[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Anyone sending patron email along with Stripe payments?

[Yamil Suarez]

Terran or others,

Thanks for the info and feedback. You are making me realize that I am
wondering about a couple separate things about Stripe use in Evergreen.

First one, is figuring if patrons can be emailed a receipt from either
Stripe or EG if they paid a bill. Not sure if the EG Stripe implementation
supports this. This just as a convenience to the patron, and apparently if
Stripe get the patron email it will send the patron a receipt email. Though
I know the EG patron record will keep track of past payments, and library
staff should be able to look that up (maybe patrons too?).

My second question is that I would like to see at at least one bit of
patron or transaction related info be sent to Stripe, just so if I need to
troubleshoot a payment I can tell transactions apart on Stripe.com. Right
now on the Stipe.com site I only see a transaction cost. Though maybe there
is a Stripe.com transaction number that is stored in EG so I can reference
each other? I checked on the EG staff client by looking at one of my test
Stripe payments, and did not seem to see one. Though it could be in the EG
database.

Does anyone have any comments on suggestions based on my questions?

Thanks in advance,
Yamil
