hello! how long will it take till the item is ready to ship approximately? Will it be less than a week?

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 7:23 AM

#

Rarely it can take over 30 days, but for the most part within 10 days is the majority, maybe less.

you'll want to collect the PaymentMethod first, then charge it later then : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Set up future payments

So I actually already implemented SetupIntents from this link..
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements

Is it best practice to wait to initiate the PaymentIntent until you're ready to process the payment?

yep

#

Alright, last question. What is the timeframe where just starting off with paymentIntent would be best

rose falcon Jul 13, 2023, 7:37 AM

#

if you're collecting payment immediately

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 7:41 AM

#

Ok. I'm attempting to use "Link" for auth, just struggling a bit with how to best sync the Link state to maybe a context / local storage state, to influence other parts of my app that are beyond the checkout. What endpoint is best for collecting the non PCI concerned data / states for a user provided by Link?

Example = Ideally my eStore prices would reflect the credentialed users existing payment method. If a CC, +2.9%, if ACH, max $5 extra

rose falcon Jul 13, 2023, 7:47 AM

#

i'm not sure how this relates to Link though and what you mean by using Link for auth

#

can you elaborate a bit more on what you're trying to do?

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 7:51 AM

#

Yea so a shopping-cart / ecommerce customer has thousands of products. Some people are returning customers, some are new, some have no card saved, some have a CC saved, some have an ACH payment method saved. Some need shipping recalculated with their shipping-address provided.. I

Link seems to know the answers to all of the paragraph above w/ what data it stores. Ideally I could tap into this state / context to code app behavior, such as reduced product prices, if a valid ACH is on file. Also its important to establish the auth logic for my system as well, beyond just link

I looked at Element onChange approach, just curious if beyond that, I could call some centralized Stripe API resource, and have it give me back the clients link state / other details useful

#

I solved for Address, Email, last main how-2 would be where can I access the authenticated Link users payment method insight (dont need secure values, just boolean states to inform me of a basic user state)

#

Sorry, struggling to understand what you're asking for here. Specifically what data?

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:06 AM

#

Link Data. New or existing profile w/ Link? Payment setup w/ Link yet or not? CC or ACH? Payment Cards, Billing Address, Shipping Address

#

Just like if you were building auth w/ login, the purpose is to enable dynamic content

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:08 AM

#

Link profiles aren't available via the API if that's what you're asking (sorry, still unclear you just listed a bunch of terms)

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:09 AM

#

So how can I sync the app state between Link and me? Can I access Link PaymentMethods via the PaymentMethods Stripe API?

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:10 AM

#

Only those that were saved/attached to a Customer object on your merchant account

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:10 AM

#

Ok, and that happens automatically once I have Link elements configured w/ my checkout assuming they click the checkbox to enable it?

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:13 AM

#

I'm not sure, you'd need to check. I know that would save the payment method to their Link profile, which is a Stripe network concept that you can't access as a merchant

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:16 AM

#

Yea, just looking to learn / determine 'best practices' when it comes to syncing states (my auth with links auth). Not having auth outside of link isn't an option for me

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:22 AM

#

Hmmm, you're dependent then on your users actually wanting to use Link

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:24 AM

#

This all started based on me having the same exact idea as Link (to setup a very very light auth, that just used an email address as primary key to associate users who checkout w/ their orders, past, and pending.

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

Yeah, but you can't force your customers to opt-in to Link

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

No, but I can require a valid & unique email, which is all i'm doing

#

I was planning to use the email to feed my auth. I can get their email value w/ the onChange n add some magic, I just am going to need the abiltity to access their PaymentMethods (true / false? CC or ACH?)

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

As stated, you can't access payment methods from the Link network

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

"Only those that were saved/attached to a Customer object on your merchant account" - this is what I need

toxic onyx Jul 13, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

Ok, then what is the question?

vernal raven Jul 13, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

You answered it. Unless you had more insight around the topic
