why is stripe asking for a personal_id_number for verification?

wspider: no, you still need both of those parameters

ok

wspider: the `data-amount` and `data-currency` attributes in the Checkout config are only for display purposes in the Checkout modal

ftknox: oks, good

carl__: this is usually an SSN or EIN that US based merchants are asked to submit so that we can verify the identity of that legal_entity

@ftknox - i'm trying to think, but how would one approach that? storing something in the metadata to check against when the coupon has been used is the only way i could think

dhod: my thoughts are that in your database, you keep track of the Stripe Customer object's id parameter and each coupon code that this Customer has used. Then prior to applying the coupon to the Customer in Stripe, you check in your database to make sure that this would not be a duplicate use

Hi Stripe engineers! Quick question: if a connect user links a savings account instead of a checking account a) won't work right? and b

sorry: b) is the error message any different when it fails if it failed because it was savings?

\exit

derwiki: I believe it's possible for transfers to be successful at a savings account as long as it can accept ACH transfers. If it fails, I believe it's just a generic 'Could not Process' error that is thrown.

That's just from experience though. If you'd want the official confirmation, I'd wait for one of the devs to chime in :)

I want to update a Past Due subscription to active

I just need to update customer's credit card to a card that can charge successful, right?

is anyone there?

ftknox: one question, with this charge example, I want to authorize the charge, so when I go to the website and capture the money, is there a way to get a notification ?

not pay instantly but for the client to auth the capture

wspider: sure, you can pass `false` for the `capture` parameter in the Charge creation call

wspider: https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_charge-capture you will have 7 days down to the millisecond to capture that Charge then (https://stripe.com/docs/api#capture_charge)

ftknox: but If I capture a payment through www.stripe.com, there wont be any kind of notification sent to my backend ?

I ask because that's how this website worked previously, so I am trying to emulate it

wspider: you'll get a charge.succeeded webhook

hpar: ok, thx !

hi

Duc_: Hi!

could you help my question above?

Duc_: What was the question?

I want to update a Past Due subscription to active

I just need to update customer's credit card to a card that can charge successful, right?

Duc_: As long as there are still retries left on the invoice, then yes, that should solve it.

ok

how about unpaid status

how to active it?

I'm looking to use Stripe Subscription for recurring donations. How am I able to have each subscription have a specific amount (instead of getting it from the plan)?

hirshy: You can use quantities for that: https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/guide#set...

So I would need to make a $1 plan and then charge in quantities. It sounds backwards.

Duc_: You can reopen the most recent invoice and pay it, and that will reactivate the subscription - but it must be the most recent invoice. https://support.stripe.com/questions/unpaid-sub...

@timebox: as I know after subscription is unpaid, next invoice still generate but will be close default

Duc_: Right, so you need to get the most recent unpaid one for the subscription and pay it 'manually': https://stripe.com/docs/api#pay_invoice

@timebox: So I would need to make a $1 plan and then charge in quantities? It sounds backwards.

for example, I have invoice on 1/1 paid success, invoice on 2/1 fails and then all payment retry attempts have been exhausted.

So invoice on 3/1 still generated but will be closed, right?

so on, 4/1, 5/1..

hirshy: Ya, that's right.

Also, do I have to create the plan for each connected account? Is there a way to create it once and copy it over to the connected account?

Duc_: Invoices with daily billing cycles are unfortunately weird; they don't properly hit the retry limit because there's always a not-failed invoice left to try, so just find the most recent one and pay it and it should resume the subscription.

hirshy: They will have to be created in each Connected account - and no way to copy unfortunately. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/payments-fees#c...

ok, I have monthly

not daily

hey all, anyone here?

so in my case, invoice on 2/1 is most recent one, right?

Duc_: I can't read. Lolz. So, ya, if it's just marked as 'unpaid', it will keep generating them until you either cancel the subscription (to stop it) or pay the most recent invoice (to reenable it). You'd probably want to list all the invoices for the customer (https://stripe.com/docs/api#list_invoices) which comes back most recent first, and then step through to find the first one associated with the subscription, and then /pay that

one.

stripe869: Yup, what's up?

yo

dglambert: Yo.

Suprized there is such a large following for stripe on IRC

dglambert: Here's a terrible Venn diagram to help explain it: [ Stripe { developers ] IRC }

dglambert: What's up? What can I help you with?

Well I think its a stupid question, I am just starting to integrate checkout to my website with the sample code and everytime I click "Pay with Card" the page refreshes

i'll figure it out, I just thought it was weird that the sample code would do that

dglambert: Are you using the simple (HTML snippet) integration or the custom (JavaScript) one?

its the only code on the page

can there be multiple unpaid invoices for a subscription?

dglambert: <form action="" method="POST"> <-- You need to put something in the `action` or else it assumes it's the current URL and POSTs back to the same page. Make sense?

Duc_: There could be one for each period in which it was unpaid.

oh, so if a subscription has 3 unpaid invoices, then customer needs to paid all invoice so that their subscription change to active, right?

dglambert: You know what? What I just told you is not clear from the docs. I'll pass that along to the docs folks and see if we can make it clearer.

thanks timebox, I assumed maybe it was something simpler

or rather on my side

not the sample

also, no decimal point in checkout data-amount??

ie 999 is 9.99 and 50000 is 500.00

dglambert: No decimal point. They're integer cents (or whatever the smallest unit of the currency is).

timebox: right?

Duc_: No, you only need to pay the most recent one to reactivate the subscription, but you might want to pay the others too; up to you. :D Actually, if you want to make sure you collect all your money, you might want to start from the oldest and move towards the newest to ensure you capture everything owing - but up to you and your use case. :)

ok, thanks timeout

timebox

:D

Duc_: No problemo! :)
