#stripe

@webpacker_guy try adding the other stripe script which is <script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"><...;

before the checkout.js

hmm I think they're separate though right? My previous implementation (no webpack) of checkout.js works without stripe.js

maybe try this https://github.com/stripe

maybe your solution is there if you find the repository you are using and then at the top of github should be a tab called errors and maybe a solution is there

Hey guys, wondering if I could get some high level pointers here.

In my e-commerce app where I display 3rd party content, I have users who belong to an organization. Each organization has an admin who would come into my webapp's administration page and set up payment info. Normal users just pick stuff and click checkout.

When users checkout, I (obviously) need to charge the organization and send the money to the item supplier(s). I don't own the items, I'm just displaying third party content. So the payment isn't going to myself.

also sorry for the spacing lol

Oh I pasted it twice, my bad

what the

I dont know why it keeps pasting, really sorry about that

what language is your app in?

backend Java, but I was prototyping in nodejs

frontend is standard js webapp

I'm more wondering about a high level approach. Getting lost in the docs between account types, accounts vs connected accounts, etc

Does Stripe handle sending payments?

I need to use stripe connect somehow pretty sure

if youre using node js you need to install stripe

yeah I've already played around the API

did you do require(stripe)?

Yes, I can hit the api with node. It works fine.

and in your package.json as well you have provided the version?

ok

hey, I was wondering when doing a destination charge, what if the amount i send depends on the Stripe processing fee? How can I determine it before making the charge?

stripe.charge @webpacker_guy

@webpacker_guy not sure if this is what you need but here https://stripe.com/docs/api#charge_object

@devguy thanks, it was more of a general question for @stripeQuestions

hope the devs come back soon. need some stuff answered too lol

@devguy checkout the use cases for https://stripe.com/connect

Pretty sure its possible

yeah that looks like what you would need

This guide seems pretty solid:

Thanks I'll take a look, thats probably for a use case where I own the items though. i.e. not using connect

hmmm maybe that is what I want actually

Right, although I think they mention handling an e-commerce platform that sells via third parties

you can check shopify as well not sure if thats what youd need though

@glen you should save your question for when the devs come, not sure if anyone can answer that except the devs

yeah seems like they're offline. I'm out too

Good luck with your Stripe questions y'all

thanks

hope some devs come back when they can

Hello! How do I go about adding taxes on a charge? I didn't see anything about it in these docs: https://stripe.com/docs/charges and it's not listed under ChargeParams

@Tim i think you need https://stripe.com/docs/api#invoice_object

charge id is the invoice object invoice has the tax param

Hmm but it was my understanding charges were instant

so if I create a charge it will immediately be processed and i can't go in and edit an invoice_object

not sure but i think you can attach a charge to an invoice and modify the tax there

Tim__: You need to just add it in yourself, and include it in the `amount`.

@timebox alrighty

thanks guys

hey @timebox been waiting for a dev

devguy: But ... aren't ... you a dev, guy?

no

LOL

(Unfortunately you've got me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

devguy: What's up?

having issue with missing required param: customer when my code is as follows

var customer; var customerid; var subscription; var subscriptionid; if (pk == 0) { customer = stripe.customers.create({ email: email }).then(function (customer) { customerid = customer.id; }); subscription = stripe.subscriptions.create({ customer: customerid, items: [{ plan: "plan_CJQkkePX5SaoWd" }] }).then(function (subscription) { subscriptionid

let me shorten that sorry

beautiful

haha

gist.github.com buddy, or pastebin it, or hastebin it

hi

a couple of quick questions around api versionsing

hello

versioning*

hi Tim__

is it possible to force a *new* stripe account to use an old version of the api?

the reason i say this, is that our production version uses an older API, and I wanna create a new one for QA, and I would like to stay on that api version

as it looks like there are some breaking changes

which i want to ship separately, as an API upgrade change later

@timebox are you knowledgable on stripe connect?

devguy: Can you put it in a gist/pastebin?

