Hi 👋

Can you share the request ID for the request to update the Charge?

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

moment

#

thanks

#

I will check it

#

req_kFhb80U5p8XeQO

#

this one plz

#

working on development test mode

#

now

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

Taking a look

#

I see the metadata key: value pair updated in the charge object. What were you expecting to be different?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

#

this is the client side

#

stripe express

#

if the destination client log in stripe express account

#

and check this

#

the description must be updated by the invoice id

#

but just set by default company name

#

I tried to change this description info

#

something is wrong with this?

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

You didn't update the description you updated the metadata

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

sorry

#

did you check the description field of the response

#

I also set param for the description too

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

Not in this API request

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

stripe.charges.update('ch_3MTSzEHSSJFxb6zy0NHwUDxv',
{metadata: {description: shipment.invoiceNo.toString(),
description: shipment.invoiceNo.toString()}}).then((resultCharges)=>{
console.log(resultCharges,'------->>>>------------>>>' );

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

This is the entire payload

{
  metadata: {
    description: "INV-0012A",
  },
}

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

this is my code

#

this is wrong?

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

The description is not being passed in the API request

#

I would recommend saving those values to individual variables and logging them prior to making the API call

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

so you mean I can not set the description content by this charge update api call?

kindred silo Jan 23, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

Yes you can, it's one of the valid parameters: https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update#update_charge-description

#

I'm saying we are not receiving a value for the description in your API call.

#

This is because you need to close the object you are passing for metadata

#

this metadata: {description: shipment.invoiceNo.toString(),, needs to this: metadata: {description: shipment.invoiceNo.toString()},

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

Oh I see

#

let me try again

#

thanks

#

req_1Ue7A88lxsQZxY

#

can you check this request again?

#

still not updated I guess

#

stripe.charges.update('ch_3MTSzEHSSJFxb6zy0NHwUDxv',
{
metadata: {description: shipment.invoiceNo.toString()}
}
).then((resultCharges)=>{
console.log(resultCharges,'------->>>>------------>>>' );
callBack({
success: true,
STATUSCODE: 200,
message: 'Client Secret',
response_data: { client_secret: paymentIntent.client_secret }
});

})

#

here is my code

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

👋 stepping in as Snufkin needed to step away

#

Catching up

#

So that request updates the metadata of the Charge

#

It did successfully perform the update as you can see that key/value was added to the metadata returned in the response

#

Are you trying to just update the description property? Or specifically update metadata to contain a description within metadata?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:37 PM

#

#

I am going to update this description info

#

according to the guide, I can set description param directly or with meta data

#

am I right?

#

this is the destination client stripe express transaction info

#

I want to update it

#

I hope my explanation is clear to you

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 6:41 PM

#

Which guide are you referencing? It sounds like you are talking about updating the description of a payment within a Connected Account

#

Is that correct?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update#update_charge-description

this one

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 6:44 PM

#

Yeah but you are talking about customizing the "Activity" feed of your Connected Accounts like we discuss here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/customize-express-dashboard#set-custom-descriptions correct?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

of course

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

Alright so two things are incorrect then in what you are doing above

#

First, you are updating the original Charge, not the Payment. You need to retrieve the Payment that is the result of the Transfer related to that Charge.

#

So what you want to do is retrieve the Charge that you are currently trying to update (using https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/retrieve) and expand the transfer. destination_payment

#

This will give you the Payment on the Connected Account (which is also a Charge object)

#

Then you update that Charge's description (what you linked above - https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/update#update_charge-description) and pass the Stripe Account header to update the Payment that lives on the Connected Account (see: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication)

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 6:50 PM

#

Thank you

#

let me try based on your guide

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 6:51 PM

#

Sounds good

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

Hello

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

👋

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

I hope nothing is interrupting you

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

Happy to help 🙂

#

What's up

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:25 PM

#

could you guide me in more detail plz...

#

in my backend project, only paymentIntents api call

#

and after this api call, all the transactions are done

#

but can not find any code for this

#

how could I get the current charge id, after calling stripe.paymentIntents

#

I just tried to call this api

#

stripe.transfers.list({
limit: 3
})

#

and can not get the current transaction charge id

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:27 PM

#

When you retrieve a PaymentIntent it will contain the latest_charge: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-latest_charge

#

Or, if you are on an older API version you should see a charges property

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

oh excellent

#

and second step I call https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/retrieve

Stripe API reference – Retrieve a charge – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

this api based on the latest_charge id

#

right?

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

Yep

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

and check transfer. destination _payment

#

?

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

Exactly

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

thx

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

You can actually just do this straight from the PaymentIntent retrieval

#

Using expand

#

So you would expand latest_charge.transfer.destination_payment

#

Then you don't need multiple API calls

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

Excellent!

#

#

it seems I have null value

#

from the latest_charge

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Can you provide me the PaymentIntent ID you are retrieving?

#

And do you know what API Version you are using?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:39 PM

#

Yup

#

thanks moment

#

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

Yep okay that's why

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

this is the version

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

So on that API version you have the charges property

#

Are you creating a new project?

#

I'd recommend just upgrading your API Version to the latest if you don't have a production integration already running

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:42 PM

#

sorry now I have production integration already running

radiant shoal Jan 23, 2023, 7:42 PM

#

Oh that's fine

#

Then you want charges.data[0] not latest_charge

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

ok

#

#

undefined

#

am I wrong?

#

should I get this, from retrieve list api call?

vital ermine Jan 23, 2023, 7:50 PM

#

That code snippet appears to be following a payment intent create call

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:52 PM

#

!?

#

so it means I can not get the current transaction charge id by payment intent create call api?

vital ermine Jan 23, 2023, 7:55 PM

#

You can, if the payment is confirmed during creation. In the requests you're making it does not appear than you're confirming the payment intents so there is not yet a charge where you expect one.
eg: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_cxXb28LHyecgZK

Stripe Login | Sign in to the Stripe Dashboard

Sign in to the Stripe Dashboard to manage business payments and operations in your account. Manage payments and refunds, respond to disputes and more.

#

So you either need to do this later once the payment is complete, or you can change this test to confirm during creation with confirm=true

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

thanks

#

after payment is completed, how could I get current charge id?

#

I can not call paymentIntents create api call again

vital ermine Jan 23, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

How are you completing these payments?

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

in the current backend project only stripe.paymentIntents.create api call is existing

#

on other transfer or charges api calls

#

but all the transactions are done auto

#

I want to customize the descriptions for destination client0side

#

client-side

#

I am advised to follow this guide

#

face issues on proceed it

vital ermine Jan 23, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

Yes, you'll need to do that once you get the charge ID from the payment intent

#

For payments completed async, you could for example listen to payment_intent.succeeded webhooks and use that to kick off your update process

spiral cove Jan 23, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

Thanks

#

is there a sample or guide for webhooks in the stripe guide?

#

I am new to it

vital ermine Jan 23, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

There is, yes, just a sec
