#stripe

otherwise pass for now

The goals of a user when visiting this page is either to add their bank account preemtively, to add the bank account because they have made money, to get verified on our platform (through Stripe), to change info like their address or bank account, or to meet some kind of demand from Stripe.

So the page has a lot of jobs.

yeah

I’ll see if I can form a coherent thought and post on the Stripe Connect Discussions group regarding API-restrictions before verification.

is there anybody?

Hi stripe874

Hi there, in subscriptions if a user's card is declined/expired and the user updates the card (through my app) will stripe automatically retry the previous failed charges?

Hi troy__jo we don't retry previous invoices

although if you change the default card while there are still retries up it would work but you need to reopen the closed invoices manually

orlondow: https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/guide#rea...

says there is a way to retry the failed payment attempts?

Specifically this part --> In either case, after the final payment attempt on an invoice, no further payment attempts will be made until a new payment method (i.e., credit card) is added to the customer’s account. The two states differ in what happens from that point forward.

hi guys where do i find the list of exception for stripe PHP

troy__jo: yeah I see what you mean but it means something else here. when an invoice is closed we don't retry it

Hi baako would this be okay? https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#handling-errors

otherwise you can check in the php lib code

Stripe_Error this used to be used in php below 5.3.3

is this now \Stripe\Error\Base

depends on your binding version

am using the lastest version of stripe for php

we just upgrade to php 7 from php 5.2.16

you php version is not really important here except for the requirements of the library, but yes if you use the latest stripe-php bindings, the doc I linked is the one that's used

it does matter orlondow the version because its a big join and we are trying to use the latest version because of the OOP-ness of it

if they is a word like "oop-ness"

baako: I'm just saying that as long as you use php above 5.3.3 you won't see a difference in you stripe-php usage. The namespace formatting you see in the doc was introduced almost 2 years ago and if you use the latest bindings this is the way to go

php 5.2.16 is like 10 years ago lol

we used to use a old old old very of the stripe api

which is why i asked what stripe_error(used be used in php 5.2) is in the php 5.3 +

I get what you say, I was just explaining that this formatting is decided by the stripe-php lib not your php version although you can be restricted to older bindings if you're stuck on an old server.

good afternoon all

matt____: Hello

i have a question regarding payments around the world:)

My company is in the UK, but we expect our new website to be used throughout different countries, which will have different tax

I didnt think about this , until i finished the website. Which uses a custom form and checkout.js

matt____: okay, I'm following you so far

ok ill break it down

i have a checkout form on my site, and its for £3.99

now if someone from america trys to purchase this, their tax would be different?

or is it the same

matt____: I think I understand you concern - you are concerned about tracking the taxes that you may incur from each country. Give me a second to check something real fast

yes, because i dont want to go a year down the line , and then have the taxman knocking saying i have violated laws because ive only payed uk tax on all money coming throught the website

matt____: okay, so generally companies selling things within Europe or Australia have to calculate a VAT or GST. There are exemptions for various kinds of goods though

hi.. I need to know if is required ssl or not

yes

matt____: because knowing where and when to collect taxes is so nuanced, we generally recommend speaking with an accountant

pablo, ssl not required, but is 100% recommended

ftknox, but how would stripe help in this

pablo__: SSL is absolutely required on the page that you are collecting payment information on

because if i just have stripes dashboard with a million transactions

pablo__: for Live mode transactions. For Test Mode transactions, SSL is not required

I will never know if 100% of them was in the UK , or 3% was in china etc

matt____: correct - I was looking into some plugins that we know work well.

matt____: You will probably want to read https://support.stripe.com/questions/custom-fie... and https://support.stripe.com/questions/handling-t... which both recommend using Alavara, BBillbo, or a few other tax calculation services

ok , i will look into that now

thanks

matt____: you're welcome - good luck!

Does anyone know how a subscription would just change after a month? I created a yearly subscription plan a month ago for 9.95 and it was only charging them 9.94, so I deleted the old subscription and created a new one with the same ID for 9.95 and it that made it work. I then updated the few customers that were on that plan and everything has been fine. I have had many subscribers subscribe to the new 9.95 plan. But now, 30 days later I just had 2

subscribers over night that subscriber and it changed my subscription plan back to 9.94?

If a card is validated and added to a customer object, why would a payment fail the next day with the error saying invalid card #? Doesn't the card validation check for this when adding a new card?

stripe763: If you are tokenizing using Stripe.js all that is checked at the time of tokenization is that the card number passes the Luhn check

bmaq: are you using a plugin to interact with Stripe?

@ftknox: No, php sdk. Is there a way to validate a card before charging the user?
