By the way, stripe has a cool new project, "stripe-mock": https://github.com/stripe/stripe-mock

It lets you run a local stripe API on your machine. I've got high hopes in it. This could be the cure to building resilient stripe tests on local machines.

The maintainer @brandur seems to know his stuff in regards to rest apis.

Oh god, thanks so much for this. I've literally just been testing on prod and praying that it works.

You know you can generate a API test token and use one of test card numbers for all your testing purposes. There is a toggle in your main dashboard which will let you switch between sandbox/test mode and production for viewing charges etc.

This assumes you have internet connection always when developing/running tests, which is not always the case.

I always to rely on local tools/endpoints so when I'm offline, I can still continue working. Don't use Stripe as much as before but I definitely I wished I had this mock when implementing Stripe in applications I worked on.
