Hi, could you help me please, We have custom accounts on board. Can account receive\payout money with min required info for USA, will his account become verified without additional information? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-verifi...

Hi! I'm having issues using a Stripe plugin for my wordpress site. I'm getting an error notification that said the Stripe API request was invalid. I can see the request on my Stripe dashboard in the Log, but the transaction doesn't show up, and the request seems to be missing a lot of data, and it's not specific to the request. Has anyone here seen this before?

On the Log, the request status is 200, but it didn't actually work

Is there anybody from the Stripe team here?

quit

has anyone used the ACH transfer ?

rails q: I use @description = "premium package" in my controller and want to use <%= @description %> with the checkout script in my view. I currently only get premium. Adding .inspect gets met "premium. again without the whitespace and package. Any idea what the problem is?

if you change the line to be @description = "beep boop", what's output?

beep

(i removed the .inspect)

at a guess, you need to stick quotes around <%= @description %>

presumably you're rendering html like `data-description=beep boop`

which a browser will understand to be `data-description="beep"`

and then an unrelated `boop=""` property

thank you

it works :)

I'm looking through the list of events in the API docs and am a bit puzzled by how charges work — there doesn't seem to be an event type that represents all captured charge events. What I means is: when a charge is created and captured simultaneously, "charge.succeeded" with `captured=true` is fired. But if a charge is created and then captured later, the events fired are (1) "charge.succeeded" with `captured=false`, and then (2)

"charge.captured"

Am I understanding that correctly? There's no single event that represents a capture? (whether that's an immediate capture or a delayed capture)

hello

hello?

Hi Kyle, I am having an issue on my site. When trying to make a payment, I am getting "My account is not currently making live charges"... Any ideas?

kylefox: that's correct

My guess would be that the API requests are being sent to Stripe in test mode

That's what I have read. But I've checked that? Let me triple check. Cheers anyways

tr12: thanks. So I guess I need to listen for both events and consider ("charge.succeeded" && captured = true) and "charge.captured"

kylefox: backing up a bit, what are you actually trying to do?

Guest11495 is it possible your Stripe account isn't completely setup? I'm not sure if there are requirements that must be met before a stripe account is allowed to charge. (It's been a while since I setup a fresh stripe account)

those events are mostly useful if you're acting as a analytics connect app

tr12 That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing :)

(ie: you're collecting statistics for somebody else's business)

ah, got it

then yes

tr12 I'm calculating a commission anytime a payment is successful

I have a wordpress site running Paid Memberships Pro and the Gateway Environment is set to Live/ Production. I basically want users to be able to come to the site to setup a direct debit for my contracted services. Yes, it's a recently new account.

everything is good on my side, is there something I need to check on stripes side?

Guest11495: have you received any email from stripe?

Ah yeah, in terms of confirmation

and card setup fine

tr12 Any guesses why the events work that way? I would've suspected that "charge.captured" fires in both circumstances

Guest11495: you may want to get in touch with support, then: support.stripe.com/email

kylefox: charge.captured is closer to a special case of "charge.updated" than a separate semantic event

(I personally don't think there are especially many cases where separate charge+capture actually makes sense, but that's just me)

Okay no worries, just thought it would have been a common issue. Thanks for your help anyway

np

Yeah, it would be nice if "charge.captured" was fired even if it's an immediate capture. Ah well. I don't need to agree with the API semantics, as long as I can understand & build against them ;)

Hi Guys, to update you. I found what the issue was. When logged into Stripe, I had a notification to verify my mobile number again. Once I done that, It fixed the issue. Just in case you see that again.

can I create a destination charge with a Standard Connected Account?

The docs seem to suggest it's only available with express and custom

Hello. does anyone know how cancellations work for stripe plans with a trial period? Specifically, if my cancellation logic is set to cancel at period end, and a user cancels before their free trial is up becuase they decided they don't want to be billed or continue the service, how to I verify that they aren't charged?

Hi, I am interested in integrating Bitcoin payments / donations into a Squarespace site and was wondering whether anyone here has any experience with that or has any advice they would be willing to offer. Many thanks.

hopefully easy question: Can customer cancel a Stripe subscription "outside" of my application via Stripe directly? Or would any subscription.deleted events be solely initiated via either myself via the Stripe Dashboard, OR, something I've built into my app? Just trying to understand if subscription.deleted events can occur "outside my knowledge".

(tia)

@soundstruck AFAIK the only way a subscription.deleted event can occur is if a request to delete the sub is sent to the API, OR if you delete it manually from within the dashboard. Anyone trying to forge a request to delete a sub from outside your app would need your secret key

(in order to interact w/ the API that is)

sg27 thanks, that's what I was thinking. Just didn't know if through some other means (like an email link that Stripe sends out if emails get generated for failed payments or whatever), if a customer would be able to cancel directly. I'm getting into the webhooks part of dev, trying to get my arms around the most important events to handle for subs.

I was confused about why I might need a handler for subscripton.deleted, if the cancellation would be initiated from my own app.

@soundstruck I don't think that would be possible, but I'm relatively new to stripe also, so don't quote me. My best advice is, be paranoid just in case

@soundstruck well for example I use subscription.deleted events to determine when a subscription is deleted and to process appropriate business logic for taking away access to things, updating my local database with the timestamp it ended, etc

sg27, but does the customer initiate the cancellation via your app? or you just don't consider it "officially" cancelled until you get the hook back from Stripe?

yes they do, but depending on why they're cancelling it may or may not happen immediately. For example if they are upgrading to a more expensive plan, the current plan is immediately cancelled, they're refunded for the time they didn't use on it, and then the new plan is started

hi

however if they are downgrading or just cancelling all together, then there is no refund and I send the cancellation even with "at_period_end=True"

from the stripe docs: "If you instead cancel a subscription at the end of the billing period, a customer.subscription.updated event is immediately triggered. That event reflects the change in the subscription’s cancel_at_period_end value. When the subscription is actually canceled at the end of the period, a customer.subscription.deleted event then occurs."

so in the event they are canceling at the period end, I don't want to modify their access right then. Instead I leave everything alone, but I have a webhook listener waiting for the subscription.deleted event, and when it gets it, then I update their access

sg27 ah, thanks. Yeah that makes sense. Guess I'm going to have to draft up all these scenarios. My app is pretty simple...2 plans, either annual or monthly. thx for your response. :-)

no problem, check this out ... it might help: https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/canceling...

sg27 ok I'll read through that, thx!

no problem. If you happen to find an answer to my question above along the way. please let me know :)

for reference: "Hello. does anyone know how cancellations work for stripe plans with a trial period? Specifically, if my cancellation logic is set to cancel at period end, and a user cancels before their free trial is up becuase they decided they don't want to be billed or continue the service, how to I verify that they aren't charged?"

sg27 ok will do. yeah, the subscription docs I'm reading don't really touch on cancellation during trial.

I'm just going to give one of my plans a 60 second trial period and see what happens, lol

sg27 I just canceled one of my trialing test subs, and it removed the pending invoice (I used cancel "immediately").
