eh

Guest93949,

How do I do that without card details ever touching my server?

create a token and use that token to create a customer.

Where in the docs is that?

the card section is where you can put the token at

Thank you

Does anyone have any clue how to get in touch with these guys??

email?

thats the only way or irc

they normally reply to me in about 12 hours or less

or have any clue as to what i need todo to transfer money to my bank account? im getting a error say contact support but ive gotten no reply in 4days

Looking for some advice. My software product allows businesses to take service bookings online. We are looking to integrate a payment solution into our booking portal so that our client can take payments when people book their services. Does stripe allow funds to be send to multiple accounts?

irctc030: in two different ways

ie instead of all the money being send to my companies account can it go directly to my customer?

irctc030: you can use Stripe Connect, where both you and your client have Stripe accounts. you charge cards using a special key that you get through the Connect process, and you set an application_fee parameter

the fee gets deposited into your account, the rest goes to their account

irctc030: you can also set up Recipients and Transfers. a Recipient represents a US bank account that you can target for ACH transfers

does anyone know if is there any way to test an account's charge_enabled property being set to true via the account.updated webhook event?

and a Transfer is the actual transfer that you initiate with the API

zrail: thanks. We're based in the UK. Is the second method available here? Does the first method require the user to signup via stripe or can it be done via my software through the stripe API?

irctc030: transfers are US only for now. you could ask support@stripe.com if they have a UK beta going on, i don't know. the other method will require them to sign up for a stripe account but it will be transparent and done through the OAuth flow

they click the "Connect with Stripe" button and sign up then and there

on a co-branded page

I see ok. Would you be able to point me to documentation for the Stripe connect?

irctc030: https://stripe.com/connect that's the landing page

docs are a few clicks awway

*away

zrail: That's great thanks!

no problem :)

Does anybody have a good system for generating unique receipt/order/invoice numbers? Sequential IDS aren't really doing it for me, I don't want my customers to know that my business has a grand total of 6 sales. I tried guids... but "Order #62747371-01a9-4538-b613- 55ca2d7bcdaf" dosn't look too pretty. I've also tried adding trivial large values to the sequential IDs, like 11132, but the other problem I have with sequential IDs is t

t

to guess other peoples receipt/invoice numbers

foooooo: I generate a big random number and then base36 encode it

SecureRandom.random_number(1_000_000_000).to_s(32)

sorry, base32

You could use seqential with large number added and check permissions when accessing invoices

yeah, or that

either way you should be checking permissions if you can

Is base32 encoding url-safe?

yeah

it's a-z + 2-7

Thanks zrail, that seems like a much better solution

np

I didn't even know you could use underscores with integers like that, neat

Hello, I had a quick question regarding the API.

.

Hello, I had a quick question regarding the API.

Are any of the engineers available?

I guess the answer is no.

Good to know that his room isn't really checked.

pxs15019: it helps to actually ask your question

OK.

We have been using the stripe API for a while.

Today, we started seeing errors with calls that ussually work on doing routine tasks like retrieving cards.

we are using python to access stripe API, and we are making two simple calls:

p_customer = stirpe.Customer.retrieve(customer_id)

sure

p_card = p_customer.cards.retrieve(card_id)

The second call is throwing up an error saying that we can't call retrieve on a ListObject.

"ListObject' object has no attribute 'retrieve'"

what sort of errors are you seeing? are they visible in manage.stripe.com/logs ?

hm

have you changed either your library version or your API version lately?

No.

you might try bumping your library version to the latest, without changing your API version

We're still at 1.7.9

that's pretty old. i would try bumping it to 1.14.0

not that things *should* break, but i've seen it a few times where someone's ruby integration breaks and bumping the API version fixes it

sorry. bumping the *library* version

Taht seemed to do the trick.

Thank you for the help.

you're welcome!

Are there any big ticket incompatibilities between 1.14 and 1.7.9?

not that i know of. the biggest change i *believe* is multiple subscriptions, and possibly how pagination is handled

Thank you again @zrail.

Much obliged.

but things should generally be backwards compatible

no problem :)

zrail, do you know if is there any way to test an account's charge_enabled property being set to true via the account.updated webhook event?

tenpin: i don't. you should be able to get the account id from account.updated and then retrieve the account and check

I have no problem checking it, and the event webhook works, I just want to test the webhook when charge_enabled is set to true

sounds like an edge case that can't be tested unless there some way to activate a test account created with stripe connect

hi, is there a way to charge a list of customer objects?

Quick question.

hey, im working with example xcode project that stripe provided for iOS development/sending card details to get a token… and it doesn't seem to function… which is less than helpful for an example… does anyone know of a better example to learn from?
