👋 happy to help
languid heron
can we open zoom together?

500 internal server errors means that your code is failing at processing the event that was received
languid heron
the paymnt is completed .put the cemplete event is catching this error .what can i do
s cart: JSON.stringify(req.body.cartItems),
^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'cart'. and also the user._id from the front end seems to be not reaching the backend.right?
wraith mauve
yes because this request isn't sent by your frontend
this is a request that is sent by Stripe
that doesn't contain your context
languid heron
so what should i do .
i will send you the code
just a minute
these are the index and the stripe file .which has all the needed backend code .
and this is the front end code
i have been seaching for the bug for days
wraith mauve
@languid heron please read this https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/fulfillment
languid heron
so the bug in the fulfillment part?
wraith mauve
it seems so
languid heron
i dont have a fulfillment part. only the session create and the webhook underit
wraith mauve
what I suggest is logging the error message as the body response to your webhook endpoint code, and then when you receive an event you can check the error message on your stripe dashboard
the fulfillment = webhooks

Checkout Session was completed! cs_test_a1mSVCDiBfWInYYoJwcUdFDZsB6Ool0OgXbAUtIhHF10A4CQxVSbDynxAo
Session metadata: {}
Error saving order to database: Order validation failed: userId: Path userId is required.
and this from the events page HTTP status code
500 (Internal Server Error)
Internal Server Error
and the starange tehat there is a userId path. iam really confused
line 130 in stripe.js.
i first tried to take it from the req.body
but i had the same error . so i moved to customer.metadata.userId; . and its the same
wraith mauve
it seems that your customer.metadata.userId is not being set...
is the userId saved in the session? or how are you passing it from your frontend?
languid heron
axios
.post(${url}/stripe/create-checkout-session, {
cartItems,
userId: user._id,
})
wraith mauve
it seems in your frontend user._id is empty
languid heron
with the request
i consoleloged it . its in the component before the request is made
i tried to change it to 12345 for debugging. but i faced the same error
pls take a look at my code an check if there is any bug.
wraith mauve
I can't help you debug your code unfortunately
languid heron
Received userId: testUserId123
Webhook signature verification failed. Webhook payload must be provided as a string or a Buffer (https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) instance representing the raw request body.Payload was provided as a parsed JavaScript object instead.
Signature verification is impossible without access to the original signed material.

app.use(express.json()); // Parse JSON request bodies
app.use("/api/stripe", stripeRoutes);
here is the bug. when butting app.use("/api/stripe", stripeRoutes); under app.use(express.json()); // Parse JSON request bodies .the checkout page appears.
but in this case the webhook will not work
beacuse express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),.
so how to fix this?
wraith mauve
you need to pass this app.post('/webhook', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (request, response) => {
languid heron
its already like this .
wraith mauve
but don't put it in the same router as /api/stripe
it shouldn't be part of your API
it should be a separate service
that is declared before app.use(express.json())
languid heron
so i should put the sebhook in another route, and above the app.use(express.json()); .right?
languid heron
i will try it now. hopefully will work'
wraith mauve
that would be even better
languid heron
great idea. i will try it now.
