I'm integrating Stripe into one of the apps. When I send invoices through Node.js SDK it's not sending invoice emails to customers when I use the test environment API key. But when I use a live environment API key with the exact same code, it sends the invoice email to the customer.
Also when I send invoices from the Stripe dashboard in test mode, it is sending emails to customers. The issue seems to be only with SDK/API in the test mode.
Is it possible to send emails to customers even in test mode using Node.js SDK/API?
Stripe doesn't send email in test mode.
From https://support.stripe.com/questions/not-receiving-email-sent-from-stripe:
Stripe only sends email receipts for payments that are made with your live API key or through your live Dashboard. If you are expecting an email for a test transaction, one will not be sent.

I'm currently setting up Stripe connect on my website and I want to test a webhook that needs the email data to be sent to it. But, in test mode, Stripe says "email is not needed in test mode" and blocks the input. Is there a solution or workaround for this so I can test sending email data?
Thanks,
In test mode it's not possible to set the email for an Express account during the onboarding flow. But when creating the account with the API, you could set the email parameter (this field is only used to make the account easier to identify for you).
Also note that Stripe don't send any emails in test mode.
I'm using the DocuSign Sandbox environment to test out sending agreements and request payment using the Stripe payment Gateway. I've added Stripe as a Payment Gateway and can add a new Payment tab to a template successfully.
I just wanted to make sure, before I send an actual envelope, how do I confirm that it will also be using the Stripe test/sandbox environment and not the live Stripe account to collect payment here? I wouldn't want to accidentally request money into my live Stripe account during testing.
You could use any stripe account and just use the 4242 fake credit card numbers to do your testing.

I am developing app where transfer money from platform to connect when completing some task.
And then my app customers can get money in their stripe account.
I think they need to get receipt for getting earning when using my app but I can't see how to send receipts to customer's email for transferring.
I know it can by specifying receipts_email when charing and refund but no such stuff in transfer object.
How can my app send receipt to customer for transferring ?
if it's impossible what is providing instead in stripe?
Really I need to get help.
Thank you.
The email receipt feature is only available for Charges which happen when you charge a Customer's card. This is documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/receipts
Stripe does not send email receipts when you transfer funds to a connected account or when funds are sent to their own bank accounts. This is something that you would need to build on your side instead based on the funds you're sending to them.
I want to send invoice in pdf format to the customer via email using stripe API.
I can fetch invoice and make custom html. But I want direct fetch pdf via stripe API. Is there any solution for that?
It does not appear this is something Stripe offers.

For most custom applications I tend to disable my payment gateway receipts and create my own. The disadvantage here is you have to have a authoritative transactional email service so things do not get sent to spam.
The advantage is you can customize the receipt to your liking and if you switch or add more payment gateways in the future, you do not have to recreate or handle multiple receipt emails.
I would send the receipt from your app
Use a good transactional email service like SparkPost. They have a free tier and a great SMTP connection option that plugs into Cake's email class
Make sure you have a DKIM signature setup and a valid SPF record. https://www.mail-tester.com/ is great for finding problems in emails
I'm creating customers in Stripe (using test mode) with recurring plans and email addresses. So far, everything works as I'd expect: when a customer is created and enrolled in a recurring plan, they are automatically charged for the first period of the plan. What I have is almost verbatim what is in the tutorial. The plan names differ, and the costs differ, but other than that, it's more or less copy/paste.
However, even with the customer enrolled with email set and the Stripe account set up to send customer receipts on charges, the receipt email from Stripe are not being sent. It's not clear to me why this would be, especially since I'm under the impression that Stripe should send email when any charge is made if "Email customers for Successful Payments" is checked, even when in test mode (per the support site).
Looking at the invoice dashboard, it looks like receipt emails are not being sent per the receipt history, leading me to believe that something I have done is incorrect.
Why is Stripe not sending email upon a successful charge? What have I missed?
Stripe doesn't send email receipts in Test mode at the moment and it's mentioned in the support article you linked:
As a note, we’ll only send email receipts for payments that are made with your live API key or through your live dashboard. If you’d like to see what a test email receipt looks like, you can click the “View Receipt” link on a live or test payment’s page. You can also send a test email from your email settings.
