@tall bough honestly, we highly highly recommend never doing that. This is brittle and you're going to end up with various edge-cases over time and regret it completely.
But if you really have to you should use confirmation_method: 'manual' which always requires an extra confirmation server-side and it will work even after 3DS. See https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-confirmation_method
But it is mostly only compatible with card payments

Hey sorry I'm here just thinking about this.

tall bough Jul 17, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

I'd rather not do that, especially if it isn't recommended. But I'm not sure of alternate approaches?

#

When you say highly recommend never doing that what exactly are you referring to? The manual confirmation I assume but want to be clear

rich latch Jul 17, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Yes. We recommend never trying to get to a state where money movement only happens after an explicit server-side operation. That's discouraged and that prevents you from using almost any payment method other than card

Ok interesting, that's helpful to understand. If I hold inventory while a payment is processing, I need to somehow release the hold on that inventory when a payment doesn't go through for whatever reason. I guess the payment intent webhooks can be used for that.

#

yes and you can have also a "max time" where after the time passes you can for example cancel the underlying PaymentIntent so that even if they finish 3DS after, the confirmation will fail and we'd show an error

tall bough Jul 17, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

Right so a time based cancellation and a payment failure cancellation

#

In this case I can probably just move to fully client side confirmation which should reduce complexity quite a bit. Thanks for the help.
