Hi there, once the checkout session is complete, you should expand its payment_intent, so that you can get the payment_method through checkout_session->payment_intent->payment_method

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:05 AM

#

Ah i see, I didn't realize a payment intent was created as part of the checkout

#

thank you!

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 1:06 AM

#

It depends on the checkout session's mode. If the mode is payment, then the checkout session will create a payment_intent.

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:07 AM

#

our mode is subscription

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 1:08 AM

#

Ah I see. then you should expand subscription.latest_invoice and get the payment method from checkout_session->subscription->latest_invoice->payment_intent->payment_method

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:12 AM

#

do i need to specify these parameters via the expand key

#

const checkoutSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(sessionId);

#

is what i'm doing right now

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 1:14 AM

#

Put subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent in the expand array when retrieving the checkout session https://docs.stripe.com/expand

Expanding responses

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:14 AM

#

ah i didn't realize expand allowed nested objects

#

so that implicitly expands every object in the chain?

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

Yes, you can expand up to 4 levels

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

No overload matches this call.
  Overload 1 of 2, '(id: string, params?: SessionRetrieveParams | undefined, options?: RequestOptions | undefined): Promise<Response<Session>>', gave the following error.
    Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'string[]'.
  Overload 2 of 2, '(id: string, options?: RequestOptions | undefined): Promise<Response<Session>>', gave the following error.
    Argument of type '{ expand: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'RequestOptions'.
      Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'expand' does not exist in type 'RequestOptions'

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

Show me your code

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

expand is defined as a parameter though

      interface SessionRetrieveParams {
        /**
         * Specifies which fields in the response should be expanded.
         */
        expand?: Array<string>;
      }

#

oh it's an array

#

side note

#

why doesn't the typescript library type the response based on the expand key

#

      const checkoutSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(sessionId, {
        expand: ['subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
      });
     // (property) Stripe.Checkout.Session.subscription: string | Stripe.Subscription | null
     const sub = checkoutSession.subscription

#

since i'm expanding subscription it should know that it's not a string

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

@calm veldt
expansion does not work

const checkoutSession = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(sessionId, {
  expand: ['subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
});
const paymentMethod = checkoutSession.subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent.payment_method as string;

Unable to process stripe customer hold: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'payment_method')

#

it's not expanding payment_intent

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 2:29 AM

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

or rather there is no payment_intent

#

probably bc we create the subscription with a trial

#

i have the sessionId cs_test_a1XlAOVGx0RrOpfDJwSkmK70J1obf5yT3u93Xik6MghvFjiHJiHuZiNcKd

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 2:31 AM

#

Yes you are right,

#

And actually you can get the payment_method collected by checkout from the subscription's default_payment_method

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

ah so it's just session.subscription.default_payment_method ?

#

only need to expand subscription

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

Yes

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 2:55 AM

#

running into another problem

#

should i start a new thread

#

it's not rly related

#

@calm veldt

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

It's OK, we can continue here

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 3:07 AM

#

ok great ty

#

i'm testing a flow where we accept a payment method, but create a hold on that payment method

#

my understanding was creating that hold would fail in the same way that charging a payment intent would

#

i'm testing with the stripe card id that allows creating a payment method but will fail any charges 4000000000000341

#

however my payment intent creation with capture_mode manual succeeded

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

What's the paymentIntent ID?

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

pi_3Oz96gPMRkxSx21J0VAsNGhq

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

You haven't confirmed the PaymentIntent.

#

It'd fail when you confirm it.

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 3:22 AM

#

I see

#

just for me to confirm, a hold is different than a charge that is refunded correct?

#

as in if I create a hold and let it expire, i do not incurr any processing fees

calm veldt Mar 28, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

Yes you are right, but you can only hold up to 7 days

lethal spire Mar 28, 2024, 3:24 AM

#

perfect

#

we're creating the hold to ensure that the customer isn't starting a trial with a source that can't complete a payment

#

to navigate issues with different bank accounts selectively enforcing cvc / zip / address verification

#

and to prevent a customer from starting a trial with a card that is already maxed out
