👋 @spice prism Elements and Checkout are completely separate products. Are you trying to use Embedded Checkout specifically? If so read https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/embedded/quickstart

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 5:52 PM

Well I am getting the customer secret from backend, its using elements. I was then going to get the session by pi_ , then do checkout session on front end with url , on the app to collect CC info and payment. As the app dont have access to js. or sdk . Its delphi software.

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

I'm really sorry, I have no idea what you are asking right now. What does "getting the customer secret" mean? There's no such thing in our product or APIs

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

sorry client_secret

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

there's no client_secret for a Customer object though. I'm really sorry but you're not using the right vocabulary and I don't follow at all your intent

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 5:57 PM

#

I get the Client_secret when i do a payment_intents call to the API. Once i get that, I can get the pi_ number.. Using this payment_intent number i wanted to get the Session linked to it. Then I could use this session to create a url link for customers to pay by using the checkout.

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 5:58 PM

#

Using this payment_intent number i wanted to get the Session linked to it.
Yeah you got things completely backwards. You should never create the PaymentIntent. You should create the Checkout Session instead

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

In the web they use PaymentIntent , but for front end i want to use checkout.. The payment intent seems to make a session also , is there any way to link the 2 so i can use the pi_ to create a check out session?

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

I'm really sorry you're saying a lot of things that don't really make sense to me. You say "in the web they..." and then oppose this to "for front end" but they are the same. I really don't follow you unfortunately.

Ultimately if you want to use Checkout, you need to create a Checkout Session and not a PaymentIntent

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:05 PM

#

ok , i will try to keep it simple and one subject sorry. Lets say we create a paymentIntent, I get a client_secret back. After that , how can i get a url for check out? or is that not possible?

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

that's impossible

#

So don't do that, use Checkout directly. Follow our canonical docs: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=checkout

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

ok so only way to get a url is in check out. Payment Intents dont offer url .

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

correct

#

That helps , I am using delphi software to create an app, and the website is using intents. I was trying to get the payment intents data and convert it to a check out so i could embeed the URL link into the app so the app is not sending cc data. Does that make sense? do you know of any other way with out making the website convert to check out ?

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

No unfortunately it doesn't make sense at all to me I'm sorry. If you are using PaymentIntent server-side, what happens client-side? Are you using PaymentElement? Or something else?

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

client side (website) uses element , but delphi(app) can not use strip.js or sdk , thus why i need a URL for payment

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

Sure but then render your own website's URL and show your normal website that already uses Elements

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

that is currently my only option, it just dont look good, because i have to embed a webbrowser into app. And going threw the whole booking process in an embed webbrowser looks bad. figured if i only had to embed the payment page it would be better.

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

yeah sorry I don't get what that could mean unfortunately

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

i guess other option , is dont ever start a payment intent with back end , and just do my own check out process.

#

as long as keys are same, it should all go to same account correct

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:17 PM

#

yes

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:18 PM

#

ok , ill try that next.. Thanks again. And as a suggestion please submitt a option for Delphi SDK along with the Android and Apple SDK

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

honestly I don't see us ever adding a delphi SDK

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

it not popular enough?

#

In delphi i can do one set of code, and it creates the apple , android, windows version of the app.. its a huge time saver for making apps.

proud totem Dec 11, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

It's definitely not common. You're the first person I've ever seen ask us about Delphi. Looking at the history of our server only one other dev asked about this language

#

ReactNative or Flutter offer the same features right?

spice prism Dec 11, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

not sure , i think flutter does. Well thanks again.
