because I do pass the token.id as tkn in my code so I dont see why there would be that issue for default_source

devguy: you want `source`, not `default_source` there. You can also approach it like this (though I'd double-check the logic): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f448c4b4a6ca0...

i shall test now

appreciate it alot @timebox

worked well

devguy: No problemo. Awesome. :)

also another question for you, if we modify the subscription plan or customer source payment will that automatically recharge the customer upon updating either?

@timebox bump

Sorry, fell off my chair. Reading now.

Tim__: What'd you bump into? Do you need first aid? I'm ... not trained in first aid.

i need someone trained in the art of stripe taxes

[15:41] <Tim__> hmm, how would you suggest showing the customer how much tax they've paid? [15:42] <devguy> 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? [15:42] <Tim__> idk about you, but it seems silly that you can't add tax o

woops

pasted the wrong thing

but i just made you quit so i guess it doenst matter

Ya, but I was just being funny. :P

Well, trying. I'm still not sure if I am or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tim__: So what's up?

idk about you, but it seems silly that you can't add tax on a charge [15:42] <Tim__> does that mean i'm using charges wrong?

Like, in my mind, there should be a way to add tax on a charge

Tim__: You can. You just do `whatYouCharge + taxes = amount`.

You can in Invoices

Tim__: Right, but Charges don't track taxes like that.

and in Subscriptions

hrm

but when the user gets the receipt

it'll have tax just randomly included in the amount

rather than a normal subtotal + tax = total

Tim__: And really, on the Invoice, I'm pretty sure it's just an extra InvoiceItem.

In subscriptions it is not, it is a separate item

so a charge is instant when I call charges.New() right?

Tim__: It's synchronous, yes.

Tim__: What language is that?

Go

the one with the cute gopher but strongly typed so it's kinda a wash

Tim__: That's an excellent assessment.

hey timebox how would i go about using that next function or pulling out that data for customer id and subscription id for use in inserting those values into the database

ill gift

gist

I want to be able to pull out the values for customer id and subscription id without having to actually retrieve them is that possible?

devguy: Well, what's next after you do this stuff? What's your next step? Can you share the whole script that this is sitting in for context?

devguy: `next(error, value)` is sort of the de facto Javascript callback pattern; I assumed you're doing this somewhere that has provided a next function (or where you want to so something ... next, asynchronously, once the Customer and Subscription have been created)

so if I absolutely *needed* to get tax listed on the receipt separately, the only way around it I can think of right now is to create a subscription dynamically for the one-time purchase, subscribe the customer to it with tax, cancel the subscription

or, create my own custom receipt

Tim__: No, you could create an Invoice and Pay it. But I'm not 100% sure it gets listed like that on the receipt in that case?

It does, I am 100% sure of that

ok cool

so just go directly to invoice

and force payment immediately

i wanted to be able to pull out the customer and subscription ids sync so i can insert those values into my own database

Tim__: Oh, it totally does. So create the 'charge' as an InvoiceItem (https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoiceitem) and then create the Invoice with the `tax_percent` (https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_invoice) and then pay it. (https://stripe.com/docs/api#pay_invoice)

Thanks @timebox!

you are a true american hero

devguy: Ok, so you'd replace the `next` with the database insert function call - which presumably will also have a callback, and so in that you'd put whatever's next after that.

alright got to tab a million lines of code now

but this is perfect

I am trying to expand transaction history api to get source transaction field. I added expandList.add("data.source"); expandList.add("data.source.source_transfer");. Can you please tell me how can I get source transaction now? where to loop it?

test time

john___: Sorry, what are you trying to get to exactly?

YAY

okay finally my final final question is if we modify subscription plan from one plan to another will that recharge the card or will only charge on next invoice charge (monthly), also if we modify the source of the customer will that recharge upon updating or will it modify on the next charge?

devguy: By default, next invoice: https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/upgrading...

john___: Expanding `data.source` should get you what you're looking for, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for. :)

alright thats exactly what i need thanks.

i appreciate everything your dev team does. Thanks a bunch

im out for today. before my head explodes

devguy: You're very welcome! Have a good one! :)

Can someone help me figure out why my subscriptions are being created with the "send invoice" option for billing? Basically I want a 15 day trial then the subscription is supposed to bill the credit card attached to the account.

tr0y: Can you write into Support with this one? I have to hit the road, and ... that doesn't seem right: https://support.stripe.com/email/login

Yeah, thanks.

Can someone help me interpret this? I just followed this guide - https://stripe.com/docs/connect/quickstart#expr...

So I made a charge of $10 ... and now my account looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/iK5aSnV.png

ok so theres a 59 cents fee, but why does it say 1 payment for 9.41 and then 1 transfer of 10.00?

What is the transfer? I don't get it

*-10.00

Hi all! I am trying to connect Stripe to my Squarespace account and do recurring payments, but I don't want to pay for a 3rd party. I understand that I can go to the Subscriptions Quickstart page and figure out the API stuff, but I don't know where to inject any of that code.

@confused: isn't that because the platform absorbs the fee? so essentially, your second transaction is sending more money than the first brought in?

uh

i am not a Stripe dev

but I am using Connect for what I work on too

lol k

how did you create the charge

I'm wondering what the negative "transfer" is

was there a destination account for the charge?

stripe.charges.create({

amount: 1000,

currency: "usd",

source: "tok_visa",

destination: {

account: "acct_1BzwxdFbzA3JFTOG",

},

}).then(function (charge) {

// asynchronously called

console.log(charge);

});

yeah

so with a destination charge, Stripe sends the full amount to the platform, and then creates a transfer from the platform to the connected account

so if you always send the full amount to the Connected Accounts, you will always be losing money

because the Stripe fees will not be accounted for. They will come out of your platform
