Hello! If you're integrating directly with Stripe and have specific questions I can help, but if you're using a firebase extension you'll likely need to talk to them

hazy dirge Hello! If you're integrating directly with Stripe and have specific questions I ...

I use Firebase So I found out the Stripe Extension they offer but I am keep getting lost with their cloud function thing

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

Which specific part?

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

after configuring the extension, it generated these functions

now what's next?

#

there is a link in the extension

how it works

#

so when I clicked it

#

it goes to this github repo

#

it says "web SDK"

#

https://github.com/invertase/stripe-firebase-extensions/blob/next/firestore-stripe-web-sdk/README.md

solemn arch there is a link in the extension how it works

#

Okay let's take a step back here - I'd recommend you start by first reading through how a normal Stripe Android integration would work end to end (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android)

#

Once you understand that, you can replace the server calls with calls to the firebase extension (and you can reference this video https://youtu.be/nw7rOijQKo8?t=1935 if you want some more guidance on how it all comes together)

yah so in this section

they have mentioned a server side right, I don't need a server since I have the Firebase ?

#

for the add an endpoint section

Firebase already generated a link to me I guess I have to add that endpoint url for webhooks

#

if I got these parts correctly?

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

Yeah the firebase cloud functions would be what you use instead of calling your own server

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

ok

#

so where does this section comes?

#

it's also unnecessary ?

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

No you definitely need that - that's where you'd call out to your firebase cloud function to get the information you need

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

hazy dirge No you definitely need that - that's where you'd call out to your firebase cloud...

so I have to push this as a function manually to the Firebase clound functions ?

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

I'm not sure what you mean by push this manually, but you would have to call the firebase function form your app

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

ok so the extension only created these 6 functions only

#

I don't see a function called "payment-sheet" in there

#

these are 6 functions

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

This is why I recommended that you watch that video - it's not going to be an exact one-to-one mapping because our docs are meant for folks who are itnegrating directly

#

You need to look through the functions and see which of them are returning the information you need

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

hazy dirge This is why I recommended that you watch that video - it's not going to be an ex...

oh yah this video I watched it too

#

in this video he pulled out a Firebase code from somewhere else

#

and also that video doesn't use the extension

#

they directly deploy the functions from the CLI tool

#

So that's why I was confused whether to use the extension or the firebase cli tool they have used in the video tutorial

#

you can see this piece of code is not even in the stripe doc

it's from somewhere else, the code is in the provided github link though, but it's not maintained and archived

#

#

stripe code

hazy dirge Dec 7, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

At this point I think you need to push on the folks that own/maintain the firebase extension for more clarity - from what I can see, the extension DOES create ephemeral keys (https://github.com/invertase/stripe-firebase-extensions/blob/2ad018aeb45564fce06540a952253715aba1ef79/firestore-stripe-payments/functions/src/index.ts#L274) but this isn't an extension that we own or maintain, so I'm not really sure what they recommend here in terms of which specific function to use/when to use it

rare starBOT Dec 7, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

yah invertase

#

that's the extension I use, since stripe no longer develop ( i guess)

robust schooner Dec 7, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

yeah you'd need to talk to them about this

solemn arch Dec 7, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

it cannot be this complicated right

#

I will talk to Firebase and Invertase

#

thank you thank you

#

@hazy dirge , @robust schooner for allocating your time for me
