Re:Stripe raises $600M at nearly $36B valuation by adambyrtek on Thursday April 16, 2020 @05:58PM (#22893986)
You can do that using Stripe test environment and test cards without any fees. Refunds can take over a week to get processed by some banks, so testing on live data doesn't sound like a great idea. But even if you have to do a couple of live transactions I don't see how the cost of refunds could be significant.

Yes live tests are useful for integration issues or as a final verification before going live. But I only do it once or twice with a 99% off coupon or similar so the cost is a matter of cents plus fees. Easy to ignore.
