hello! maybe try Checkout Sessions? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout

[fallen aurora]

Is there a way to later retrieve all the Checkout Sessions a user has completed? I.e. their purchases?

[formal harbor]

you can use this API : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list

[fallen aurora]

Is there any way to filter by paid?

Basically, it doesn't seem like the CheckoutSessions object was designed for displaying an "Orders" page, where a customer can see all their previous orders. This seems like a common use-case. Am I missing something?

[formal harbor]

It depends on how your UI / UX is designed

[fallen aurora]

The UX is like a pretty typical ecomm site: A user builds a Cart -> they checkout with that Cart -> later, they want to see their past purchases.

[formal harbor]

if you just want to display a high level detail of the orders first, you can do a search for PaymentIntents -> filter by customer id and status as succeeded

once the user clicks into the specific order, you can pull the specific Checkout Session : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-payment_intent

[fallen aurora]

The PaymentIntent list would also include PaymentIntents associated with Subscriptions too though, right?

[formal harbor]

ah yes

if that doesn't work for you, then you would have to list all Checkout Sessions and do your own filtering

[fallen aurora]

It works, but just seemed like weird UX, given how common the use-case is.

Will there be a successor to the Orders API? That might make this use-case simpler?

[formal harbor]

I don't know of the future plans for that off the top of my head right now, but if you email Stripe Support https://support.stripe.com/contact/email, they should be able to tell you more (if there's any plans)

[fallen aurora]

Last thing -> do you know if you can pass an ID to the line_items.price_data.product_data field when creating a Checkout Session? Like you could with the Orders API?

I'd like to find-or-create a Product when creating a user "Cart"

[formal harbor]

you can pass it in here : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product_data

[fallen aurora]

You can pass an ID?

[formal harbor]

oh, sorry, i misread, you would pass a Product ID here : https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-price_data-product

[fallen aurora]

I mean like this: https://stripe.com/docs/api/orders_v2/create#create_order_v2-line_items-product_data-id

[formal harbor]

hrm, unfortunately not, there's no such parameter when creating the Checkout Session

[fallen aurora]

Hmm, too bad. Do you know why they're getting rid of the Orders API? It seems like it fit my use-case well. Which is very typical ecomm...

Hi @fallen aurora I'm taking over.

[fallen aurora]

Thanks! Any ideas on the above?

[hard trellis]

Is it about orders API?

[fallen aurora]

Yea, do you have access to the previous messages?

[hard trellis]

Yes I can see them.

[fallen aurora]

Any idea on how to model a basic "Cart" and then list a customer's previous purchases? Without the Orders API?

[hard trellis]

I believe Alex has already answered this question. Is there something that you wish to clarify?

[fallen aurora]

Ahhh, I thought when you said you were "taking over", it was because you had some extra domain expertise.

All good. Looks like I'm out of luck here.
