All these webhook events should include the Authorization object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/issuing/authorizations/object
Do you you haven any example events?
wide jolt
i dont think they all do
yes i do
event:
issuing_authorization.request
amount is 0 but pending_request object has the amount but not in negative
dire cradle
Just the Event ID will work
wide jolt
i dont get it
u mean i can call something with the id ?
oh ahahah u meant i should just provide the id
issuing_authorization.request : evt_1Nb4vGC2b2UXE1UE3fTJPkEu
issuing_authorization.created : evt_1Nb4vIC2b2UXE1UEuhtHZ99o
issuing_authorization.updated : evt_1Nb4wXC2b2UXE1UEojU41R27
issuing_transaction.created : evt_1Nb4wXC2b2UXE1UEWJNkq139

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...
wide jolt
Hello sure no problem
fringe oak
The information you want should be on the Balance Transaction on these. You can see in there the amount and if it was negative or not.
wide jolt
sure let me check for all
fringe oak
There's also the top-level amount on these.
wide jolt
the balance_transaction is a string
do i call something to get the info ?
yes there is the amount but some are 0 or have no - sign to know if taking out
fringe oak
The ones with a zero amount are validations, they're not moving money.
What's your high-level goal?
wide jolt
for instance when a user want to pay for something, this event gets called first issuing_authorization.request
when it does i want to create our own transaction details
which ofcourse will be in pending state
but when i look into the data given for that event
the amount is 0
then the next event is issuing_authorization.created, which is called after i accepted the transaction
the amount now is a number but does not have any negative sign to show that its a deduction
same with issuing_authorization.updated
i see balance_transactions
do i need to get from there ?
fringe oak
Ah, I think you want the info in the pending_request on the issuing_authorization.request Event.
wide jolt
yep
i see it there for issuing_authorization.request
for
issuing_authorization.created its null
fringe oak
Right, because it's no longer pending.
Now the info is on the Issuing Authorization itself.
wide jolt
yep
but how do i get the right amount ?
i kinda wanna keep track
i dont know what each event might change
fringe oak
I'm not sure I understand your question, can you provide more details? What do you mean by change?
wide jolt
i mean whats the right way to track when card is used ?
this are the event i get when a card is used/tested
fringe oak
Do you understand the difference between the Events you're asking about?
fringe oak
Okay, I guess I don't understand your question then?
wide jolt
let me go one by one
when u used ur card to pay for netflix maybe
this event gets called issuing_authorization.request
i accept it or decline it and if accepted this event issuing_authorization.created gets called
then if automatic capture is allowed or i do it myself which is the last thing
this event issuing_authorization.updated gets called
fringe oak
Yep.
wide jolt
then i also noticed in the transactions page a new transaction will be added and its event is this issuing_transaction.created
now imagin u trying to pay for ur netflix or anything
the first event is called
and you looking at ur phone
refreshing to see updates
and on my side i want to show to u that yes u are paying for netflix but its in pending state and its process is not finished
this gives you the user a clear message that ok things going on
then as next event happen i update the transaction and show to you
and in the end it will either be the transaction was accepted and all went well or was declined
now lets say maybe for some of us this might happenes in milliseconds
but maybe for someone else might take longer, so showing them that transaction with its details rest them assured
now how am i supposed or where in the data for each event to get the right amount details or any additional fees in which i will show to the user to see while whole process going on ?
you get me ?
fringe oak
I understand what you're saying, yep. The part I don't understand is that you just listed all the Events you would listen to in order to get the information you want, so I don't understand what you need help with. To put it another way, it sounds like you just said to me "here are the places where I can get the data I want to display" and I agree, those are indeed the places to get that data, so I'm confused about what your question is or where you're stuck?
wide jolt
yep i listed them but i am asking for guidance which part of each data is the right to look into
for instance
its amount is not negative
{
"id": "txn_1Nb4vHC2b2UXE1UE30fQU8ka",
"object": "balance_transaction",
"amount": -1500,
"available_on": 1691082171,
"created": 1691082171,
"currency": "usd",
"description": "Hold for authorization",
"exchange_rate": null,
"fee": 0,
"fee_details": [
],
"net": -1500,
"reporting_category": "issuing_authorization_hold",
"source": "iauth_1Nb4vGC2b2UXE1UE43NpkJr9",
"status": "available",
"type": "issuing_authorization_hold"
}
],```but then it has that
then
this also not negative
{
"id": "txn_1Nb4vHC2b2UXE1UE30fQU8ka",
"object": "balance_transaction",
"amount": -1500,
"available_on": 1691082171,
"created": 1691082171,
"currency": "usd",
"description": "Hold for authorization",
"exchange_rate": null,
"fee": 0,
"fee_details": [

"net": -1500,
"reporting_category": "issuing_authorization_hold",
"source": "iauth_1Nb4vGC2b2UXE1UE43NpkJr9",
"status": "available",
"type": "issuing_authorization_hold"
},
{
"id": "txn_1Nb4wXC2b2UXE1UEs3tmghpn",
"object": "balance_transaction",
"amount": 1500,
"available_on": 1691082249,
"created": 1691082249,
"currency": "usd",
"description": "Released hold for authorization due to capture",
"exchange_rate": null,
"fee": 0,
"fee_details": [

"net": 1500,
"reporting_category": "issuing_authorization_release",
"source": "iauth_1Nb4vGC2b2UXE1UE43NpkJr9",
"status": "available",
"type": "issuing_authorization_release"
}
]```but i see this
fringe oak
The amount on the Issuing Authorization is the amount of the transaction. The Balance Transaction is negative because that amount is being deducted from your balance to cover that transaction.
wide jolt
ok but how do i know its debit or credit ?
a person can add money into their card right ??
fringe oak
You mean like a debit or credit card, or money moving into or out of your account?
wide jolt
yes when u make purchase u taking out, when a friend sends to ur account u adding in
how do i differenciate ?
fringe oak
The amount would be negative on the Issuing Authorization if money is being added to the card.
But, actually, I'm not sure an Authorization would be created in that case, hang on...
wide jolt
huh why
i am getting confused now hahaah
shouldnt it be positive if adding to the card
fringe oak
Yeah, I believe Authorizations are only for purchases.
For credits to the card I think you would only get an Issuing Transaction.
wide jolt
hmm i see
how to test that tho ?
this should be documented ahaha
what do i select ?
i am currently working on the virtual cards
fringe oak
You don't, that's to create a test authorization. I don't believe that would apply if you want to test a credit.
wide jolt
hmm
a question tho, can virtual card recieve money internationaly ?
also how to test a credit ?
fringe oak
You could create a purchase and then refund it.
I don't know about the receive money internationally part, can you explain more about what you mean?
wide jolt
as in if somone create their own vertual card based on their local currency and someone in another country wants to send them money from whatever bank
can they do that ?
will the virtual card person receive it ?
fringe oak
How would they send them money?
wide jolt
ah yes u right, they will need the bank number
seems i have been mixing virtual card and normal banking card together
veirtual card is just for online pyaments
fringe oak
Yep, that's correct.
wide jolt
ahahah this totally ruins ma plan hahaha
anyways thanks i have some changes to make then will see how things goes
fringe oak
Happy to help!
wide jolt
One last thing the question came up suddenly
is it possible to convert virtual card to normal card ?
fringe oak
I don't believe so, no. I think you would need to create a separate physical card.
