Hey @smoky falcon let's talk here

#

sorry, I deleted your messages but the thing that creates the thread didn't work

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

$result = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
'payment_method_types' => ['card'],
'line_items' => [[

   'price_data' => [
      'currency' => strtolower($pay['currency']),
      'product_data' => [
        'name' => $pay['name'],
        'description' => $pay['product'],
        ],
      'unit_amount' => $pay['amount'],
    ],
    'quantity' => 1,
  ]],
  'mode' => 'payment',
  'client_reference_id' => SERVICE,
  'success_url' => $url,
  'cancel_url' => LIVE_URL.'/accounts',
  'customer_email'=>$pay['email'],
  'payment_intent_data'=>['description' => $pay['product'],'metadata' => ['user_id'=>$pay['user_id']]],
]);

#

So step 1, what do you call "show on the statement"? What's a statement?

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 12:54 PM

#

What shows up on "payments" dashboard

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

I don't know what that means either sorry, please be more specific.

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

#

I want "Manual Payment" descriptor

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

Okay so that's the description in that case. So it'd be 'payment_intent_data'=>['description' => $pay['product'],'metadata'

#

that first param

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

does not work

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

'payment_intent_data'=>[
  'description' => 'is koopajah correct?',
  'metadata' => [
    'user_id'=>$pay['user_id'],
  ]
],

#

try that ^

#

I'll test in parallel

#

yep just tested and it works.

#

My guess is that your $pay['product'] was an empty string/undefined. But with my example it will show

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

OK - that worked - I must have not saved before testing that option

#

What about the customer email?

#

Altho owner email should be ok - since I preload that

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

Can you clarify your exact question? What did you look at, what's not working

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

#

customer email is provided

#

is it because of test mode?

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:02 PM

#

I don't know yet, that's a picture with no context. Can you please provide detailed information for me to look at this?
Exact Checkout Session id and PaymentIntent id especially

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:04 PM

#

can you view this https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payments/pi_3MEuWrE77ALf5wkc13i4kFLf

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

that PaymentIntent has no Customer associated with it. It's a one-time/ad-hoc payment, so there's no customer information associated with it in this case

#

I don't know much about the big yellow banner here, my team doesn't really touch the Dashboard so I can't speak to what that does in Live mode/production unfortunately

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

OK .. that is confusing .. given checkout has a FIELD called "customer_email"

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

yeah that's fair

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:07 PM

#

Anyhow I placed email in metadata

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

👍

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:09 PM

#

LASTLY .. I saw various "version" related comments .. how do I know what VERSION I am on ??

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

It depends on a few things. You can see the default API version for your account here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/developers (bottom left in the API version section)
But your code/integration can use a different API version so that's also up to your own code and it's always best for the code to ask for the exact version you want instead of relying on the account's default

#

looking at the logs you shared, you are on the latest API version right now 2022-11-15

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

You are running the current version of the API, 2022-11-15. ...

#

Is that good ? Seems very recent

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

that's the most recent yes!

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

OK great

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:12 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/upgrades#api-versions lists all our API versions and yours is the most recent that we released last month

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

How does that relate to my vendor/stripe version - which was installed 7/2022

#

for my server / php

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

it doesn't. Our PHP library supports any

#

any API version

#

So really your code is likely not doing what we call "version pinning" and just using whatever is the default on your account.
It's dangerous because in a year we might release a breaking change, and your code works fine still, but then you click the button to change the default API version without realizing it could break your code

#

so what we recommend is to "pin your API version" explicitly in the code as documented in https://stripe.com/docs/api/versioning instead

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

Exactly !!

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:16 PM

#

that way if someone on your team thinks "oh a new version let me get that one" and clicks on that button, your code still works because you tell our API "hey I'm using version X for this request please"

#

and then later when you/your devs are ready, they can change your code to pin to a more recent version

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

Hold on - I dont see how to "pin" the version from that link - I got caught out by this before

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:18 PM

#

  "api_key" => "sk_test_your_key",
  "stripe_version" => "2022-11-15"
]);```

#

that's what I see on that doc I shared

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

this what you mean?

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:19 PM

#

you just leaked your API key, please roll it asap: https://stripe.com/docs/keys#rolling-keys

#

but yes

#

that creates a Stripe Client in your code pinned to that specific version and then your code uses that specific client with the right version

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:21 PM

#

OK - will check that - thanks again for your help - you guys must be busy - cos Stripe Docs are terrible 😆 😆 😆

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

Hmmm I mean I understand the frustration but you started by saying nothing worked when really it did just work :p

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

One last thing

#

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey($secret_key);
\Stripe\Stripe::setClientId($client_id);

#

How does one set version using this method to init

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:22 PM

#

I highly recommend moving away from this old approach entirely. Read https://github.com/stripe/stripe-php/wiki/Migration-to-StripeClient-and-services-in-7.33.0

#

but you can do // Set a global API version \Stripe\Stripe::setApiVersion('2022-08-01'); instead (mentioned in that doc)

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

Honestly I don't like this method either - but somehow I got started on it 😆

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

yeah but migrating is fairly straightforward so I'd recommend making the switch now

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

I will change to this $stripe = new \Stripe\StripeClient(STRIPE_SECRET); later

#

Also I couldn't find this simple migration in your DOCS

#

And yes trying to match the old syntax to new examples is almost impossible 😂

feral wraith Dec 14, 2022, 1:25 PM

#

each library has its own wiki specific to the library and its migration over time

smoky falcon Dec 14, 2022, 1:28 PM

#

Sure thing - but still - your docs do a very poor job of tying things together

#

I will look to upgrade in future tho

#

Thanks again and have a good day 👍
