So looks like you're passing an undefined variable to the retrieve checkout session endpoint. That expects a checkout session id as a string

I recommend adding console log statements to trace why that variable is undefined

[modern spade]

Would this be the checkout session endpoint?

[tame tendon]

Yup that first await call

So that means req.query.session_id is undefined

When that success page loads after completing the checkout session, what does the query string in the url look like?

[modern spade]

Wait I think i'm understanding, after success, I get the query parameter in my address :

but I have to send that (being the parameter) to the back end in my request for the customer info right?

[tame tendon]

Yep you got it

So looks like session_id is there

So you need to figure out why req.query.session_id isn't grabbing that session id

First, log that with a console log statement

Do you get undefined?

[modern spade]

I didnt put anything in the body of the request because i thought ....magic lol

Yes i got undefined

[tame tendon]

Interesting. And you see session_id in the query string?

[modern spade]

This could also be due to the fact that im just refreshing the page, I could try going throughout the whole checkout flow again

Hello 👋
Stepping in as codename_duchess needs to step away
Yeah I'd recommend trying that, as well as console logging req.query and see the printed value

[modern spade]

Could I just use useParams from react router to grab the parameter from the address, and then send it in the body of my request to my backend?

[icy ledge]

You can yes! as long as the value is part of the query params, you can do anything with it 🙂
