Hello 👋

I am running recurring payment how do I know if its actually gets failed or not?
Not sure what you mean by that, can you elaborate?

#

I am using Stripe checkout session with 3ds card in test mode.
When Popup opens for authorization, it sends invoice.payment_failed event webhook before I confirm authorization. Your Support person said to use stripe_checkout_completed webhook instead of that

#

Should I use that?

#

Hello

#

Please be patient, there are other folks on this server who need help too

#

I did have previous thread and guy changed and I got generic answer after that

#

And it did close

#

Should I use that?
Should you use that for what? I'm sorry but the question is quite vague. What are you trying to implement exactly?

Hi,
I am using Stripe checkout session with 3ds card in test mode.
When Popup opens for authorization, it sends invoice.payment_failed event webhook before I confirm authorization.

#

Why is that?

warm minnow Sep 20, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

That's expected, as Stripe tries to charge the payment method automatically but issuer requires 3DS authentication. So the first attempt to pay the invoice technically failed. invoice.payment_failed is expected in that case

wispy geyser Sep 20, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

Ok, So what webhook should I use to confirm payment then?

invoice.paid is the one folks typically rely on for payment confirmations
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/webhooks

If the checkout session is for an intial invoice then you can just rely on checkout.session.completed

wispy geyser Sep 20, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

True but checkout.session.completed gets called first time
My payment is subscription based, If I don't rely on invoice paid and invoice failed then for next payment I won't know what happened

warm minnow Sep 20, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

I am suggesting that you rely on checkout.session.completed for first invoice and then invoice.paid for subsequent invoices

Each recurring invoice will have a billing_reason set to subscription_cycle
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object?lang=ruby#invoice_object-billing_reason

The first invoice will have billing_reason set to subscription_create

wispy geyser Sep 20, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

Ok That's what I am looking for a clear identifier

warm minnow Sep 20, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

Yeah sorry, that wasn't super clear from your earlier questions. But glad you're unblocked

wispy geyser Sep 20, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Thanks for the help

#

One more question
What is the best way to handle confirmation of payment and subscription started for 3ds and non 3DS cards?
I mean what webhooks should be used to handle both type of cards

#

As in what webhook should you listen to to see the first payment succeeding? invoice.paid is a good event for that, you can check the billing_reason on the Invoice to see if it is the first invoice or not
