Test Invoice & Receipt Emails

Catch invoice bugs before customers do. Verify amounts, line items, and payment links are correct in your transactional emails.

Invoice errors damage trust and cause refunds

  • Wrong amounts or calculations go unnoticed until complaints
  • Missing or broken payment links frustrate customers
  • Dynamic content like names and items may not render
  • Currency and locale formatting can break silently

Automated invoice validation

  • Assert on amounts, taxes, and totals programmatically
  • Verify payment and download links work correctly
  • Test with different order scenarios and edge cases
  • Validate currency formatting and localization

Example

Testing Order Confirmation Emailtypescript
import { test, expect } from 'vitest';

test('order confirmation email has correct details', async () => {
  const orderEmail = `order+${Date.now()}@in.plop.email`;
  const orderData = {
    items: [
      { name: 'Pro Plan', price: 29.00, quantity: 1 },
      { name: 'Extra Seats', price: 10.00, quantity: 3 },
    ],
    tax: 5.90,
    total: 64.90,
    currency: 'USD',
  };

  // Trigger order and email
  await api.createOrder({ email: orderEmail, ...orderData });

  // Fetch receipt email
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.plop.email/v1/messages/latest?to=${orderEmail}`,
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PLOP_API_KEY}` } }
  );
  const email = await response.json();

  // Verify subject
  expect(email.subject).toContain('Order Confirmation');

  // Verify line items
  expect(email.htmlContent).toContain('Pro Plan');
  expect(email.htmlContent).toContain('Extra Seats');

  // Verify amounts (accounting for currency formatting)
  expect(email.htmlContent).toMatch(/\$64\.90|64\.90\s*USD/);

  // Verify receipt/invoice link exists
  const receiptLink = email.htmlContent.match(/href="([^"]*receipt[^"]*)"/);
  expect(receiptLink).toBeTruthy();

  // Verify link works
  const linkResponse = await fetch(receiptLink[1]);
  expect(linkResponse.status).toBe(200);
});
