hello !

[thin tusk]

how are you accepting payments? via Checkout?

Hello

[digital dawn]

Thx for the prompt reply,

yeah, creating a checkout session, but there is no user information to the checkout

it's an anyonymous checkout in other words

So i am collecting shipping information but i dont have a hardcore custom implementation for the shipping price

i could always have a cloud function listen for a webhook event and then update the session's shipping options but would that even update the checkout session in real -time ?

i've struggled with this in the past for a client integration and had to collect the user's location prior to initiate the checkout and passing that information to a shipping api to generate a price, and passing that over when creating the session, but the client does not have the funds for this implementation , so i'm looking for a quicker alternative

[thin tusk]

Yeah unfortuantely there's no dynamic shipping rate functionality with Checkout currently

This is all we support: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/during-payment/charge-shipping?payment-ui=checkout&dashboard-or-api=api

You would need at the very minimum your own form to collect shipping address if you want to handle shipping rates dymanically like that

However depending on how complicated your shipping logic is #1126968013044846664 message might just work

[digital dawn]

but lets say i'm on the checkout page,

are there webhooks that i can listen to for adress change on the checkout page ?

and so immediately on change run a callback event ?

[thin tusk]

No

And there's not a way to update the session via api either

[digital dawn]

ahh.. okay

oh , so once it's created you can't modify it's state

?

[thin tusk]

Yeah. See all methods available here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object

You can expire an active one

That's about it

[digital dawn]

Darn , okay

hey i swear i've seen checkout process that look identical to stripe, but that are multi-step and allow adress collection

i know it's not stripe related but maybe you've heard this before ?

[thin tusk]

You can build that yourself with Stripe on your own checkout page

Using the address element and payment element

[digital dawn]

Ok right on so stripe elements would be the quickest secondary option

i really appreciate your help, thanks plenty !

[thin tusk]

Sure thing. You could use the following links:
https://stripe.com/docs/elements/address-element/collect-addresses
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements

[digital dawn]

and this works in checkout session ?

oh, no elements

ok awesone, yes i will look into those

thanks for the links, i will save those right away

[thin tusk]

No problem
