Webhook differences on Test and on Production mode

[Máté]

Hi there, 

When I use the Subscription API on production (version  2015-10-16), after a successful subscription creation I receive on event for payment success invoice.payment_succeeded through the webhooks.

However, doing the same thing in Test mode, an extra charge.succeeded event is fired on top of the invoice.payment_succeeded event. 

Which one is the correct behavior?

Thanks and regards,

Máté

Hi Máté,

By chance, are you testing with free subscriptions in Production mode?

If a subscription is free, no charge will be created. As such you'll
just get an invoice.payment_succeeded webhook.
Whenever a subscription is non-free and a charge needs to be created,
you can expect both an invoice.payment_succeeded webhook and a
charge.succeeded webhook.

Otherwise, Test and Production mode should have identical behavior.

Best,
Jim

Hi Jim,

The subscription was not free, just had a coupon attached that rendered it free (€0).

Thanks for the quick reply!
