hello

For "Subscribing a customer to a plan" in php

like https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions

how to ? because https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#create_subscrip... required a CUSTOMER_ID

( sorry for my bad english )

how do you mean?

Hello , anyone around that can help me with a question

you create a customer and then add a subscription to it

waseem: just ask

"card" => "tok_103mGB2169F45ccsXvxLDAaZ" // obtained with Stripe.js

ok Woet, I am developing a Marketplace type product. I have all the basics working from previously having done the checkout code. Anyway, I need to split Payment A between Seller B and Seller C. I am using stripeJS , as don't want card details touching the server side. Do I need to take money into one account and then split between B and C ?

if i don't no use stripe.js ?

Dededede4: what do you use?

in a website

x)

i don't like use stripe.js

Dededede4: okay, what do you use?

i I want my server retrieves the blue card numbers and asks stripe to create the subscription.

Dededede4: what do you use to obtain the token

waseem: you can use stripe connect or stripe transfer

Woet: is my question :D

Dededede4: use https://stripe.com/docs/stripe.js or https://stripe.com/docs/checkout

I did not need token if I use curl, but i need it if use php ?

OK Woet, all accounts are signed up with Stripe Connect. So I use Stripe js to create the token, token is sent back to the server. I use server to create a charge for Seller B , (charge goes through ok), i then use the same card to create a charge for Seller C (using a different API key linked to Seller C's account). I get back the error saying the token (ie card) was created against a different account.

Dededede4: how do you get the creditcard information otherwise?

waseem: errm, you want 2 separate charges?

Woet: in a form in my website :D

I think I might have been approaching it incorrectly Woet, but yes that what I was doing. But it seems I need to take the payment into Account A and send a transfer to B and C (for their respective amoounts)

Dededede4: you mean you POST the cc info to your server?

waseem: you are neither B or C, right?

Not yet, but this is the idea Woet :D

Is there any way to use Stripe Checkout and sell multiple products? I have a small site with 10 products. A purchase may incude three products.

Dededede4: are you PCI compliant?

Bryan_: stripe checkout is just to gather CC info

Bryan_: how many products/how many charges is up to your backend

yes Woet , I will be A (the person paying off his invoice) A is just paying off the invoice , code has to do the split

so I create a button for each product. Then how do people checkout?

Bryan_: stripe checkout turns their CC info into a token

Woet: Maybe not. But in any case I see that the functionality is available in CLI and not php

Bryan_: the token goes to your backend, your backend uses that token to charge their creditcard for whatever amount

Dededede4: they are available everywhere

Dededede4: you are not PCI compliant, so you're not allowed to receive or touch their creditcard info

Dededede4: use stripe checkout or stripe JS to turn the info into a token and then post the token to your backend

So do we need a cart setup as well? I see Checkout has a Pay $18 button for example.

Bryan_: yes, you can pass an amount to stripe checkout which will be shown to the user

Bryan_: it will not charge the user, that's your backend's job.

Woet: ok :-(

so the Pay button does not do anything?

Bryan_: it turns the CC info into a token.

OK. I have a CMS that does not have a cart option. I want to make a simple checkout process that will allow people to add an item to a cart and checkout. What is best way to do this with Stripe?

Bryan_: once you have the token you need to submit the form using Javascript and process the payment on your server

Bryan_: you find a stripe plugin for your CMS

Bryan_: what CMS do you use?

I am using Craft CMS. I do not see a Stipe plugin

Just one for Single Payments

well you will have to write the basket part then

stripe doesn't handle that

Bryan_: does that CMS have a basket plugin

I found this one but it is for single products http://squarebit.co.uk/plugins/charge

no basket or cart plugin I can see yet

maybe https://snipcart.com/blog/integrating-snipcart-... works with it

I did see Snipcart

Looks nice. a Bit pricy though

Any experience with Snipcart? Is it better than Foxy? Not familar with it

Bryan_: well you have to pay I have no idea about either sorry

Woet: sorry I know you busy mate but was I right in this assumption ? yes Woet , I will be A (the person paying off his invoice) A is just paying off the invoice , code has to do the split

hm

it's a weird usage of stripe

stripe is meant for you to get paid, not for you to pay others

but i guess you could pay yourself and then stripe transfer it to any US bank account

Hi! Is there any way to apply a coupon to a charge? If no, what is the exact process needed to apply coupons to payments (i don't want recurring payments, just need one payment at a time)

someone11: just change the amount?

Woet: this is what I am trying to achieve : https://go.developer.ebay.com/sites/default/fil...

same concept

waseem: you can do that using stripe transfer, as long as all recipients have an US bank account

hmmm ok

I am in the UK so guess we have an issue

well as I said, i dont think stripe is meant for your use case

if you are the sender of the funds that is

Well i am writing the code to split the payment on behalf of the sender , I am not actually the sender , per say!

Woet: Ok, so is it possible to decrease coupon redemptions from the API? The client wants to use the built-in Stripe coupon's

Woet: In other words, how does Stripe know how many times a coupon was used?

someone11: you can't use stripe discounts for anything but subscriptions

i mean, you could do an ugly hack like a 1 month subscription

but i would recommend using your own coupons

Woet: ok, this words are what i was looking for. Thank you

Woet: thanks for the help I found what I needed , this is what i need to do https://stripe.com/docs/connect/shared-customers and stop being lazy trying to hack in the code i had written for something else before .

but that won't support more than 2 recipients

it also won't let you in control

because one of your recipients will be the master account

I am living in UK and my transactions are in USD is there any way I can avoid transaction fees? I am have US dollar account so its really not making sense to pay conversion fees

so no, i dont think stripe connect will work for you waseem

OK Woet

Moazam: pretty sure UK accounts are restricted to GBP

why don't you charge your customers in GBP?

I have no control on this

Any workaround Woet? My all products pricing is in USD

Moazam: there is no workaround

you could contact support and ask whether they can add your USD bank account

but i dont think it'll work

It's sad, I spent so much time on stripe integration and endup on this issue

I will do, Thank you Woet for your help

no problem

@Woet Is there any Stripe support person on IRC for quicker chat?

im not sure, stripe employees have @

but they are mostly engineers and not support

Great, Thanks
