and this include paymentintent_object_id
If you have the id, just retrieve it via the api: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/retrieve

Is "Charge" object created by successfule "Checkout Session"

[pearl agate]

Payment Intents are built on top of Charges, so yes

But only some checkout sessions

For example sessions in setup mode will not create payment intents

They just create setup intents

[mellow vector]

So if we have payment intent then we do not need charge_object_id. If we do, what circumstance we need to get to more information about charge_id?

[pearl agate]

Well that depends on your integration. You may not need anything on the charge object

You can look at what's available on it here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/object

[mellow vector]

Ok. Other than paymentintetn_object, any other object is created upon successful creation of Charge session for hosted integration?

[pearl agate]

Depends on your integration. Maybe customer is created. Certainly a payment method object is created

What are you trying to do exactly?

[mellow vector]

I am creating Checkout session and user will pay Stripe hosted page. I have included values of all the fields that are acceptable during creation of Checkout session. As I am inputting lot of information, so it makes senses that successful Checkout session will create customer and payment method objects. Anyother object you can think of that will be created from Checkout session? So here is the list of objects that are created: chaeckout object, paymentintent object, customer object, payment method object. Any other object you want to add to this list? Thank you!

[pearl agate]

I can't think of anymore at the moment

There may be more I'm missing

Easiest way to verify is to do a stripe listen in the cli: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/test

Then that will show you all the events generated when you go through a checkout session

[mellow vector]

Do you have list of events that are generated by Checkout session?

[pearl agate]

No

That's why I suggested the above

Why do you need this list though?

What data are you missing from customer, payment method, payment intent, etc?

[mellow vector]

So I can prepare enhanced entity relationship diagram for the db tables.

[pearl agate]

Ok

Objects created will differ depending on the checkout session type too

Like subscription sessions create invoices and subscriptions too

[mellow vector]

I know that

[pearl agate]

Each type creates different object types

So best you experiment and look at the events generated

[mellow vector]

I am focusing now on "payment_mode" only

[pearl agate]

Yeah so again, I think you have them all

But recommend doing a test

[mellow vector]

In postman, I input "customer_creation" as "always" and it did not create a customer object, instead it gives me the following output: "customer_creation": "always".

[pearl agate]

You need to complete checkout for a customer to be created

Did you do that?

[mellow vector]

How can I do in postman?

[pearl agate]

You can't

You need to be in the checkout session to complete payment

You need to physically go to the link and complete payment

[mellow vector]

So postman created a link and I can complete payment from the link and hopefully it will create a customer. Let me try. Please wait for me.

Where can I find test card no?

[pearl agate]

https://stripe.com/docs/testing

[mellow vector]

I made a test payment and it was successful, where can I find that the customer is created?

[pearl agate]

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/customers

[mellow vector]

I saw the customer information in a dashboard. Now I need to save the customer information in db table. How can I do it programatically instead of exporting customer information using excel?

[pearl agate]

Recommend you do it through webhooks: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks

[mellow vector]

Is not webhook an event handler.? My question is how can I programmatically get customer information to save data in a db table.

[pearl agate]

https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/retrieve

[mellow vector]

Is it possible to find customer object id programatically?

[pearl agate]

Why do this programatically when you can use webhooks like I suggested earlier?

You can get notified for successful payments, customer creation, etc

And then store that info in the db

[mellow vector]

So after successful payment, customer will be created, I assume. If this is the case, then I am good.

[pearl agate]

Yes

[mellow vector]

Thank for the clarafication.

[pearl agate]

But customer will be on the session object after payment: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-customer

[mellow vector]

Yes, once I know the customer object id, I can retrive it and save to db table.

Above link did not show that a customer object is created but I know the flow now.

[pearl agate]

The above link is to demonstrate that on the checkout session object, the customer id will be available once the customer has completed payment

[mellow vector]

Yes. The same flow for payment method object. Correct?

[pearl agate]

Yes

And again, highly recommend webhooks instead of constantly pinging the api

[mellow vector]

We will implement webhook. All these answers clarify the data flow. If there is a dataflow diagram that would be greate. But as of now I am ok. Thank you again!
