How to setup Virtual Cards in local development
This documentation is about development. To setup a production environment, see https://docs.opencollective.com/help/fiscal-hosts/virtual-cards
On staging, https://staging.opencollective.com/opensource/ is already configured to issue virtual cards. If what you're working on doesn't require any API changes, feeel free to use it directly.
The steps to configure Stripe issuing on your local setup are:
Ask Stripe to enable Issuing on your account https://dashboard.stripe.com/setup/issuing/activate (if you're managing multiple accounts, make sure to pick the right account on top)
Top Up the Issuing balance with a reasonable amount ($1000 ?, $10,000 ?)
Create a generic Card Holder and make sure it's the only one (if you have more, let us know)
Configure webhook and enable for all issuing_authorization.* and issuing_transaction.* (5 events) https://api.opencollective.com/webhook/stripe
Configure default authorization process and webhook (deny or allow) (Optional) https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/issuing/authorizations
Create new dedicated Restricted Secret Key, select write for all Issuing features (Name: Restricted Issuing)
Contact Open Collective Engineering team to configure Restricted Secret Key production (update-connected-account-stripe-token)
Contact Open Collective Engineering team to configure Webhook Signing secret to connected account (stripeEndpointSecret)
Ask Open Collective Engineering team to enable feature in Collective settings (privacyVcc)
