Hello do you have an example ID of a payment intent that you saw this behavior on? From your error message it sounds like your intent is still in the default state of requires_payment_method so it sounds like you may have gotten a decline or may not have completed the hold before trying to capture the funds

From what I can see that intent was sent to the terminal but it looks like the payment from the terminal never succeeded. Can you tell me about what you do on the terminal after you call processPaymentIntent and what you are seeing when you do it?

[shy bane]

I have a simulted terminal in my location. I am retrieving the terminal and passing its ID:

READER: {"id":"tmr_FjdygQpwbvIHHQ","object":"terminal.reader","action":{"failure_code":null,"failure_message":null,"process_payment_intent":{"payment_intent":"pi_3PIaz6EPuIFxKCqt08ATgWhA"},"status":"in_progress","type":"process_payment_intent"},"device_sw_version":"","device_type":"simulated_wisepos_e","ip_address":"0.0.0.0","label":"Sim 2","last_seen_at":1716229953845,"livemode":false,"location":"tml_FiuXCQpknBASRm","metadata":{},"serial_number":"5cfa7398-ff9d-4dc4-b8ad-ab51b0325194","status":"online"}

With simulated terminals you should be calling present_payment_method to simulate a cardholder insterting or tapping their card on the reader https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/references/testing#simulated-card-presentment

[shy bane]

Ok- now I see a status of "succeeded", but am still getting the same error on the capture:
READER2: {"id":"tmr_FjdygQpwbvIHHQ","object":"terminal.reader","action":{"failure_code":null,"failure_message":null,"process_payment_intent":{"payment_intent":"pi_3PIbZwEPuIFxKCqt1K7m6PMx"},"status":"succeeded","type":"process_payment_intent"},"device_sw_version":"","device_type":"simulated_wisepos_e","ip_address":"0.0.0.0","label":"Sim 2","last_seen_at":1716232181463,"livemode":false,"location":"tml_FiuXCQpknBASRm","metadata":{},"serial_number":"5cfa7398-ff9d-4dc4-b8ad-ab51b0325194","status":"online"}

It looks like you made the capture call 40 seconds before calling that present_payment_method call. The present payment method needs to happen first. That call is simulating someone paying with their card, you can't capture funds if the payment hasn't been made yet. Can you try capturing that intent's funds again?

[shy bane]

40 seconds? its all in one server.js. Here is the code I have:

  console.log("READER1: "+JSON.stringify(reader));

 reader = await stripe.testHelpers.terminal.readers.presentPaymentMethod(reader.id);

 console.log("READER2: "+JSON.stringify(reader));



    try {
    const token = await getToken();
    console.log("TOKEN2: " + JSON.stringify(token));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  }

  try {
    intent = await createIntent();
    console.log("INTENT: " + JSON.stringify(intent));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  }

  console.log("INTENT ID:"+intent.id);

  processResult = await stripe.terminal.readers.processPaymentIntent(reader.id,{payment_intent: intent.id});
  console.log("processResult: "+JSON.stringify(processResult));

 try {

      const capture = await stripe.paymentIntents.capture(intent.id);
          console.log("CAPTURE: " + JSON.stringify(capture));

    } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  
  }```

I am doing presentPaymentMethod before processPaymentIntent

[keen wasp]

So ideally a Terminal payment works like this:

1. You send the payment intent to the terminal
2. The customer taps or inserts their card, thus placing a hold on the funds
3. You capture the funds later
   Your code currently does those steps in this order:
4. Simulate the user tapping their card with presentPaymentMethod
5. Send the intent to the Terminal
6. Try to capture funds

THAT WAS THE ONE LAST MISSING PIECE!! ITS WORKING!

Thank you so much. I knew I was close!

Time to order a real WisePOS! How much of the current code will need to be changed to get that to work?
