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);
