trying to test payments via Stripe, and every time I go to push a payment, the server returns an HTTP 500 response

is this normal for accounts in test mode?

djUSAGI: That is not normal

okay, any idea what would cause this? The error that's always returned is "Invalid Positive Integer"

When you say Stripe plugin are you talking about Stripe.js / Checkout or the python library

djUSAGI: that is the error, what number are you setting amount equal to?

checkout.js

Amount is set to the price of the registration in pennies (i.e. 40 USD would be 4000)

are you sure thats what its set to?

its an integer not a string right?

yeah, I manually set it -- wait, I may have it accidentally set to a string.

nope, still getting it

and if you just remove the amount line?

And its the checkout.js code thats throwing this error? its not happing in the Stripe.Charge() code?

amount line removed, still getting it

markin: So my only option is to wait until support replies?

Stu_: yea :/

djUSAGI: Well you're using checkout in your html, what are you doing server side?

Nothing as of yet. I set up my account, and grabbed my test keys

So you're seeing that error in your browsers javascript console?

POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/register/ 500 (INTERNAL SERVER ERROR) Button.onToken (anonymous function) checkout.js:2 Checkout.onToken (anonymous function) checkout.js:2

literally the only thing I'm seeing

markin: damn, ok thanks

oh wait, I think I see what's going on.

yea thats your server throwing an error not checkout

yeah, it was something in my stuff. Thanks for your help!

Can the application fee be a set percentage of the transaction price?

chrisdarkins: nope, but it isn't too hard to calculate manually

thanks. Just wanted to see if I could set the fee percentage in Stripe or the application

Hi all... quick question if you don't mind... what exactly is the Total Volume statistic in the Dashboard? (i.e. does that figure include amounts that may have since been refunded) ?

Laust: it should be all amounts charged

so if we made refunds, it wont change this figure?

I don't believe so

Markin: sorry for my ignorance but can you guide me recommended steps I need for my user subscription. My users are already registered and subscribe for services inside their account page. By steps i mean step 1: create customer using x details, returns token then subscribe for plan. Also guide me the recommended information i can send to api

deepak_: what language are you using?

PHP

or possibly provide me a good link. There are many references given. which kinda of confusing me that which one to opt for

deepak_: Well you'd create a customer in stripe. When you create a customer you can specify a card (token) and a plan https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#create_customer

deepak_: what parts do you have done already? (if markin is not over there whipping up an example for you I might be able to modify mine to show it.)

can i do this using stripe js. and where can a find the doc for this. Its kind of look more secure

(Stripe checkout looks more secure than Stripe.js in my opinion)

Hello. I need to transfer customers from one of my stripe accounts to another one. However, they are "subscription" customers. I was told by a stripe rep that I could transfer customers over no problem but I need to setup the subscription manually. Could sometine walk me through this proccess?

Hey guys. I was in here a few nights ago with this question but I haven't had much luck... I'm using stripe Connect to coordinate chargers between users. The user designates a price that they want to be paid in their bank account. I'm trying to compute the amount I need to charge to make that a reality given I take a 10% application fee + the Stripe Canada fees

I've tried the following, but the result is always a little bit off

application_fee = int((price * .1) * 100) /*new line*/ price_to_charge = int(((price * 100) + application_fee) * 1.029 + 30)

any ideas how I would get the right value so that my users get their desired price in their stripe account?

I see where I can 'export" customers... but I don't see where to import them?

lnchmx: I posted the equation for including the 2.9% + .30 recently, let me check the logs…

wsmoak: for the record, if you want to receive $75 after fees, charge them $77.55 :)

wsmoak: x - (.029 * x) - .30 = 75 and solve for x. Who said you would never use algebra in real life?

lnchmx: how much does an example user want to get in their bank account? and what are the stripe canada fees?

wsmoak: By stripe canada fees I mean fees for canadian users (which I think are more than US), which are 2.9% + 30 cents. My example is as follows: A user wants $300. Since I am taking 10% on that, I would want $30 as the application fee

wsmoak: So my thought was something like... (330 * 100 * 1.029) + 30 for the charge i send to stripe

wsmoak: The user ends up netting 299.71 in that case though, rather than a cool 300

John__: I don't believe you can. Stripe support should be able to, you can do it via api calls but you couldn't transfer their cards

not quite. just using the US 2.9% it’s: x - (.10 * x) - (.029 * x) - .30 = 300 . and solve for x. (want to see all the steps?)

okay thanks... so I can't do it on my own... but stripe can do it for me? Do you know what information I would need to provide them? customer Id's or emails or something like that?

lnchmx: charge 344.78 to get 300.00 in that case

hmm i see

i was quite a bit off

lnchmx: the good news is you get $34.48 for your 10%, not $30 :)

wsmoak: you're right... it seems like it's taking 10% off the base cost + stripe fee added on, rather than just the base cost

of course good for me but drives up the payer price :)

markin has a link that talks about charging customers for those credit card fees… not sure how that works in canada but there are Rules about it in the US

wsmoak: rules in what sense?

lnchmx: this, but it’s US so check your local rules http://usa.visa.com/personal/get-help/checkout-...

I remember the court case, but thought it was about charging credit card users more than cash customers. If they’re all using cards… then that’s just “the price”.

wsmoak: i'm surprised that was ever disallowed... think of something like ticketmaster. somebody's putting on a show, sells tickets through ticketmaster, ticketmaster adds a surcharge of dollars

"x" dollars sorry

ahh gotcha

thus ends our algebra lesson for this evening. I need to write that one up, that’s twice now. :)

wsmoak: hahah thanks a lot.

lnchmx: a surcharge for online purchases is different then a credit card processing fee

but basically you should make sure you're legally okay with charging an extra fee for a credit cards
