👋 Welcome to your new thread!
⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.
⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

@regal marten we wouldn't put anything on the Customer object so that's entirely expected.

So, how would I pass the info to Stripe from either the Terminal (ideally the name on the credit card), or from the data in-app to populate that field?
ionic rampart
Do you have a concrete PaymentIntent id you can share pi_123
regal marten
pi_3PHTL1ADBq5btLnO15FONZ7l is the top one on this list
if i go INTO the transaction, i see my email address for the customer, but not the Transaction list
where others are showing a name
ionic rampart
That is from 3 months ago. Do you have a clear example that you tried recently?
Are you the developer writing the code end to end here?
regal marten
yes, I'm the developer - the client just brought it up to me, and I don't have access to anything newer ATM (and my terminal is not with me).

here's one from last month
ionic rampart
Okay so let's go with the "theory" instead. When the PaymentIntent succeeds you get a Charge object ch_12345. That will have this property which has the cardholder's name if it's present on the card (it's never guaranteed): https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/object#charge_object-payment_method_details-card_present-cardholder_name
What you can do as the developer is, after the payment, look up that value and then update the Customer object in the API to save their name there.
Does that make sense?
regal marten
So this would be after process-payment?
ionic rampart
yes
regal marten
the ch_123 is in the result?
Public Function fProcessPaymentIntent(ByVal TerminalID As String, ByVal PaymentIntendID As String) As Reader
' https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven#process-payment
' https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/payments/collect-payment?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven#customer-initiated-cancellation
Dim rpi_options = New ReaderProcessPaymentIntentOptions With {
.PaymentIntent = PaymentIntendID,
.ProcessConfig = New Stripe.Terminal.ReaderProcessConfigOptions With {
.EnableCustomerCancellation = True
}
}
Dim rpi_service = New ReaderService()
Dim rpi_result = rpi_service.ProcessPaymentIntent(TerminalID, rpi_options)
Return rpi_result
End Function```no, it's best to use webhooks for this, see https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks and listen for payment_intent.succeeded
regal marten
So, I'm listening to the readeraction:
Private Sub ReaderStatusTimer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ReaderStatusTimer.Tick
Dim currentState As ReaderAction = fGetReaderAction(_TerminalID)
Try
If currentState.Status = "in_progress" Then
ElseIf currentState.Status = "failed" Then
ReaderStatusTimer.Stop()
Dim FailureCode As String = currentState.FailureCode
Dim FailureMessage As String = currentState.FailureMessage
_FailureReason = FailureCode & " -- " & FailureMessage
'lblError.Text = FailureCode & " -- " & FailureMessage
'lblError.Visible = True
TransactionSuccess = False
sCancelTransaction()
Me.Close()
ElseIf currentState.Status = "succeeded" Then
ReaderStatusTimer.Stop()
TransactionSuccess = True
Me.Close()
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub```which is just:
Public Function fGetReaderAction(ByVal TerminalID As String) As ReaderAction
Dim rstate_service = New ReaderService()
Dim result = rstate_service.Get(TerminalID)
Return result.Action
End Function```yeah then listen to payment_intent.succeeded and take action based on that one
ionic rampart
sure thing!
regal marten
I wrote most of this almost 4 months ago, and forgot most of the paths I took to get where it is. the customer just brought it up today.
ionic rampart
haha definitely a common situation on this server 🙂
regal marten
Ok - so say I don't use the cardholder_name that's may or may not be on the card info - is there a way to manually pass that field using payment intent (similar to how the old API does with Stripe.TokenCardOptions)?
ionic rampart
not with Terminal no.
We are working on a beta where you can collect more information on the screen so you could contact our support team to ask to be added to the waitlist maybe?
regal marten
Shy of attaching it to the description, i suppose.
regal marten
We are working on a beta where you can collect more information on the screen so...
I'd be down with that. best way to do that?
ionic rampart
regal marten
ok - I guess the other option would be adding meta fields which may work, too.
I haven't looked yet, but i'm assuming that's possible with Terminal?
or am I limited ot what's availabel no PaymentIntent?
ionic rampart
yes that's possible to pass/add server-side
regal marten
cool - that may be the "easy" option here
