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

[Martha Driscoll]

Hi Yamil,

Evergreen stores the Stripe approval code in 
money.credit_card_payment.approval_code.  You will have multiple rows 
matching a given approval_code if the patron paid for several charges.  
Stripe only records the lump sum paid under the approval_code.
