Hello 👋
Are these services subscription based or just one-off purchases?

cedar sierra Dec 21, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

both 😅

#

I offer time based purchases for a higher fee, and subscriptions for savings

#

Ah okay! I don't think we have a single API endpoint which would return such information. One option would be to build a webhook endpoint and track the purchases in your own database (for new checkouts)

However for old purchases, you'd need to use the APIs to retrieve and backfill the data

Indeed... I guess focusing on the customer object and working early is clouding my creativity 😂

Whether it's one time or subscription, all money moves through the charges API eh?

#

And if they've tried and failed to purchase (and never came back) they'd only have payment intents?

#

Brain waking up a lil here on that 'no single api' comment bahaha

#

Would this logic check out you think?

Call the List all charges API function for each DB record I'm considering purging, if nothing is returned, good to delete? I don't really care about failed intents

Charges API is the older API. PaymentIntents API is the newer one that's mostly used for all payments (it does create a charge underneath though).

You can list all charges by PaymentIntents to see all their successful/failed charges

more specifically if the data [] array is empty but yea

brave cradle Dec 21, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

yup, makes sense. You can list all charges by customer too (if you only care about if there's a charge or not)

cedar sierra Dec 21, 2022, 3:00 PM

#

indeed!

#
