this is a demo environment, but i need to test to fix a bug

[gentle river]

Hi there

the fail params should have a failed flag but they don't
what does this mean exactly? Are you following a specific guide here?

[tender jay]

https://www.yourmechanic.com/book?pay_later=true&payment_intent=pi_2PlfjjgrZ1Z0ZG5Z1hNOm3pg&payment_intent_client_secret=pi_2PlfjjgrZ1Z0ZG5Z1hNOm3pg_secret_eqWyNibJAKHAAKd5HNRx9ZDGX

there's no parameters on the url that said the afterpay flow failed

there used to be a few weeks ago

it used to have additional params of &redirect_status=failed

but those are missing so when the user comes back to the site our flow is broken

with the current response, how am i supposed to tell if the afterpay was authorized?

[gentle river]

Hm, are you sure redirect_status was included as a query param on Afterpay payments

[tender jay]

i misunderstood

yes redirect status was definitely there before

i tested it a million times

how else would i know if it failed or succeeded

[gentle river]

We generally recommend retrieving the payment_intent included in the query params and inspecting its status

[tender jay]

wow. is that the only way

?

why was the redirect_status removed? or does it only get added in some instances?

[gentle river]

I know it doesn't get added for cards (as I frequently test with cards and have never seen this before)

[tender jay]

so you haven't tried with afterpay

?

[gentle river]

I haven't tested with Afterpay in the last few weeks or so but don't think I paid close attention to the query params

It looks like redirect_status is only included for some payment method types, not all

[tender jay]

alright. so the only option is to make a call to stripe with the payment_intent to see what the status is?

[gentle river]

Right, that's the safest/most reliable since query params can be manipulated

[tender jay]

ok thanks

can i do that from my frontend client?
