Stripe Developer Digest (August 2024): Workbench is now available to everyone
Summary
Stripe’s August 2024 developer update announces that Workbench is available to everyone across every Dashboard surface, addressing developers’ request for in-context guidance and debugging tools during API integration work. Workbench is a developer home in the Dashboard that provides an at-a-glance view of integration behavior, lets users inspect API and event history, prototype integrations, and receive critical account alerts. As developers build, it highlights errors, helps resolve them, and recommends ways to improve integration efficiency; it can be opened with a single keystroke. The update also places Sandboxes and Event Destinations in public beta, expands Tap to Pay on iPhone with Stripe to seven countries, and notes community resources for Stripe Tax, the Stripe CLI, Payment Links, and related integrations.
Context
Developers interviewed by Stripe wanted guidance and debugging tools in situ while building API integrations, without switching between multiple tabs, so they could preserve flow state.
Approach / What changed
Stripe introduced Workbench as a developer home within the Dashboard. It summarizes integration behavior, exposes API and event history, supports prototyping, surfaces account alerts and errors, helps resolve problems, and recommends ways to improve integration efficiency. The update also announced public betas for Sandboxes and Event Destinations.
Takeaways
Workbench is available to everyone on every Dashboard surface and can be opened with a single keystroke.
Sandboxes provides multiple isolated testing environments for experimenting and collaborating without affecting a live integration.
Event Destinations can send Stripe events to webhook endpoints and Amazon EventBridge, and Tap to Pay on iPhone is available with Stripe in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
