#stripe

celsius: sure

koopajah: Yeah, testing now. brb

for example, the use case would be storing the a token (normally returned by stripe) so the user already has cc stored

ericmeds: create a test customer with the card already added and use that customer

ok thanks

I Have a new e-commerce site, i created it a month ago.. I would to integrate Stripe as gateway payment on it.. but i need the html code, and I can't find it

celsius: what do you mean by "i need the html code"

the html code, the same for integrate paypal

on your site

hello

I'm having issues with MasterCard payments

payments from a subscription

anyone else?

osroca: not that I'm aware of, a few declines are common though and you can look at https://stripe.com/help/declines

the message is too generic

celsius: we don't offer the same thing as paypal, you still need a server and write some code in PHP or something. If you're not comfortable doing that you need to look into a third party like payzo.io or commencepayments.com

osroca: that's what we get back from the bank though basically, we don't receive very detailed information on declines from a card holder's institution. Since the decision is made on the bank's end we don't have any additional insight other than what we are able to provide you via the dashboard and API.

Where could i find a server?

celsius: integrating stripe requires being able to build the code yourself and that's not a small task. You should look into the services I just recommended if you're looking for something like paypal

3 different customers with 3 different cards, the cards worked fine until middle January and the only thing in common is that they are cards from European bank accounts

Ah ok.. and with that service i will use stripe or other gatweys?

osroca: in that case you need to email support about that and give the list of each charge that you want us to look into

celsius: the two I recommended are built on Stripe! The second one was built by markin who is in this channel a lot to help users

Hi! celsius if you have any questions about commence, feel free to ask, its quite literally just Stripe Checkout but it charges cards and makes subscriptions

koopajah: one of them was deleted from Stripe, attached again with a new customer ID and it worked in the following payment attempt

anyway I'll email with that to support

thanks for your help

just wanted to know if it was a recurrent issue

osroca: it's possible that the bank refuses subscriptions for that card

so if you add it again the first charge works and then it's declined

the customer needs to contact his bank

I saw that site... if i want to sell something, accepting credit cards should i simple register on those sites?

koopajah: Alright, after fiddling with it, Stripe API's 'List All Invoices' route does not show upcoming invoices.

koopajah: i found the issue.. after the create of customer call,,.. i was also doing a retrieve call for the card... in which i wasnt passing the stripe's requst options.. and that was throwing the exception

koopajah: sorry for the falso negative

celsius: what are you trying to do though? That completely depends on what you are using for your website

celsius: you can register at commence, you'll be prompted to create a Stripe account. and then you'll be given like 5 lines of html to copy and paste onto your website

tanzchantz: ha! no worries I'm glad that I read the code correctly at least :) thanks for clarifying! I'm keeping your code on the side in case someone needs it later

ac360: yeah, list all invoices won't list upcoming invoices because upcoming invoices haven't been created yet

koopajah: sure.

koopajah: Here's a tiny update request for the docs that could save people some time. In the "List All Invoices" area, put: "The List All Invoices route does not show upcoming invoices. Please use the Upcoming Invoices route for that."

markin: Yo! Thanks :)

I want to sell some goods, acepting Stripe on my siite, cuz I have an us bank aacount

that's al

ac360: hmmm not convinced but I'll forward it internally

ac360: all the upcoming invoice does is look at any pending line items and add that to a pretend invoice with the next subscription up for renewal. you'll note that the upcoming invoice doesn't even have an invoice id

celsius: you can see if commence is enough for you, or you can look at some shopping cart solutions like shopify. there isn't one solution for everyone

And what can i do with shopify?

celsius: shopify is a complete online shopping cart, they take care of the webhosting, they can handle inventory, help you generate shipping labels, all the fancy stuff

markin: By "pending line items" do you mean: Only line items that have failed to be charged in the past? The next month's subscription charge according to the corresponding plan? Or both?

pending line items is line items not yet added to an invoice

so only charges not added to a current invoice show up in upcoming

Got it.

The problem is that i would like to accept paymant for my goods trhough Stripe. That's the poblem...what should i do?

markin: Do you have any patterns for loading upcoming invoices across all customers? Right now, it looks like I have to make API requests for each customer, which will get slower as the app scales.

ac360: are you planning using invoice items a ton?

celsius: Thats a very broad problem though, its like asking "I want to by a car", well do you want a 4 door or a 2 door, sedan or van, etc?

celsius: we can provide different options but you should see which one works best for you

Yeah, I'm building a subscription based app. The customer base is already several hundred. I need to make some forecasting charts. But making several hundred API requests to Stripe and aggregating the result seems inefficient.

celsius: Commence just lets you accept payments and not much else. Shopify does pretty much everything but it comes at a higher cost and less customizations to your website

ac360: you can also check out baremetrics

I understand.. but I would like that my custmers pay me on my stripe account..

celsius: I get that, and there are quite literally 1000 ways to do that. Do you already have a website?

markin: I've seen them, but I have to hand this app over as a all-in-one solution. Talking with you has got me thinking though. I'm sure I have enough data in the lcoal database to create forecasts that are accurate without Stripe.

Yes i have a web site, now what should i do?

celsius: if you already have a website, I'd recommend commence (not just because I built it), but since its pretty much just 5 lines of code you add to your website and it creates a button. Your user clicks the button enters the credit card and you get paid

Ah than

x

now i understand

so where could i find the code?

celsius: there's example code right on the home page of commencepayments.com and when you log in, you'll be presented with your own custom code for your account

thank you

I can accept only mastercard?

celsius: is there a reason why you would want to? The fee is all the same for Stripe

Yes, I have already paypal, but my account was limited so i'mtryng to move away from them, chosing other alternatives

celsius: yeah so with Stripe you can accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and they all cost exactly the same, so why just limit to mastercard? It would annoy your customers who have Visa or American Express

Ok, thanx for all

Hello

Hi john

Is there a Stripe support here?

Guest94718: This is Stripe's developer support room

Ok maybe you can save me! We switch our Stripe account to Live mode. After a successful test with our card, I removed the card and customer in Stripe Dashboard. Then I redo with the same card (and other cards) and I always get the same error : "Your card was declined"

I don't know why?! Can you help me please?

are you sure in the dashboard you're in live mode (the little toggle is set to live and not test)

Yes I'm in live mode

are you entering the zip code and cvc code?

cvc yes but no zipcode

and you haven't tried contacting your bank and inquiring about the decline?

I test with different cards with 1$ payment

Guest94718: so in general testing multiple different live cards over and over with $1 payments is a good way to annoy banks. Thats why you should contact your bank and make sure that they are declining it. and if they say they aren't then you'll want to email support@stripe.com

You mean the card holder bank? or our company bank?

the cardholder bank, they're who decline charges

ok. But I don't understand when I test with a new card (another bank never used before in our test) we have the same message? Is it possible that our stripe account is suspended or something like that?

Stripe would normally give you another error message, though testing a ton of cards in the dashboard with $1 charges is the way to raise flags. you can email support@stripe.com and they can look into your account specifically

so if I understand well, the error message comes from the bank, otherwise the error message, if coming from stripe, would be different?

if it was the case that Stripe had suspended your account it would be a different error.

The standard operating procedure is to have the cardholder contact their credit card company, and then to contact support@stripe.com

ok thanks markin I'll do that

thank you bye bye

Hi

Hi Guest66

I have a question regarding Stripe Checkout integration. Is this the right place to ask?

Yeah

So to launch the checkout process, you have first to create a Handler

var handler = StripeCheckout.configure({ ... });
