I see. that makes sense. also, what are the hours for this chat service?

There aren't any official hours. I tend to be around whenever I'm awake

ok, thanks man!

i apprciate your help

Hello

I would like to set up a system whereby a user could make a single purchase and the proceeds would be divided among multiple vendors. Is Stripe Connect the way to go for this?

Laertiades: You'd need to use the Transfers API for that. Connect is one charge per vendor

hey i am trying to end a subscription trial immidiately after updating a card... please advise

barandclubstats: set trial_end to now

i did but its not working

barandclubstats_: what do you mean its not working?

t

the card update is working but its not letting me update the subscription

are you getting an error message?

no thats the weird part

i am using the stripe php wrapper

Do you see the request in the logs section of the Stripe dashboard?

i am getting your card was declined

message: "Your card was declined." type: "card_error" code: "card_declined"

but my card definately works so I am confused

? markin

Hi

barandclubstats_: are you in test mode or live mode?

eddieh: Hi

is it 2.9% regardless of the card type?

brightoak: yup

and if we are in the US and and the client is in Canada... do you know much extra that will be?

lets say for a $1000 trnasaction

is there a link or something i can look at?

If you charge them in USD nothing, if you charge them in CAD there is a 2% conversion fee as listed at stripe.com/pricing

live mode

barandclubstats_: then you should contact your bank

There are a ton of reasons why a bank may decline a charge

How would you recommend I record my Stripe fees on my own accounts? Does stripe produce invoices/receipts for their own fees that I can add to my own expenses / purchase invoices?

In terms of my own bookkeeeping for my business

if you do an export from the dashboard it will list the fee

or you can get the fee from the API

markin: do you know why my card could be declined?

It could just be your bank thought the charge was suspicious. In general doing testing stuff with live card numbers is gonna cause weirdness because multiple charge attempts looks funky to a bank

all 3 of mine were declinde

i first add the card. Then i made it default. then i try to end the trial and it is saying card declined

So you're able to add the card successfully?

yes

So if you were to view the customer in the dashboard your card appears?

markin: yes its there

but when i go to end the trial its saying card denied

how much is the subscription?

6 x 19.99 a month

and how are you ending the trial?

through the api by updating it with trial_end now? I would call up your bank. The fact that the card got added means it was verified but they might think a $1 authorization followed by a $120 charge is odd

I am going to try by adding the card by updating the subscription

which is correct?

$subscription = $cu->subscriptions->retrieve($sub_id); $subscriptions->array("card" => array("number"=>$number,"exp_month"=>$expmm,"exp_year"=>$expyy,"cvc"=>$cvc)); $subscription->trial_end='now'; $subscription->save();

whoa, the card number should never, ever be touched in php code

DISREGARD PREVIOUS

$subscription->array("card" => array("number"=>$number,"exp_month"=>$expmm,"exp_year"=>$expyy,"cvc"=>$cvc));$subscription->trial_end='now';$subscription->save();

or

So you're still massively violating PCI

and subscription->array("card" => array("number"=>$number,"exp_month"=>$expmm,"exp_year"=>$expyy,"cvc"=>$cvc)); looks really wrong

markin

should i use stripe token instead?

its not should, you must

I dont see what the big deal is

Its the rules of PCI, which govern all merchants that handle credit card info. You cannot have card numbers touch your server-side code without a fairly large compliance burden

Its just for testing

is that why its not working in prod

if its for testing you shouldn't use your real credit card number and live api key

you definitely shouldn't be using that code in production

Is there a way to void a transaction instead of refund?

AlexMorse: node

*nope

Blast, thanks for the quick answer though!

AlexMorse: you're welcome, Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you wanted

Hello

I have a quick question

i want to use my own "buy now" button for my upsell pages. so the user will have already bought my initial product

and thus entered their credit card info

so i want to be able to use the "1 click" buy now but how can I use my own button?

stripe298: you would have your own button, when they click that, you'd trigger some server-side code to create a new charge for that customer

exactly yeah. how would i do that? my code so far is this...

<form action="" method="POST"> <script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.j...; class="stripe-button" data-key="pk_test_COB5SH6Wuk79FFJmNvluFdkB" data-amount="29700" data-name="The MC3 Project" data-description="Dating Service ($297.00)" data-image=""> </script> </form>

but i dont want to use the stripe button, i want to use my own button

stripe298: you wouldn't use Stripe checkout at all.

just <button type="submit"> http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_button.asp