Ya, what TIm__ said. :)

suchit: You can set the API version per-script or per-api-call: https://stripe.com/docs/api#versioning Or you can write into Support ( https://support.stripe.com/email/login ) and ask them to downgrade your test account's API version.

ok that sounds perfect, thanks a lot

that makes my second question redundant for now,

so I will focus on that for now

thanks a lot again, @timebox. you'r a lifesaver!

suchit: You're welcome! :)

@timebox This might be too vague but I had a general question - https://pastebin.com/x2xTVxDi

nvm i figured that part out was an error on my part. will ask when i need again.

If you have a partyA and partyB connected on your platform with stripe connect, which API can be used to have partyA pay partyB

timebox: is there a way to force webhook versions as well?

stripeQuestions: Hi! So ... your best bet here is to reach out to Support and explain the business case and see what they think, but I'd be tempted to consider Standard accounts, rather than Custom/Express, depending on what kind of organizations the supplier(s) are. But Support are the experts on that kind of stuff: https://support.stripe.com/email/login

suchit: Unfortunately no; that'll always be your Account's version. So I'd write into Support on this one and see if they can downgrade your version. Best bet is to log into the (test) Account you want downgraded and then write in via the support form: https://support.stripe.com/email/login

gotcha, thanks! :)

@timebox Thanks!

okay i do have a question now

hey! is there any way for me to tell how much the fees are going to be before i create a charge? I want to create a destination charge, but the split depends on the fees

glen_: Yes: https://support.stripe.com/questions/can-i-char...

@timebox does creating a charge create a receipt that is sent to the customer?

I hope this one is easy to say "you're doing this wrong": If I try to save a test card on my iOS device via "self.paymentContext.pushPaymentMethodsViewController" (i.e. the standard Stripe iOS payment methods view controller), I'm getting a "No such token: tok_1Bz...." error. I thought I was setting up my paymentContext correctly. What might cause this to happen?

Tim__: If you've got email receipts enabled, and it's in live mode, yes.

hmm, how would you suggest showing the customer how much tax they've paid?

while doing the customer = stripe.customers.create({}).then(function (customer) {}); the then function is not firing. Is this due to the fact that I have the customer object initialized as a blank variable outside before firing the stripe.customers.create?

idk about you, but it seems silly that you can't add tax on a charge

does that mean i'm using charges wrong?

dautermann: No such token usually means mismatched API keys - probably different Stripe Accounts, unless the error also includes something about live vs test.

thanks @timebox. However, doesn't the actual rate depend on the payment method as well? Isn't the link you sent me only true for cards?

no... it just says "No such token". I'm definitely creating ephemeral keys earlier, so I didn't think my API keys were mismatched. I'll go check.

glen_: Yes, but you'd need to know your rates, and factor that in from the information available in the Token.

for my problem i have var customer; if(blah) customer = stripe.customers.create({}).then(function(customer){});

ill do a gist

What is the "platform"? as apposed to stripe?

stripeQuestions: lolwut

Looking at these different account types - https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

"User support provided by Platform and Stripe"

devguy: Ok, what is your question?

Is "platform" my app/backend?

stripeQuestions: Platform is your Stripe Account.

devguy: And you most likely don't want to be assigning i.e. `stripe.customers.create()` to a return value, because it's asynchronous, so unless you're also returning the `customer` Promise somewhere to then use later in another `.then()`, it's not gonna do what you want it to.

devguy: Oh.

devguy: Ok, so the issue here is you're creating the Customer and Subscription at the same time. You need to move all the subscription creation code into the `then()` function for customer creation.

it shall be done. i will test again

devguy: Did what I said make sense? Do you know what I mean?

that was it @timebox! there was another api key hiding in the code.... thanks!

yes I understand but now token error says No such source: tok_

gist is updated as well

would the error saying no such source: tok_ be because the actual address is not real or the card was a test card. though I am in test mode as well.

or is it possible that the error is caused because I already have a payment from the same email but different card?
