Hey there

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

Hello

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

Hmm

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

Can you help me with this ?

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

Thinking on whether this is possible

#

There isn't anything that really indicates when a customer closes a Checkout Session

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

Ohh 🙃

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

So there is nothing that will tell you that you should expire the session

#

I think you are best off here just putting a short expiration time on the Session on creation

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:04 PM

#

Wow that a great idea. So we can put expiration time on the created session links ? How can I do so ?

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:05 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-expires_at

#

Minimum is 30 mins however

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

Oh god 🙃 can't reduce that to like 10mins or so ?

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

Not currently, no

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

Okay. And this value would be ? "expires_at": 1673460391,

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

Yep you put a unix timestamp

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

Okay. But how to put it like 30mins from when he/she clicks the link? I can put a unix timestamp from now 30mins

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

Yeah you would need to dynamically calculate that

#

You would use something like Date.now() or some other way to get the current timestamp

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

Okay thank you.

#

And how do I generate a invoice if the payment is successful ? And will the invoice be sent through mail ?

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:18 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-invoice_creation for invoice creation

#

No this invoice won't be sent. You would need to send it yourself

#

Actually that is wrong

#

I think we do send them

#

One sec let me confirm

#

Yep

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/post-payment-invoices

#

We do send them for you, I forgot

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

Wow great! Thank you so much for the help!

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

Sure!

stuck fulcrum Jan 11, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

One last question, where will it be sent ? Can we specify email address to be sent ?

jagged temple Jan 11, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

It will be sent to the email address your customer provides during Checkout, or the one you pre-fill
