Hello! Idempotency keys are designed to let you retry requests safely. For example, let's say you make a request to complete a payment and you get a timeout error. You can't be sure if Stripe received the request or not, so the payment may or may not have happened. If you retry the request without an idempotency key you might cause the payment to go through twice. With an idempotency key the same exact request can be tried again safely; the key lets us match up both requests and know that you only intended to perform that operation once.
Using the same idempotency key for two different requests, with different parameters, doesn't make sense.
Does that help?
gilded thorn
Yes, I believe I should update the shoping cart is on every updates. idemtpotency-key = seti_${userId}_${cartId}
Make sence?
onyx charm
Not sure, I need more details to advise.
gilded thorn
So , I shouldn't care about idempotecy unless for retries or should I use them all the time?
onyx charm
I will say that, generally speaking, using a cart ID isn't usually a good choice for an idempotency key, as a cart ID might have many dfferent requests associated with it.
gilded thorn
Not sure how to implement it then.
onyx charm
What Stripe APIs are you using?
onyx charm
No, I mean, like are you using Payment Intents? Charges? Invoices?
Checkout Sessions?
gilded thorn
setup intents and payment intents
onyx charm
Are you using one of our official libraries?
gilded thorn
???
onyx charm
What programming language are you using?
gilded thorn
THis is the message I receive. There is an option to update the cart id. then it works.
onyx charm
Right, but what programming language are you using?
gilded thorn
Javascript
onyx charm
On your server? So Node?
gilded thorn
fetch(/create-setup-intent?clang=${lang}, {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({ ...customer, cart }),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Idempotency-Key': seti_${customer.id}_${cart.id}
}
});
return fetch('/create-payment-intent', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Idempotency-Key': pi_${customer.id}_${cart.id}
},
body: JSON.stringify(cart)
})
yes node
onyx charm
That's the client-side code. What language are you using on your server to handle the /create-setup-intent URL?
gilded thorn
Node
onyx charm
Are you using our offical Node library? https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node
gilded thorn
// Check if the request is a duplicate
const existingIntent = await retrieveIntentBy(idempotencyKey, 'setupIntents');
if (existingIntent) {
// Return the response from the original request
return res.status(200).json({
error,
existingIntent
});
}
const setupIntent = await stripe.setupIntents.create(
options,
{ idempotencyKey}
);
"stripe": "^14.10.0",
onyx charm
So yeah, you're using our official library. That library generally takes care of idempotency keys for you, so you don't need to set them or worry about them in general.
gilded thorn
Sub..., So i just need to remove it?
onyx charm
Yeah.
gilded thorn
Thanks.
I am having issue with new Stripe and Typescript validation.

Hi 👋
I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go
gilded thorn
I load stripe in the UI thoe way:
<script nonce="<%=nonce%>" defer src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>
jade sage
Okay so it seems like your idempotentcy key issue is resolved but you are having trouble with Typescript validation?
gilded thorn
But I cannot make work the instanciation with
new stripe()
idempotency key. I will remove them...
jade sage
Sorry but it is really hard to understand what you are talking about
What is your current issue when using stripe-node? What error are you seeing?
gilded thorn
let stripe: any; would like to have let stripe: Stripe instead; But i was not able to make it work somehow.
jade sage
Sorry I'm still not sure I understand you
gilded thorn
is the i the right import foe a client script?
import { Stripe } from '@stripe/stripe-js';
Thats what copilot suggested
jade sage
I would recommend you start by looking in this integration guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements&client=react#add-and-configure-the-elements-provider-to-your-payment-page
gilded thorn
Most script you provide are not in Typescript.
is this the right path with npm install @stripe/stripe-js
jade sage
Stripe JS does support Typescript but we do not show examples in it for our docs.
gilded thorn
That the issue I am facing. I need to use any because I was not able to make it work differently.
Should I use @stripe/stripe-js or the inlibe script is Ok.
jade sage
What have you tried?
gilded thorn
new Stripe(...)
Chat GTP suggest using:
var stripe = Stripe('YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY');
jade sage
Please use our published docs. I cannot help you with whatever integrations ChatGPT is suggesting
