@solar pier can you share an exact example so I can help you debug?

#

Hey thank you for your reply, what exactly do you need me to provide

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

An exact PaymentIntent id pi_123456 so I can look at what's wrong

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

sure, so here is a payment intent id we tried capturing yesterday and there was a partial refund.

pi_3Pn1JWK8dZuyTTEK1CNaRHIW

#

Here is my usage of the API in zapier:

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

That PaymentIntent was created with amount: 59054 and then you captured it by passing amount_to_capture: 59017
So you explicitly told us to capture less than what you authorized.

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

So the problem is with my calculation for the amount?

#

Okay if I omit passing the amount_to_capture

#

does that solve it?

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

yes if you omit the parameter it will capture the full amount
But I would recommend debugging why your calculation is off. It's pretty important to grasp why you ask for $X and then capture $Y

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

I am using a form to calculate the amount and then I pass it into GoHighLevel. So I will trace it and see where the problem is. For now I will remove amount_to capture

#

Thanks a lot for the help.

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

sure thing!

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

One more thing please

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

sure what's up?

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

When we authorized the same payment intent, was it authorised for 59054 or 59017

#

Because it should have been authorized for 59017

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

the amount was 59054

#

that's what you passed on creation at least

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

Here is the thing:

#

This is how I create the payment intent

#

I am using the same Due Now Variable from GHL

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

Sorry those are really just pictures.

#

All I can tell you is what you are sending in the API and it doesn't look like the amount you think you are passing

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

Understood, but it cannot be because I am using the same variable for creating the payment intent and capturing it.

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

We focus more on helping developers writing their own end to end code here. It looks like you're using some third-party no-code UI and I'm not sure how it works and what it does. But you are not passing the amount you think you are

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

Figured this would be a developer thing even if it's no code UI.
Thanks again for the help.

runic craterBOT Aug 15, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

yeah it totally could be a developer thing, it's just not possible for me to tell you what part of the UI is wrong

#

I can only say what you are sending in the API. You as the developer can try to debug this on your own account, pass a certain amount and confirm it's what you end up setting on the PaymentIntent

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

Yeah, I will be doing that. I will run a few tests on myself and see what happens. My confusion was regarding the part that I am using a variable so I don't know how can the variable change from creating the payment intent to capturing it.

sinful ingot Aug 15, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

yeah that part I can't speak to, maybe your variable is changing between creation and capture and you're misunderstanding how that no-code UI works? Just a guess though

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

Yeah I will trace it and see.
Last question:
If I was not able to trace the change, is there a way I can tell how much a payment intent is for?
I will use Python code and calculate the difference to adjust the amount before capture.

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

Do I use Retrieve a PaymentIntent?

#

Hey thank you, I do appreciate the support.

balmy echo Aug 15, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

If you have the PaymentIntent ID then yes, that would be the API you would use.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/retrieve

#

And if you are using Python we have a very useful Python library
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

Alright, and I would get the amount in the response body? is it in JSON so I can convert it to a dictionary and search for the key?

balmy echo Aug 15, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

No need

#

The Stripe library will return an object so you can just do the following

pi = stripe.PaymentIntent.retrieve('pi_XXXXXXX')
print(pi.amount)

solar pier Aug 15, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

Yeah, we treat payment intent as an object, great!
Thanks a lot, guys, that will be it for now.
