.

Important:

• Testing with Stripe will post transactions to the General Ledger. Therefore, this test should be performed in a sandbox or other non-production environment like a developer org. 
• On a Sandbox (test.salesforce.com):
  • You cannot test payment link.
  • You can test the Create Payment and Receive Payment screen workflows by adding a test Stripe payment method.
• On a Developer org (login.salesforce.com):
  • You can test both payment link and the Create Payment and Receive Payment screen workflows by adding a test Stripe payment method.

Connect to Stripe in the Test Mode

1. Go to stripe.com. Then, create a Stripe Test Account and set it to Test mode.
2. Open another browser tab, and log into your sandbox or other non-production environment. Then, install the Summer '23 release or higher. 
3. Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Setup tab. Then, under the Utilities menu, click Payment Processors.
4. Follow the steps in the Payment Processors article to create a new Payment Processor. 
   Note: Click the Test Mode checkbox to using this Payment Processor for testing Stripe. 
5. After saving the new Payment Processor, click Connect Payment Provider. The Connect Payment Provider Confirmation dialog box displays. 
   
   
   
   
6. Click Connect. 
7. Log into the Test Stripe Dashboard using the credentials that you created in step 1 above. This will establish a connection between the new Payment Processor and Stripe, which results in setting the Payment Processor to Active. 
8. Create a test Account. Then, add test payment methods for the Account using the information provided in test card/ach info from Stripe.
   
   You can now receive/create Stripe test payments in Accounting Seed from your sandbox or other non-productive environment. Once a Billing has been paid, for example from the Receive Payment screen, the transaction will be visible in the Test Stripe Dashboard. 
   
   Note: A warning message displays on payment screens to indicate that you are in Test mode and that actual transactions will be posted. After testing, void or delete the test Billings and Cash Receipts if doing this in your production org.
   
   
   

Test Stripe Payment Link

Important: Testing Payment Link in a sandbox is not currently supported. To test Payment Link, use a Payment Processor in Test Mode with your Stripe test credentials and Stripe's test cards in your developer or production org.

Warning: Test transactions post to the General Ledger. After testing, void or delete the test Billings and Cash Receipts if doing this in your production org.

1. In your org, create a Payment Processor with the Test Mode checkbox selected. Connect it to your Stripe test account, following the steps in the Connect to Stripe in the Test Mode section above.
2. Configure Payment Link. See Connect to Stripe, Step 4: Configure Payment Link.
3. Create a test Billing that uses the Test Mode Payment Processor.
4. Add the Payment Link Email API name to the Billing PDF and email it, or click the Payment Link on the Billing. See Connect to Stripe, Step 5: Set up your Email Template for Payment Link.
5. Pay the amount using Stripe’s test credit card information.
