Hello 👋
Not sure I completely follow the ask here. Can you share an example that you're looking at so that we're on the same page?

[regal raptor]

umm do you want the JSON response or what?

im using java

https://javadoc.io/doc/com.stripe/stripe-java/latest/com/stripe/model/PaymentIntent.html

it has a status

getStatus could be successful

if that is so there is also a getAmountReceived for a PaymentIntent that was a charge

thats what i do, a PaymentIntent with a charge

an then there is a charge id and a charge object

getLatestChargeObject()

and that has a bunch of info in it too

so what im asking is if you have to evaluate that as well to be sure the charge is "good"

[river basin]

You can share the PaymentIntent ID

should start with pi_xxxx

[regal raptor]

ok this is test mode is that a problem?

[river basin]

No, that should be fine.

pi_3MBqLCC8CmvaZfLJ1mD1ZlhP

it has amount 500

and status succeeded

but it has lots of other stuff

[river basin]

right, so what's your end goal here?

[regal raptor]

im going to add the paymentIntent's amount to the users account

and i want to be sure it went through

so what im asking is if the paymentintent has Amount, if the status is "succeeded" then the amount is valid ? or do i have to check other things

im sorry if i am being confusing

[river basin]

Gotcha. So instead of polling the API and looking at the status, what you want is to build a webhook endpoint.
https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

This allows you to receive events when things happen with the Payment.
For example, You'd receive an event payment_intent.succeeded on your server once it succeeds rather than you polling the API to retrieve its status

[regal raptor]

well im already doing that

and i am getting the payment intent on the event payment_intent.succeeded, but its a big JSON object with lots of information

[river basin]

Ah okay, then that should be enough to tell if the payment was successful

Typically folks rely on just the status but you can also double check the amount if you find that necessary

[regal raptor]

ok, maybe let me ask another way

is there a test card that will generate a payment_intent.succeeded event but the charge didnt go through, like i wanted 1000 USD but the charge didnt go through

or something

i just want to avoid making a dumb mistake if someone is a bad actor or makes a normal mistake but i take the hit

or are you saying that IFF i get payment_intent.succeeded the card is good, the charge is good, all is good

[river basin]

or are you saying that IFF i get payment_intent.succeeded the card is good, the charge is good, all is good
Yup

[regal raptor]

ok

thank you

[river basin]

NP! 🙂 Glad I could help
