need to know if there's anyway to combine charges... like let's say a customer checks out and we charge them $x and then 5 mins later they make another purchase, is there any way to combine that to look like one charge?

or is our best bet to run a pre-auth for the original and wait for the 2nd action

gator: yes and no. It's possible if you just don't charge the customer immediately and wait to see if he plans to buy something else maybe. Otherwise no as soon as you create a charge it's done you can't change it (other than refunding it)

yeah that would work, but there's no guarantee that the second charge (for 2 items) will work

right, unless you pre-auth with that amount in mind

So if a charge.failed webhook is triggered. How can I identify the customer from that data? Here is an example of the data I get http://pastie.org/10122272

and if that pre-auth fails you then attempt to charge the original amount and then skip any possible post-checkout upsell

bruce__: is that a one-time charge or a charge associated with a customer?

gator: sure

one-time

More readable version @koopajah http://cl.ly/image/2D1g2i2l3i1u/o

oh, nm

ha

It's associated with a customer @koopajah

then not sure

pretty sure I saw your email before and someone got back to you though

Oh just seeing Thomas did

Just responded too

Whats weird is that in my Events logs in Stripe, you can clearly see a customer id in the JSON

But when it's posted to me, that field is null

so you need to wait for thomas to get back to you. Quickly looking at the charge though it's not associated with a customer since it's the customer creation that failed

looking at the event in your dashboard I don't see any customer id

I think you're looking at the wrong event

https://dashboard.stripe.com/events/evt_68RauUF... clearly has "customer" null

since the customer creation failed

bruce__: wow, api-version: 2011-11-17, didn't know stripe supported versions that far back

Ah thanks guys, might be some fraudster

I'm OG!

You are :P

Cool, later guys/gals

in the stripe dashboard, under Connected accounts, we have a list of verified and non-verified accounts, how can you tell if an account is verified through the API?

uri_: so you would look at the `fields_needed` hash on the account and make sure you provide all that's needed

so we have verified accounts that still have fields needed

is the default_source always the card that will be used for a customer's subscription?

uri_: legal entities each have a verification

uri_: yeah so I think you can look at `transfers_enabled` and `charges_enabled`

subs: yes

koopajah, markin ill try both those

markin: just to be clear, if I change a customer's default_source, then their next invoice will be charged against the new default_source and not the original card that the sub was created with?

subs: correct

thank you

how can you tell if a managed account is 'verified'? it shows in the admin panel, but legal_entity[verification][status] says 'unverified'

there is nothing in the response payload to see if someone is verified

is there something required from a webhook that i am not seeing? There should be webhook logs in stripe admin panel - right?

didn't you just ask the same question? lol

ha no it was uri_

[11:24:40] <@koopajah>uri_: so you would look at the `fields_needed` hash on the account and make sure you provide all that's needed

[11:26:17] <@koopajah>uri_: yeah so I think you can look at `transfers_enabled` and `charges_enabled`

koopajah: thats not correct

what do you mean "that's not correct" ?

i asked that to support@stripe.com -> we always get transfers_enabled, charges_enabled = true even on unverified accoutns

and fields_needed is empty

then you'd need to ask support@stripe.com and wait for an answer

koopajah: as a heads up, there is an undocumented feature to create a verified managed account - you need to set the 'personal_id' to 000000000 or upload this file: https://stripe.com/img/documentation/guides/tes...

I'm aware of that but thanks for the heads up

i asked, they just didnt answer completely, and response times are 1.5 days

i figured i'd try her

is that way of verifying only for testing?

yep, unfortunately, managed accounts are still pretty new and in beta, a lot of moving pieces sorry about the delays

uri_: correct - you will never get a verified account without that

uri_: in test mode

gotcha thanks for the tip!

uri_: are you doing managed accounts?

yeah

hi, i'm wondering if a predispute can ever become an actual dispute

not sure, I would say yes but I'm not really familiar with disputes and account specific questions unfortunately

Hi, guys. Help us wiith method https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token. On first call it return always "Authorization code expired". What can cause it?

alex__: multiple things, you already using it, your code hardcoding an old authorization code, you using it more than 5 minutes after creation. Someone asked the exact same question earlier today

we definitely use new code, but get this error on first try.

have any idea?

nope unfortunately. If you're related to that other user who asked I told him to stop using Postman or what he was trying and instead write some code to make the POST request himself and have control over it

hello pls put me through about stripe business.

hello pls put me through about stripe business.

irctc134: what do you mean "put you through" ?

hey all quick question

I am trying t ofigure out WHERE to put the charge code on my server. what folder/file?

merci! :)

Guest2884: that depends completely on your server, your integration, the language and framework you use, etc.

koopajah: basic shared hosting server. using wordpress.

Guest2884: but do you write the whole code yourself or do you use a third-party plugin? I mean with wordpress it's not just writing the Create Charge call, you have to integrate with wordpress, use their database, etc.

i placed the form code that is in the stripe documentation https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/checkout . i got the token in my stripe dahsboard.

yeah so the token is just the first step then you need to use that token to create a charge https://stripe.com/docs/tutorials/charges but I have no idea how to do that in Wordpress, most people just use a third-party plugin

I've added a couple of automated tests that run stripe. What's an ok amount of requests per hour to send to stripe test? Is there a rate limit?

~30 requests per second in Live mode before we start sending rate limiting errors

Any limit on test?

test mode*

lol

my brain typed the wrong thing sorry

it's 30 requests per second in TEST mode

got it. thanks.
