hi there anybody can hlp me with some stripe questions?

ping?

pbarker, I'll help the best I can - I'm not a Stripe employee.

hello

I have a question regarding placing charges using stripe checkout

I am selling digital downloads and I’m using stripe checkout

so far I’m through to making two calls to stripe after the checkout in order to process payment and take the customer to the download page

but the wait time between the checkout window turning green and receiving the ok is too long

are you familiar with this?

how do I fund my account so I can do a transfer immediately after making a charge?

Hey everyone

Does anyone here have any knowledge in SSL / HTTPS?

Yes.

_Eric_ You know how you can purchase SSL certificates? Once you have one, do you actually need to configure anything, or does simply having a certificate protect all data transmissions on your site?

_Eric_ Also, is HTTPS something you can simply activate on cPanel?

aeed, the certificate information must be generated on your server, then you take that to a certificate company and they'll generate an SSL cert for you to install. Depending on what kind of a host you have (shared, vps, dedicated, managed) will dictate the steps required. Check with your host.

That said, it's a pretty straight forward process.

_Eric_ I see, thanks. Is there anything you actually need to code though? For example, will I need to use SSL in my POST transmissions, or with my communications with Stripe? Or does simply installing a cert configure all of that?

Depends on the setup. The most common problem is people using 'http' hardcoded links instead of 'https' when it comes to SSL.

Do you mean as hardcoded links as in <a> tags?

Yes - websites in general. If there is an 'http' link in the html when you're viewing the site as 'https' it'll display a warning to the website viewer saying there are broken links.

Hi there. Any Stripe guru's available to help pls?

hey sorry, im having an error and I'm not sure what I changed. "Could not determine which URL to request: Stripe\Charge instance has invalid ID"

i checked the token of the credit card and it matches the dashboard

rickste76, what's your question?

set up Stripe in WooCommerce and tested out with Sandbox enabled. Checkout gives "Invalid positive integer" as an error?

_Eric_ Okay thanks

what are you putting for the amount?

rickste76: Is it possible you are giving a double instead of an interger as amount ?

test item at value of £0.01

yes it needs to be in cents

1500 = $15.00

_Eric_ How can you determine whether or not your SSL certificate requires coding? Is there anywhere leads you can give me to read?

aeed: check your site if links have http in front http://www.yourSite.com

I haven't deployed it yet Nic335

aeed: if your link are /page1.html,/page2.html

Oh,

is there a way to fund my stripe account balance that doesn't incur the stripe transaction fee?

_Nic335_ Does stripe not allow testing for a sample order at the value of 1 penny??

no minimum charge is 50cents

I think

Ok. I'll amend price, re-test and let you know shortly.

rickste76: Cool :)

aeed, https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase... since you're on cpanel. Pretty much the same instructions if you buy it from anywhere and if you have cPanel.

_Eric_ Thanks, I'll take a look

_Nic335_ I now get this response "Amount must convert to at least 50 pence. $0.10 converts to approximately £0.06." - This is happening even though the test item added to basket is priced at £20.00.

_Eric_ What's the best SSL cert provider?

aeed, can't say considering it's matter of personal opinion and your needs. FYI aeed my name has changed. Just type "|E" and hit the tab button, and it'll finish my name for you - that way it'll notify me properly in the chat.

|Eric|: I'm looking for the cheapest provider, with the best acceptance rate for professional businesses. Also, how did you configure your name to do that?

You shouldn't spend more than $12 either RapidSSL or GeoTrust. Type "/nick NAME" without the quotes to change your NICK.

My nickname is now .a

|Eric|: What's the benefit of expensive SSL certificates? They can cost up to hundreds of dollars

Verification, insurance, and communicating that to the website browser. For example, an EV SSL Certificate will go out of their way to make sure your business is legitmate by verifying your business through government documents (articles of incorporation, business license, so on) and then have a green address bar in the browser communicating that to the website viewer.

aeed, godaddy has them for 55/year

oh sorry

didnt read

aeed, doesn't apply in your case I'm guessing, but if you're a hosting company and want to issue SSL certs you can do that with a more expensive certificate.

|Eric|: Would an online store require a higher-grade SSL cert? You're doing payments on a mass scale, so is it worth the investment?

aeed, if you're doing sales on a mass scale then you need to seriously reconsider using cPanel, as SSL certificates are the least of your worries.

I've never deployed a website before, so I don't know much about any of this. What's wrong with cPanel, and what are some alternatives?

aeed, let me guess, you're on a shared hosting account?

|Eric|: Haven't set anything up yet. What's the best option?

aeed, I don't want to monopolize the chat since it's off-topic. Send me a private message to continue this conversation.

|Eric|: Okay

Hello all

Can someone give me a little direction for where I should be looking in terms of this query

I want to allow a customer to update their credit card details

I am not sure how to go about it, as checkout.js requires me to re-add the email once more...
