hi there! I can try to help, what's up exactly?
eternal oak
Hi.. trying to set up stripe terminal for a POS that I'm making for a client. Since I can';t use server integration, I'm using your docs as a guide. Currently, I'm running it with a useEffect hook, but not sure if that is the correct path forward.
flat crypt
you can use guides like https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=js for this integration, and the SDK has a simulated reader to use if you don't have a device itself. (https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect-reader?terminal-sdk-platform=js&reader-type=simulated)
Was there something more specific about the useEffect you were wondering about?
eternal oak
Since everything is currently run off useEffect, I was worried that the physical terminal would be bypassed since I have terminal.collectPaymentMethod and terminalprocessPayment in the same hook.
flat crypt
I'm not sure I follow your concern or how things would be bypassed exactly. Have you already written an integration that seems to work well with the simulated reader?
eternal oak
Running everything seems fine, but, in my payment intent after terminal.processPayment, captured amount reads 0.
flat crypt
hmm I mean that's normal. Did you capture the PaymentIntent?
eternal oak
Yes. Here is a screenshot of the code
flat crypt
https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=js#capture-payment you generally have to manually capture it on the backend after processing, at least by default
eternal oak
I have manual capture in my api
flat crypt
not sure I follow. Nothing in that code is related to capturing a PaymentIntent. It's just connecting to the reader and authorising a charge. It's backend code that creates the PaymentIntent or is involved in capturing it that would be relevant here.
also, please share an example PaymentIntent pi_xxx ID where you're seeing this "captured amount reads 0" and I can have a look!

that is what is logged from your console.log(finalizedPayment) line?
flat crypt
then that's normal then
eternal oak
super.
flat crypt
you haven't captured the PaymentIntent yet
that's why it also tells you status:requires_capture. As covered in https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=js#capture-payment , after authorising the card in the frontend by interacting with the reader, you have to call our API on the backend to capture it.
or you could change the capture_method when you create the PaymentIntent, that's an option as well https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=js#create-payment
eternal oak
I have it set to manual on the backend
flat crypt
makes sense, then until you actually do the manual capture, the amount_captured will be 0 naturally.
let me know if something is unclear!
eternal oak
Thanks. haven't worked much with stripe so I'm being a bit paranoid.
I reallly appreciate your help.
flat crypt
happy to help
