tyson - payment link subscription webhooks

[torn bough]

👋 happy to help

you can choose to create the customer only if_required https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/object#payment_link_object-customer_creation

but unfortunately it's not really possible to pass down a Customer from a Payment Link to a Checkout Session

[novel perch]

Could it be done by updating the checkout session somehow?\

]

[torn bough]

No you'd have to create a new Payment Link

[novel perch]

For each customer?

[torn bough]

oh sorry my bad, I confused you with another Payment Links thread

🤦

if you know the customer ahead of time, then Payment Links isn't the right solution for you

you should instead use Checkout Sessions and create one each time for each customer

[novel perch]

could transfer_data, with the customer id sort it out

basically, checkout sessions create a bud on the software i am using

so i can use them

[sudden dock]

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

[novel perch]

yes!

[sudden dock]

Could you please provide more details on what you want to achieve ?

transfer_data is used for creating destination charges for one of your Connected Accounts

If you want to make a Checkout Session exclusive to one customer, you need to use Stripe Checkout Sessions and set the customerId:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

[sudden dock]

Do you mean bug here? if so is that something that we (Stripe) could help you solve it ?

[novel perch]

I am an unrelated question from earlier i solved it! But with the payment links, how to i ret the return url?

as the after completion para = return )how do i set that return URL?

[sudden dock]

You can set a return url in the after_completion.redirect.url
https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-after_completion-redirect-url

and set after_completion.type=redirect
https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-after_completion-type

[novel perch]

Sweet!

Is there a way of adding all the activity of my connect accounts into my app?

Basically i am i have to use payment links, and i am trying to tell my app when a subscription is complete could i get this info?

about quanity of subscripons left?

ect

[sudden dock]

Not sure I'm understanding all of your questions

[sudden dock]

You can track the PaymentLinks using webhooks:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links/api#tracking-payments

[novel perch]

I need to have a GET API request so i can amend the amount of subcriptions after purchase within my app

[sudden dock]

Bit of a broad question!

[novel perch]

is that possible?

[sudden dock]

You can list all your Subscription and calculate the total amount:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/list
But there isn't a direct API

[novel perch]

Workflow i need = payment via payment link -> back to app -> stripe data to app = changes available value

[sudden dock]

You need to track the payment using webhooks then

[novel perch]

What key should i use to get the quanity of products left?

[sudden dock]

I don't know this tool, what do you want to achieve ?

What do you mean by "i use to get the quanity of products left?" ?

stripe data to app = changes available value
If you're using Payment Links, this would be best facilitated by listening to checkout.session.completed webhooks to perform any fulfillment you need to do in your system following a successful new subscription:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/fulfill-orders#create-event-handler

This might involve tracking any "stock" or capacity however you do that in your system

In an after completion payment link, can i get stripe to send my app an api request to change quantity of product. using my own webhooks and secret keyss

[marsh beacon]

You can subscribe to our webhooks (as in that doc) and do whatever you need to do from there in your endpoint handler when you get a notification
