Hi 👋
What's your question?
gaunt onyx
i have question in webhooks
bold moss
Okay, what about webhooks?
gaunt onyx
i am able to catch the event
payment invoice success
once i catch the event i trying to retrive the payment intent by using the payment id from the event response.
then i am getting an error
is it possible?
bold moss
So you are receiving the Event object for an invoice.succeeded event and you want to retrieve the Payment Intent from the API?
This is pretty straightforward. What is the error you are receiving?
gaunt onyx
yes but iam getting the following error
bold moss
Can you share the request ID for the API request that triggers the error?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
gaunt onyx
this is the error msg i am getting in my console
and i required stripe pkg like this
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY)
which makes it global
bold moss
Can you try assigning the STRIPE_SECRET_KEY to a variable and logging that value first?
gaunt onyx
sorry i didn't get you
bold moss
e.g.
const stripeKey = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
ok
but?
this is working
event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(payload, sig, signingsecret)
means my stripe secret key is applying
bold moss
Okay can you share the event ID for the webhook event?
gaunt onyx
ok
bold moss
But essentially you just want to do this: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/retrieve?lang=node right?
bold moss
This is a confirmation request, not a retrieve
gaunt onyx
wait a sec
bold moss
The account logs default to only POST requests. You have to change the filters to see the GET requests
gaunt onyx
ok

Popping in here since snufkin has to head out soon
event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(payload, sig, signingsecret) working does not mean that your secret key is correct - we don't need the secret key at all to do signature verification
gaunt onyx
hi karbi!!
left musk
Did you log the secret key const stripeKey = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY like snufkin mentioned earlier?
left musk
yup i'm here
you're logging this right before your code that's retrieving the Payment Intent right?
gaunt onyx
yes
gaunt onyx
is it correct?
left musk
Can you show me more of your code? I just want to see your full webhook event handler
left musk
I want to see exactly how you're initializing stripe all the way to the request that's failing
left musk
gotcha
gaunt onyx
haa
left musk
and you're absolutely sure that the PaymentIntent retrieve code is what's failing?
gaunt onyx
yes
left musk
Okay can you show me what you get when you add console.log(stripe._api) right before your payment intent retrieval code?
left musk
Yes, that exactly
gaunt onyx

i am getting this
mr.karbi???
left musk
I'm still here - I respond to multiple folks at once so sometimes it just takes a couple of minutes
Yeah so from that output the API key is clearly not being set correctly - if you log process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY right before you initialize stripe do you still get the API key back?
gaunt onyx
yes😢
i am getting undefined
but why?
if i log the same in other files i am able to get the secret key
left musk
Yeah you need to debug that on your end - it really could be any number of things (maybe how your directory is structured, maybe somethign is slightly different about this file, etc)
gaunt onyx
Ok Thank you!
another one..
did you have any references for handling the failed invoice payments ?
left musk
What do you mean by that?
gaunt onyx
like if i get the invoice payement failed event from the webhooks.
after failure what can i do. can i share the same payment url or is there other process?
left musk
You can use the same payment URL, but really there's a ton of different ways to handle this and it'll depend on what you want to do
left musk
We don't have a ton of docs on this but here's what I found:
gaunt onyx
ok
