I'm configuring Stripe and have the whole checkout process working, except for the fact that despite configuring the 'receipt_email' variable, Stripe does not send me an email with the receipt after a (test) purchase has been made.

const response = await stripe.confirmPayment({
    elements,
    confirmParams: {
        return_url: `${process.env.REACT_APP_BASE_URL}/projects/${project.id}`,
        payment_method_data: {
            billing_details: {
                name: name,
                email: email
            },
        },
        receipt_email: email
    },
    redirect: "if_required"
})

The email address does appear on the Stripe dashboard against the receipt_email, but an email with the receipt is not sent.

I've also enabled stripe emails as per below:

Am I configuring this wrong? Is there something else I need to do? Is it just because I'm on test mode? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit

I found a page on stripe support which talks about the reasons why a person may not be receiving emails. One of the reasons says:

Ensure the email you’re expecting is for a live transaction. 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.

This would answer the 'why' of this question, but I find it hard to believe that Stripe wouldn't offer a way to test the email functionality until live prod deployment when real money gets involved. Is there really no way to test the automation?
