Hey there

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

Hey Bismarck, just to catch you up, I'm trying to create an automatic email reply upon payment success

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

Gotcha

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

Still fairly new to all of this so bear with me please 🙂

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

No worries

#

What are you going to use to send the email?

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

I just want stripe to send an email receipt, if possible

#

I'm using checkout sessions

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

Oh you don't need to use Webhooks for that.

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

oh lol

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

You just flip the toggle in your Dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/emails

#

For "Email customers about Successful payments"

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

that's all? no configuration in checkout_sessions?

#

I thought based on my last exchange that I had to somehow pass the email

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:00 PM

#

Are you passing a Customer to your Checkout Session Creation?

#

Or setting customer_creation: always?

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:00 PM

#

the screenshot is in my original thread, you can see what I pass in there

#

I don't think so though

#

this is what I'm passing

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:01 PM

#

fleet lily Or setting `customer_creation: always`?

would adding that on say, line 46 suffice?

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

Ah actually I don't even think you need to do that for Checkout

#

Never mind, forgot we pre-fill the receipt_email automatically

#

See: https://stripe.com/docs/receipts#automatically-send-receipts-when-payments-are-successful

#

So yeah, all you need to do is have that Dashboard setting turned on

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

Damn lol, that's fantastic

#

would've saved me a few hours of docs diving haha

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

🙂

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

does this fire in test mode as well?

#

if I want to make sure it's sent properly

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

No

#

We don't send receipts in email so as not to spam people

#

You can trigger one manually from the Dashboard to see what it would look like

#

But we don't automatically send them

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

where would that be specifically?

#

i'm in my dashboard rn

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

Just click on a Successful PaymentIntent

#

Then scroll down to Receipt History

#

And click "Send receipt" or "View receipt"

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

I see! fantastic

#

I have one more question before I let you go, just one sec please

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

No rush

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

at the moment, when payments are made, the description seems to be the payment session key (I'm assuming). Would you mind telling me where in the docs I should look to configure this?

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:10 PM

#

You can set the Description via payment_intent_data.description: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-description

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:10 PM

#

wicked, thank you so much! you've been very helpful 🙂

#

have a great day!

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:12 PM

#

You too!

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

Oh sorry one more thing

#

The client I'm making this site for previously had their payment descriptions include the order number (see screenshot), how can I retrieve the payment number?

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:23 PM

#

That order number is being generated by you, no?

#

Like we don't generate an order number for you

#

If this is a new integration, then you need to create the order number from your end

#

Then you pass it to the Description param that I noted above

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

I'm not sure how they had it previously, but I believe it was some sort of wix integration or something. So stripe doesn't hold data about the total number of successful payments made?

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

We don't provide an order number for you, no. You likely want to generate a UUID.

#

You can certainly retrieve the amount of successful payments as well, but that isn't really what you should use for an Order number

#

As then you could have duplicate order numbers occur

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:26 PM

#

what about something like data.created ?

#

from the event data

#

#

Is this related to time?

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:30 PM

#

Yes that is the UNIX timestamp

#

I'd recommend taking a look at something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/105034/how-do-i-create-a-guid-uuid

#

And using something in there

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:33 PM

#

fleet lily You can certainly retrieve the amount of successful payments as well, but that i...

How could you go about doing this? I'm thinking of maybe combining UUID + amount of successful payments

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

Why combine them?

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

Well just like, a description of My order #${orderNumber} - ${UUID}

#

The client just requested that the description follow their old system if possible

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

Oh okay, well really the way to handle the amount of successful payments is to store this data in your own Database

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

ah forget it then lol

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

Otherwise you are going to have to list your charges every time and paginate

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

yeah no that sounds like a pain

fleet lily Oct 14, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

Yeah I really wouldn't recommend doing that

minor edge Oct 14, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

ok cool

#

Will probably look into a UUID package on npm
