Hi 👋

We document multiple possible charge funds flows for Connect here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges

Can you clarify which one you are attemtping to use?

Have this first route to create my payment_intent working:

    const { amount, currency } = req.body;

    const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
          amount,
          currency,
          automatic_payment_methods: {
            enabled: true,
          },
          application_fee_amount: 123,
        },
        {
          stripeAccount: 'acct_1',
        }
      );

    console.log(paymentIntent);
})```

Then when I go to confirm the payment intent:

    const { paymentIntent } = req.body;
    
    const capturedPaymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.capture(paymentIntent);
    console.log(capturedPaymentIntent);
})```

I get this error: This PaymentIntent could not be captured because it has a status of requires_payment_method. Only a PaymentIntent with one of the following statuses may be captured: requires_capture.

To chartge the customer, do I want capture or confirm?

And how can I test this in postman?

You are missing a few steps

The payment intent after you create it doesn't have a payment method associated with it

You can either make a separate API call to confirm the intent: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/confirm and pass one of our testing Payment Methods; https://docs.stripe.com/testing?testing-method=payment-methods#cards

Or, you can include the test Payment Method when you create the Intent and pass confirm: true

You should not need to capture the funds unless you specify capture_method: "manual" when creating the intent

So when I am doing this from the frontend, I would get the pamynt method from the elements form and then what do I need to pass in the request body to charge the card?

Just this info:

    const capturedPaymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.confirm(
        paymentIntent,
        {
            payment_method: 'pm_card_visa', <--- method from stripe elements?
            return_url: 'https://example.com',
        }
        );```

That will transition the PaymentIntent to a status of requires_confirmation. Then you just need to confirm it and you will see the application fee deducated

[copper smelt]

So I

1. Create payment intent
2. Confirm payment intent
3. Capture payment intent?

[hexed bobcat]

But I recommend you walk through our basic payment integration, end to end, and just include the Stripe Account header and application_fee_amount to see the whole flow clearly
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements

[copper smelt]

Let me peek

[hexed bobcat]

And you will only need to capture the intent if you specify that you want to capture it manually by passing capture_method: "manual" when you create the intent. Otherwise, it will go through automatically when you confirm it.

Ok gonna try to go through this whole flow.

thx

An am I using the connect accounts secret key? Or the connected accounts?

[hexed bobcat]

You use the Platform's API keys and specify the Connect Account in the stripe_account parameter
