Hey

#

This is the relevant code

#

`let invoice;
invoice = event.data.object;
invoice = await stripe.invoices.retrieve(invoice.id, { expand: ['payment_intent.payment_method'] });

        const billingDetails = invoice.payment_intent.payment_method.billing_details;
        console.log(invoice.payment_intent.payment_method)

        const billingFullName = billingDetails.name;
        const billingEmail = billingDetails.email;
        const billingPhone = billingDetails.phone;`

Hello, are you confirming the invoice's payment intent on your own custom page, or are you using the hosted invoice page? For a custom page, you can disable the email field from elements and create your own input to collect it. I don't think the hosted invoice page can be forced to collect email but I can double check.

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:31 PM

#

I have a custom one yes

#

But that doesnt make any sense

#

There are endless websites with apple pay one click checkout

#

Why would I made another input vor email?

#

Also, I think having a selected email is required for they payment to go through with apple pay and gpay, no?

#

the payment*

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:36 PM

#

It looks like the payment request button does have an option for collecting emails https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_request/create#stripe_payment_request-options-requestPayerEmail

Stripe JS Reference

#

Not currently seeing it for the Express Checkout Element but can look further

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:36 PM

#

Yes, I'm using the ECE

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

I was more in the headspace that you might be using payment methods beyond wallets, in which case that is the most consistent way to collect email across all PMs

#

Will look in to that more

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

Alright, thanks!

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:38 PM

#

I'm not seeing this for ECE, will ask my colleagues and get back to you

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:39 PM

#

Thanks!

#

The weird thing is that... I'm 90% sure it worked as expected yesterday

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:43 PM

#

It looks like this is an option that can be enabled by the on click handler:

  const options = {
    emailRequired: true,
    phoneNumberRequired: true
  };
  event.resolve(options);
});```

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:44 PM

#

Alrighty, am trying it right now

#

Okay, now it works as expected

#

Thanks a lot!

#

One more question: I have been approved to use PayPal within the ECE, but it still doesnt show up

#

I am doing const expressCheckoutOptions = { layout: { overflow: "never" }, buttonHeight: 50, paymentMethodOrder: ["google_pay", "apple_pay", "paypal"] };

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

Interesting, looking in to that and will get back to you

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

Thanks!

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

Is PayPal on in your payment settings? Also if you create a payment intent and specify payment_method_types=['paypal] do you get any errors?

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

Yes, it is

#

#

Where would I create the payment intent within an ECE implementation?

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 3:02 PM

#

I meant apart from the page, creating an intent like that can be a quick test to see if there are overall issues with the PM on your account. On second thought that probably wouldn't be that helpful here.
When you initialize elements client side, are you specifying the invoice's intent's client secret, or are you initializing your page before it has that secret?

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

Sorry, now that I think better

#

I don't know exactly what you mean by that

#

I'll create a minimal version

#

`const options = {
mode: 'subscription',
amount: totalPrice * 100,
currency,
appearance: {
variables: {
borderRadius: '36px',
}
},
setupFutureUsage: "off_session",
};

return (
    <Elements stripe={stripePromise} options={options}>
        <ElementsConsumer>
            {({ stripe }) => {
                if (!stripe) {
                    return <Spinner />;
                };
                return (
                    <>
                        <ExpressCheckout
                            {...props}
                        />
                        <ManualCheckout
                            {...props}
                        />
                    </>
                );
            }}
        </ElementsConsumer>
    </Elements>
);`

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

Gotcha, if you expand the "PayPal" section in your PayPal settings, does it say if recurring payments are turned on?

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

Oh interesting, says requires approval

#

But I received an email saying I was approved

#

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

Ah gotcha, that is likely the issue then. Is the PayPal button showing up for you in test mode? I think this recurring payments setting doesn't exist in test mode, but I think we may just act like it is already on

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

No, its not showing

dapper pulsar Apr 10, 2024, 3:21 PM

#

Gotcha, seeing the same on my PayPal enabled account in test mode. PayPal shows up for me for one time payments but not subscriptions

#

Checking if it is possible to enable this for test mode PayPal

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

Thanks!

#

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:47 PM

#

Hello!

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

It looks like something changed regarding the way PayPal recurring payments work in test mode. This is something we're looking into, but likely won't be able to solve here on Discord. I recommend you write in to support and explain that there's no option to enable PayPal in test mode on your account. That way, when the issue is resolved, you'll get a reply to your support request about it. https://support.stripe.com/contact/email

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 3:55 PM

#

Alright, I understand

#

One last thing I have just ran into

#

I was previously creating a subscription with a predivined price_id

#

Now, I am tyring to dynamically create a subscription (based on dynamic price ids), but it seems that the payment_intent is always null

#

const product = await stripe.products.create({ name: Subscription with ${addon} addon`,
});
console.log("Stripe product has been created.");

//create a dynamic price
const price = await stripe.prices.create({
    unit_amount: totalPrice,
    currency: currency.toLowerCase(),
    recurring: {interval: 'year'},
    product: product.id,
});
console.log("Stripe price has been created.");
  
//create the subscription
const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
    customer: stripeCustomerId,
    items: [{
        price: price.id,
    }],
    payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
    payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' },
    expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
    metadata: metadata,
});
console.log("Stripe subscription has been created.");`.

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

Can you give me the ID of the Subscription that code created so I can take a look?

#

Also note that if you're doing one-off/ad-hoc pricing you may want to use price_data when creating the Subscription instead of creating a distinct Price separately: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

Sure, 1 sec please

#

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

Looking...

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

Thanks!

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

The Invoice's total was below our minimum charge amount, so that negative amount was applied to the Customer's balance instead of being charged.

#

That balance will be applied to the next Invoice that has a total above our minimum charge amounts.

#

That's when you'll get that money.

#

So no Payment Intent is expected in this case.

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

Okay, so I should try again with a higher amount

#

Admittedly, Im a bit confused by the negative amounts you mentioned

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

I'm happy to clarify.

#

In this case the Invoice's total was for £0.29. Our minimum charge amount for GBP is £0.30. We can't create a Payment Intent for an amount lower than that, so we didn't. Instead, we applied a -£0.29 amount to the Customer's balance. That balance will automatically be applied to the next Invoice created for that Customer, which in this case means the Invoice will be for the amount of the line items on that Invoice plus £0.29.

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

I see

#

The problem is that I don't remember ever having that amount

#

for example, I'm just trying to make a 19 pound payment

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

In your request to create the Subscription you set metadata that indicates the total price is 29: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_44LCkJWm0OKODA

#

Also, the Price you specified has an amount of 29.

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

Ah, I see

#

I'm looking into that

#

So sorry, you're right

#

I forgot about the *1000 trick

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

inner scarab Also note that if you're doing one-off/ad-hoc pricing you may want to use `price...

Do you recommend using this as opposed to my approach? ( does it still create the price/product clutter my approach does)

inner scarab Apr 10, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

No, it won't create the Price/Product clutter, which is why I recommended it.

#

Give it a try and see if it fits your use case better.

tidal agate Apr 10, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

Thanks a lot!

#

Thanks for your time!
