platea: I don't believe so, that opens up the "ton of work for Stripe from a legal pespective" and the big issue is that it makes chargebacks really hard when you do long holding transactions like that

Thank you very much markin, will think how to do it with shorter milestones, thank you!

markin, may I ask you another question? one example what if freelancer delayed the delivery of the job, how is it possible to resolve this problem in your opinion?

what to do with the money which are on hold?

you get into issues. I'd email support, it could be that you could hold the money in your own bank account and then you pay them using some payouts service but I don't know if that would qualify as aggregation

maybe there is a way to put it on hold again?

markin, thank you, I'll try to contact stripe email support

hi Joseph

im trying to update stripe in my ios app. before, i would use an STPCard object to hold card info, but now it's saying that i should use STPParams

the issue i'm having is i need to get the brand type of the card

and STPParams doesn't have a property for brandType

like STPCard does

what should i do?

Joseph: so you're making a token using STPCardParams?

well, i have the token. i just need the brand type of the card so i can trigger a delegate method in another controller to check brand type and display the brand image accordingly

so the token has a card property which should have a brand

before, i passed the STPCard object into that delegate method

which contained the brand type all the card info

since STPCard has deprecated cardNumber, expMonth, etc

token.card should be a STPCard

is there anyway i can get the brand type from this delegate method?

`- (void)paymentCardTextFieldDidChange:(STPPaymentCardTextField *)textField {`

Hey folks – we’re in the process of getting our EIN but was wondering if it’s possible to activate our account without it while we’re waiting for it to come in (since we have users who want to pay us now).

Not sure if this is the right forum for that, but hoping someone knows :P

nimsical: I don't believe so, but you'd probably want to ask support to be sure

@tr12: thanks!

Appreciate it.

Joseph: doing some digging

thanks

i had it working before, but i was on a year out-of-date framework

isn't the brandimage part of the STPPaymentCardTextField already?

yeah

but i would like get the STPCardBrand

and that's not a part of the textfield

no STPCardParams

nor*

STPCardValidator has a get brand for number method

so you can get the number from the STPCardParams I believe

from textfield?

textField.cardParams

yeah

what goes after textField.cardParams?

textField.cardParams.number should be the number

and then you can call brandForNumber https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios/blob/0e0b2...

Hi... wanted to find out if there is a way to 1) build the receipt permalink using the API 2) send an invoice email using the API

thank goodness that's exactly what im looking for

thanks markin!

Thai_: 1 no 2 yes

trying to dig through and didn't find any hint

What is the difference between charge.failed and invoice.payment_failed? which one should I listen to for a subscription invoice?

hello! is it possible to turn off the “declined” messages when using Stripe Checkout?

striped: well an invoice creates a charge, so if that charge fails 2 objects are affected

galgeek: if you don't provide an amount to checkout, checkout won't validate the card

I'm looking to build an application where we'll be purchasing items from people and instead of using cash we'd like to be able to have them provide their debit card. Is there a way to force the charges to the one paying instead of the one receiving in this scenario? It appeared that the account receiving the payment was the one getting charged for the transaction.

markin: so I just need to listen to one of them, right?

striped: yeah, the invoice one tends to be better

MKCline: so its just you buying stuff or you buying stuff that other people are paying for?

Just us buying stuff, and typically will only ever buy from the same person once

MKCline: then I can't say Stripe is the right thing for that use case

In the end we warehouse and re-sell the stuff eventually, but the transaction is really around the purchase, I was hoping to create a managed account based on their debit card and then issue an invoice from that to us and pay that invoice.

markin: it’s been recommended that we use auth & capture to reduce fraudulent card testing… but if checkout still displays “authorization declined” then the site is still of use to card testers

Any idea what a better technology match might be? Paypal seems obvious, but wasn't wanting to require the paypal account of the user. Venmo would be perfect except they have a pretty low weekly transfer limit. Our business is very seasonal

galgeek: checkout just does a $0/$1 check

MKCline: the issue is you're looking for like a money transmission tool (like Paypal or Venmo), Stripe is for processing credit card tools

MKCline: maybe like payoneer or something

A purchase transactions will be from range from $5 to $700, which can exceed Venmo's weekly limit of $3K pretty quickly. Thanks, I'll check on payoneer

galgeek: but if you don't provide checkout with an amount then it won't do that $0/$1 check

ah, so there’ll still be an auth when we create the charge, just no message on the form?

yep

got it. thanks, markin!

how do you send a receipt email if the charge has been charged already?

Thai_: update the receipt_email property of the charge

i just tried that... maybe it's because im on test environment... didn't get any email

correct no receipts are sent via the api in test mode

ahhhh make sense

if the receipt_email never change... does it send email

I think so

ok let me try that
