👋 how may I help?

#

you can use Checkout Sessions or Invoices

#

then you can use Invoices

#

you can use PaymentIntents, but they only provide a way of passing an amount, and not a product ID. you can then add some metadata if you want

#

to identify which product/service the payment was made for

Yes. You can use the unit_amount

plucky yarrow May 10, 2023, 10:07 AM

#

what its the difference between unit_amount and the unit_amount_decimal?

#

?

bitter forum May 10, 2023, 10:15 AM

#

unit_amount_decimal allows you to specify cents as decimal values: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-unit_amount_decimal

#

what i want to know is which one should i use then charding , because if the amount specifie on the product is decimal the unit_amount will have an incorrect value since its an integer or not?

#

that is what i want to confirm

bitter forum May 10, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

You should use unit_amount in most cases. if you want to charge $100, set unit_amount: 10000.

plucky yarrow May 10, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

the products are created via stripe dashboard

#

thats why im trying to confirm which property should i use

plucky yarrow May 10, 2023, 10:24 AM

#

lyric remnant May 10, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand what is the main issue you are facing ?

#

You want to use what attribute ?

plucky yarrow May 10, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

its not an issue im just trying to understand which atribute i can rely on the create a charge based on the product value of stripe
unit_amount or the unit_amount_decimal

lyric remnant May 10, 2023, 10:41 AM

#

use unit_amount: A non-negative integer in cents representing how much to charge.

plucky yarrow May 10, 2023, 10:42 AM
