I don't really do web coding. I am more into BI

fyi, in case it's not clear, i am not a stripe employee, just someone that has been using their service for a long time :)

amishra yea, if you're not a code it's best to hire someone or stick with paypal

*coder

what would the charge_id help with?

bravo it's so I can identify the specific charge related to the payment, in the event the customer has multiple payments

i store other meta data with the payment object related specifically to things happening inside my application

if your setup only allows users to pay once then it wouldn't make much sense to store it

yeah I am using the event webhook to determine the access, depending on what plan the subscribe. sooo the so saving their subscription_id wouldnt be so necessary right? or would you still strongly recommend it?

it all depends on how you reconcile the stripe web hook with your local data

I am just thinking of allowing them to pay it whenever they forgot by a press off a button on their account once they have been denied access

if you don't need the subscription_id but instead base everything from the subscriber_id then that works fine.

I am guess it would help there right?

the charge_id

the charge_id is a one time thing only, it's not like it can be used by your application. I store it for record keeping purposes. So If i need to lookup in stripe what the situation was with a specific charge I can do that easily.

it's for auditing purposes, if that makes sense

ohhh okay thanks

Hi there - I feel there may be an issue with the tokens generated in Test mode for me - they recently started raising an error 'test_mode_live_card' with the 42424242.... card. eg. req_IH6wtG5UiwHwqk

hmm colodev i just tested a transaction on my test page and it worked fine

what exactly is the error you're getting?

{ "error": { "message": "Your card was declined. Your request was in test mode, but used a non test card. For a list of valid test cards, visit: https://stripe.com/docs/testing.";, "type": "card_error", "param": "", "code": "card_declined", "decline_code": "test_mode_live_card" } }

I double checked, and the token I am providing is one that is generated from a test card

in the POST /v1/customers endpoint

i mean it's a stupid question but you used 16 digit 4242 4242 4242 4242 with a exp date in the future and a 3 digit cvc?

also is it possible some auto-complete system was typing in a legit credit card number into the fields? that happens to me sometimes

yep! at first I thought that could be the problem, but yeah the card meets those criteria

also did you try a different test card number? there are a bunch of others besides the 4242 one

good thought on the autocomplete, but no, I checked in the dashboard logs, and it is definately using the 4242 one. Haven't tried with other cards, I will give that a shot now and let you know

although the error message I find very strange, 'Your request was in test mode, but used a non test card'

yea, i find it strange that its showing up on your dashboard but showing the last 4 of 4242 with the proper cvc and exp date

i would look in the logs on that charge to find more details

if the different test card number doesn't work

ddellav - so funny story - the other test card works fine! just not the 4242 one

that's very strange... i just tested the 4242 one and it worked fine. It must be something weird with your implementation

or perhaps your api version

idk if that comes into play

its weird that it was working with the 4242 card earlier this week, without me changing my implementation. Anyway - thanks for your help, ill just use the other test card instead ;)

colodev ok, good luck :)

Hey guys, on the off chance I can get help here... I've sent several messages over the past 48hrs to Stripe support with no replies. My client is jumping up and down screaming. How do I get in touch with someone?

RobP i don't work for stripe but i've used it for awhile, maybe I can help?

there are others in this channel that might be able to lend their expertise

it's 1am on the east coast USA so I doubt anyone is at offices right now

Client is a gym, we just switched them to Stripe and one of their new members has their card flagged "payment blocked due to high risk". I want to know if we can unblock the card.

ah, yea, i think that's something for legit support. From what I read though it seems like their radar system is pretty much the law, i don't know if they will override it. Did it say why it was high risk? usually there's a reason. High risk transactions or the payment location doesn't match the country the card was issues in, stuff like that

Primary risk factor: This card (2529) has been linked to a history of fraudulent activity.

Customer says they only have this one card and use it every day

Wants to know why our system sucks

RobP: tell them to check their credit card statement, someone probably stole the card and is using it online

that is possible

cperciva: thanks, but for the card to be labelled fraud, wouldn't have to have reported it already?

no, banks report cards for fraud all the time automatically

RobP: yes, but not necessarily by the customer :-)

RobP: I'm pretty sure "this card has been linked to a history of fraudulent activity" means that another merchant using Stripe reported a transaction as fraud

cperciva: yes my understand too. I want stripe to unblock it

RobP: things like "country doesn't match" or "using an anonymizing service" may be legitimate usage (customer is on vacation, using tor, etc.), but if it's a matter of *this specific card is known to have been used fraudulently*, you really don't want that payment

regardless, i don't think there's anything we can do to help, he needs one of the @'s with actual access

Hey there :) Is this the place go ask questions about Stripe's API?

@All - hello guys, I am planning to use product and subscription using stripe. It would be helpful if anyone can guide me for the same

Hi all! I'm experiencing a lot of "security" errors with stripe.js on chrome mobile iOS .. particular error is .. Blocked a frame with origin "https://<my-domain>" from accessing a frame with origin "https://js.stripe.com". Protocols, domains, and ports must match. .. is that something thats already known?

only thing that i've found is this two bugs on chrome https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/det... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/det...

Hi there. We are implementing a "donations" option in our website, and we would like to use Stripe to process the payments. Is this something that Stripe allows, or does it require an actual product being bought?

https://stripe.com/docs/recipes/on-demand-app here under "Processing payments" it says we have to create a payment token

it doesn't mention how to create a payment token
