#stripe

spala: I mean print it to a console or log somewhere so you can see what amount is before you submit it.

Korben: yes i echoed the variable even on the same page as the payment form and the amount displaced perfectly but it fails in the stripe\charge part

does stripe provide a book on how to record tranasactions, for example should I store tax, price, and total price, or just tax and price

flufs!

Who needs a fluffer??

omg lol

I'm back!

I need help setting up stripe elements

where do I put the javascript part of the code

from the example here https://stripe.com/docs/elements

I'm struggling here. I'm building an app that integrates stripe express connect. I've been able to get the users setup and retrieve an account ID, added a login link for them to update their account information via the express platform. Can I charge one customer using their account ID and pay another using their account ID? I don't know what to put in my POST chargeCustomer call for source ...

hi - what are the best tools for examining stripe post parameters? for example, what other parameters are in $_POST besides 'stripeToken'?

Good luck getting a response.

Does Stripe support prepaid Visa cards (specifically in Japan?) The test cards have an option for MasterCard Debit and MasterCard prepaid, but no test card for Visa prepaid. Does a Visa Prepaid just act exactly the same as a Visa Debit?

From my understanding prepaid cards are the same as real. But I'm not expert

bschwind, visa prepaids do work, yes. Not sure about Japan specifically, but I'm sure they do.

kaylined, great, thanks for the confirmation!

any stripe developers online?

hello cweiss

Do you currently use Stripe?

anyone here uses Stripe yet?

amishra i've used stripe for awhile, whats up?

Trying to understand the learning curve on initial set up

it's a fairly small curve compared to other payment services I have integrated

besides something completely hands off like PayPal or some bitcoin services where you're literally just dropping a button on the page and thats it

but thats not "payment integration" thats a link to someone else

Paypal was quite easy as you would create button and so forth on the page so you can see graphically how you want to customize before they give you embed code. Here it seems you have to know what you are creating.

right, this is actual integration with your app. You can go the easy route and use their quick checkout system

that is basically a popup that collects all the info and returns back a token for you to submit server-side

Yeah, I hated that about Paypal where it redirects you to their page unless you pay for some kind of pro service.

right, stripe gives you full control

There are essentially two types of set up I will need. One for donations button where users can have flexibility to the amount they want to pay. The other is a fixed amount, but user gets ability to type in the number of tickets they want to purchase.

This is going to be used on a non-profit website so down the road, I may also be interested in adding a subscription button for someone who may want to donate a fixed amount overtime on a regular basis.

ok, both of those remove your ability to use their simple checkout process only. You will have to create a form that captures the custom amount and any multipliers then calculates the proper amount and pops up the checkout modal

for them to enter their payment info

then that will submit to your server where you will take their token and submit the charge to stripe

How difficult is what I am trying to achieve? Can I achieve all three?

Hello

fyi subscriptions can be tricky, they really require the development of a web hook to listen for subscription events and react to them. Though I suppose if you don't need to do anything if they don't pay or whatever you can maybe just ignore it

amishra you definitely can. I have actually coded all of those before

Okay, I can let go of the subscription idea

Once I get more familiar with it, I can think of ways to add that later but in order to create a simple donation button giving free text for user to pay is fairly easy?

amishra here is the stripe docs i followed when setting up the custom amount payment page: https://stripe.com/docs/recipes/variable-amount...

I actually used invoice.payment_success and invoice.payment_failed to grant or deny access to my subscription serve

service*

bravo correct, that is the normal way of doing things. You can also expand it by using other events to warn the users when their payments are coming up

I should probably do that too lol

that first line of code has fixed amount hard coded, but you are saying that is a variable amount?

you might also want to listen to the subscription cancelled event in case they cancel it through stripe

amishra that first line of code is showing you how to set the amount dynamically

so the idea is you could have your templating system input the amount into that button code

that would be the simplest way of doing things

but most likely you will have the button code on the same page as the form field for setting the amount

that would require some javascript to get working properly

it has constraint data amount line, data-amount="2000">

i.e. to do it without having to submit the form and re-loading

constant value*

amishra right, you could set that in your templating code if you used that type of system

so data-amount="{$post.amount}"

or $("#div").data('amount', 2000); with jquery

in that example it would be $(".stripe-button").data('amount', 2000);

additionally that first bit of code is showing HOW to set it beforehand, not how to set it dynamically

it's like "this is how you usually do it, but if you want variable, read on"

if that makes sense

would it be possible to open up like a widget or layover payment screen (not popup but within page)?

Thank you, I just wrote a note of that. I am just here to get some expert advice. What ids do you recommend me storing in my database to avoid extra work in the future. I am guessing, Customer ID and Subscriber ID?

amishra you can do whatever you want, as long as you have the coding experience to make it happen, sure

you could launch a bootstrap modal to do what you needed.

I'm just saying what is the easiest route

bravo personally i store customer_id, charge_id, and subscriber_id

along with the actual subscription they chose

but i err on the side of storing more than necessary

better to have it and not need it...

you do any freelancing work? I may have to hire you to set one up :)

lol I do, feel free to PM if you want more info
