AffonsoAffonso processes Stripe webhooks only from live mode. Purchases made in Stripe test mode are intentionally ignored — they will never appear as referrals in Affonso.
How to test end-to-end
Run the test in live mode and use a 100% off coupon so no money is actually charged. This exercises the exact same flow as a real customer:
- The cookie is set in the browser.
- The cookie value is passed into the Checkout Session metadata.
- Stripe fires the live-mode webhook to Affonso.
- The referral and commission show up in the dashboard.
Why test mode isn't tracked
Test-mode events can be generated freely against Stripe's test API. If Affonso accepted them, anyone could fabricate referrals and inflate commission totals. Limiting to live mode protects program integrity.
