Hi, what's the question?

#

I am using django and i am making a custom function to retry when something is wrong in db, but i make my payment in the middle of the retry function and thats up to my business logic
So i need help if there are any ways to prevent multiple payment in stripe ?

How are you making your payments?

#

using payment intents i am making a cron job to check my renewal date and if it is expire it get this package and repay then i use my db to save some balances

#

It's best to use webhooks to check that the payment is successful, and then do the business logic: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

yes but i cant change that now

#

i just need to know if there is a way to prevent retries on payment

You could make use of idempotency keys: https://stripe.com/docs/api/idempotent_requests

#

is that means i can make a unique key in my side and send it when paying ?

#

Yes

#

However, it's only a short term solution. You should confirm payments and execute business logic separately, as sometimes the payments take longer to succeed.
