Has anyone got 2 seconds to answer 2 really simple stripe checkout questions?

MrB_: always!

1) Using just JS (stripe checkout as per the demo) is there a success/fail callback I can hook into?

and

2) I've created a product, yet the walkthroughs all show creating a product on the fly - how do I link the stripe checkout js call to my created product

Thanks!

Guest7694: this firebase-talk discussion might be helpful: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/firebas...

MrB_: so for 1. you want to see the "custom integration" here https://stripe.com/docs/checkout#integration-cu...

there's a JS callback that happens when checkout succeeds in collecting a card

and an opened()/closed() callback you can hook into as well

is the callback token: function(token) { // You can access the token ID with `token.id`. // Get the token ID to your server-side code for use. } ?

yep, that's it!

for #2 I'm not sure what you mean by "created the product"

it's important to note that checkout *does not* charge the card, it only collects the payment info. You have to write server-side code to take the card token & create a charge

I've logged in, and on the dashboard section I created a product (with an id)

Ahhh.

I've been misunderstanding it

I thought it was pure js and everything was done on stripe's servers

unfortunately no, but there are some integrations that can help you avoid writing server side code https://stripe.com/docs/integrations#ecommerce

https://www.commencepayments.com/ for example lets you create a button in HTML/JS and will create the charges for you

I can write PHP alright, just struggling with the terminology (been a long day coding, now it's going to be a long night)

this might be helpful then! https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/php

So how do I link the charge with my product, via the PHP part, or when generating the token?

(and thanks!)

Hello

products are specifically for Relay, which is mainly aimed at selling through channels like Twitter

Question for #stripe folks about tax_percent

MrB_: you don't *need* to use products to create charges

Does tax_percent get recorded in Test Mode or just Live Mode

No, but I want each transaction to lower the qty of the SKU

thanks hpar

MrB_: ah ok, then you'll want to use the "create order" approach https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#create_order

will look at it right now

Guest7694: it gets recorded for both you just need to specify it

JohnOHFS: tax_percent should behave the same in Live & Test Mode, what's the problem you're seeing?

thanks @hpar - that's probably enough for me to get on with - appreciate the help

It's getting passed to Stripe, but it's not showing up in the dashboard

Here's my last subscription create call:

wait. Let me try that again.

ok. nm. I need to do some more troubleshooting

quit

What would the proper way to delay the billing of a subscription for the first month? Like, how if you sign up for netflix, you're billed in 30 days or whatever from when you signed up

hey all

does anyone know if you can charge a dynamic price per item with stripe orders API?

when creating an order I am trying to set 'amount' along with the SKU but the price set on stripe always gets charged instead of my dynamic price

would like to do dynamic price per unit based on quantity

or A/B testing purposes

clay_: don't use the orders api just use the charge api

Ryuske: set up a trial?

orders API is better for physical products though, right?

we have a physical product we'll be shipping, etc

markin seems like weird terminology, since it isn't really a trial?

Ryuske: with netflix it is though, you're billed for the upcoming month with netflix not the past month

clay_: the orders API is really just for the Relay product / service

ah okay -- so i should really be doing all the fulfillment dashboard stuff on my own side?

in terms of collecting and saving shipping addresses, marking things as fulfilled, etc

clay_: thats what I tend to recommend

Hmm, I guess I'll just do it with the trial then

im already collecting and saving addresses etc -- would just be a matter of finding a good dashboard to use to keep track of whats shipped etc etc

Just a weird word to me I guess, but it's what it is I guess

alright cool thanks man - i'll likely switch back to charges

Ryuske: well with Netflix it is actually a trial, you get like 14 or 30 days free

Ryuske: netflix does pre-paid billing not post paid billing

my first physical product (done digital all my life) -- little worried about screwing up in terms of not keeping track of wahts shipped well enought

stripe subscriptions are all pre-paid so if you want to simulate post-paid then setting a trial is a way to test that

worried about setting up the process correctly etc

anyway thanks again

clay_: spreadsheets can be very helpful :)

haha yah i feel like i'm gonna be spreadsheeting it up soon enough

thanks again

markin well I didn't get 30 days free last time I signed up for (I probably used it before and forgot), but it also didn't charge me for 30 days

Ryuske: that seems wrong, I can guarantee they do pre-paid billing

can you send ship address to stripe w/ charge?

i know you can turn on that option w/ stripe checkout

markin Hmm, no idea. Guess it isn't really important haha

I'll just set a trial for 30 days out.

clay_: you can, stripe will store it but not really do anythign with it

cool. thanks

I am creating a token using the following code stripe_platform.tokens.create({ customer: customer, card: saved_cc }, { stripe_account: data.stripeAuthInfo.stripe_user_id },

But now I want to create a token for the platform, so I want the platform to get paid, not the connected stripe user. How would I do that?

Why can't you change a plans trail_period_days?

I tried removing the stripe_account parameter, but that did not work

Amit___: you wouldn't need a token you'd just charge the customer not a token

Ryuske: mostly because theres some weird edgecases about how that would effect existing subscriptions

so what would my "source" be?

markin hmm, I see

Amit___: you don't set source you just specify customer

Amit___: https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_charge

understood

appreciate it

how do u make a stripe connect callback url dynamic?

it wants me to set a sepcific url

Tim: you'd have to specify a specific url

for example.. I want the callback to route back to /users/{:id}/somthing

hmmm

Tim: you'd have it route to a single url and then that single url could send it else where

ok, how will I know which id it will be?

object id

well your server would already have a session set up with the logged in user no?

Well trial works. Thanks!

yeah.. just wanted to be sure though

just in case, better to do a find again on the object

the server session method is the best since thats much less vulnerable to attack

you could pass it in the "state" query param but the main issue with that is that it is user modifiable

yeah good point

what do u mean "server session"? how will I get the object again?

when you log into your website the server knows your logged in so when you refresh the page you don't need to re-login right?
