Envía facturas con Stripe

Cómo funciona esta extensión

Use this extension to create and send brandable customer invoices using the payments platform Stripe .

The invoices are automatically customized with the logo and color theme of your business that you've set up in Stripe. After the invoice is sent, you can use the Stripe dashboard to track whether the customer has paid and how much money you processed with detailed reporting and charts.

This extension listens to your specified Cloud Firestore collection for new documents (like the example below). When you add a document, Stripe uses the invoice information in the document to create an invoice in their system then sends the invoice to the email address specified in the document. You can optionally manage your customer email addresses using Firebase Authentication user IDs.

email: "customer@example.com",
items: [{
    amount: 2000,
    currency: "usd",
    quantity: 2, // Optional, defaults to 1.
    description: "Growth plan"
}]

Here's an example of what your customized invoice will look like!

An optional feature of this extension is to automatically update the invoice's status in its Cloud Firestore document. You can configure this feature after installing the extension by registering a Stripe webhook that listens for Stripe invoice events . If you want to use this optional feature, leave the parameter Stripe webhook secret empty during installation, then reconfigure your installed extension later with the actual value for your registered webhook. More details about this process are provided after installation.

Additional setup

Before installing this extension, set up the following Firebase services in your Firebase project:

• Cloud Firestore to store invoice information and optionally invoice status.
  • Follow the steps in the documentation to create a Cloud Firestore database.
• Firebase Authentication to optionally manage email and customer data.
  • Enable the sign-in methods in the Firebase console that you want to offer your users.

You must also have a Stripe account and a Stripe API key before installing this extension.

Note: Stripe has a test mode that lets you make API calls without making actual payments. To use this extension with Stripe's test mode, set the extension's Stripe API key parameter (during extension configuration) to use a test mode key. A test mode key looks like rk_test_12345 , whereas a live mode key would be rk_live_12345 . As this extension only requires write access to your Stripe customers and invoices resources, we recommend that you create a restricted key with limited access to only these resources rather than using your secret key.
