Umm that shouldn't happen. Can you clarify which example code or step you follow?
fickle veldt
the very last step is "stripe apps start"
when i do that..
and then i hit enter. to get to this page
Only way I can get it to work seems to be by "stripe app upload" and then installing it
analog pond
Can you double check you are login with the Stripe CLI?
I don't see the same thing
stripe apps start gives me this
fickle veldt
ok let me see
I did stripe login on the terminal and followed the steps on the browser.
so I am logged in
is there a different way to login?
analog pond
Um that's the only way. And you sure you are logging in in the same browser?
logging in Stripe Dashboard
fickle veldt
yes all on the same one
I just cleared all cookies and retried
same outcome
updated stripe-cli to latest also
fickle veldt
yes
is there a separate stripe account id for test vs. prod?
or do I need to onboard my account for "apps"?
i am clearing everything and restarting..
analog pond
No it should be one stripe account
fickle veldt
no no luck restarting
analog pond
Do you happen to have another account to try?
fickle veldt
I dont have another account
wait... I just realized - this doesnot work with Safari.
it pays to read the instructions.
analog pond
Chrome worked?
analog pond
Glad you found out! It caught me off guard too 😅
fickle veldt
thank you
and sorry again for wasting your time
while you are here- the docs suggest that its possible to have a backend only app - but there doesnt seem to be a way to create one. So is that accurate statement?
analog pond
I think you refer to this one? https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/build-backend
fickle veldt
yes. This however says we can have a backend only app. https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/how-stripe-apps-work#backend-only-applications
unclear on how the authentication works in this case.
analog pond
Your URL has a link to my URL above, and it has a section of "Send a sign request" for authentication
fickle veldt
the "sending a signed request" originates from a front end application. that may mean we have to have a simple front end to initiate this. Is there a way to send a signed request for a pure backend only app?
fickle veldt
thanks
no rush.. I was able to get a full stack app going using the examples.. just wondering if it was possible to skip the front end entirely.
analog pond
Hi, I am not sure too. I think it should be possible if you can perform the authentication step without the UI extensions
from this guide #1091226087528353883 message
You probably want to write in Support and we can look at it further on the email thread, if you need. For now I would recommend the regular flow with the UI extensions
