Hi there!
Can you provide more context about your use case? Does the restaurant have a Stripe account? Is Connect involved?
blissful salmon
Hey!
They have a stripe account, but via Wix, and they would like to get rid of Wix. I don’t believe they have connect.
They currently have fixed amounts but want to have variable amounts. I’ve fixed that bit, but when I look in products they don’t show up (which I gather is correct as it’s archived by strips straight away). So now I would like to trigger a notification that they have a new gift card they need to post out. I started reading about webhooks which feels like it could be a good fit, but just looking for guidance tbh!

Do you have an example ID from their account that I can look up? A PaymentIntent ID will help
blissful salmon
No unfortunately. I believe it’s all integrated with Wix and they don’t use the stripe dashboard at all.
I created my own dashboard to test though - would that help?
rotund atlas
You shouldn't need the Dashboard to retrieve an ID. Are you currently using the API to retrieve and update objects on their account?
I mostly wanted an ID to see how they're currently handling this. It sounds like they might be creating one-off Products for "gift cards", vs. using Stripe Issuing to create gift cards: https://docs.stripe.com/gift-cards

Sorry for not being clear. I am doing an entirely new website for them and testing stripe myself
Ah sorry I can’t get the link to work but yes, I believe you are right about how they are using it
rotund atlas
Okay, got it. And as part of their move away from Wix, they want to be able to charge a customer for a gift card product, where the customer can choose the amount?
blissful salmon
Exactly right! I based my solution on the variable pricing video from the stripe devs
rotund atlas
Can you share a link to the video you're referencing?

And are you looking to use Checkout as well or the PaymentElement?
blissful salmon
I am using checkout with a stripe hosted page. I’m happy to switch to PaymentElement if it’s a better fit
rotund atlas
No, that's fine
Okay, so where are you stuck exactly? If a customer purchases a gift card for $75 for example, you'll want to build an integration that listens for a successful payment and then decides what to do next based on that purchase
You're on the right track, webhooks are likely the way to go here. Your webhook can listen for checkout.session.completed events: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/fulfill-orders
