here's the backend code i tried out (but doesn't work)

[hot skiff]

hello! sorry i'm a little confused, what doesn't work specifically for the above code snippet you shared?

what does a stripe checkout bar mean? Can you share a screenshot?

If you're using a PaymentIntent, the Payment Element is used only to collect the payment method details. The Payment Element itself doesn't display the payment amount and currency. It's up to you to build the logic to display the payment amount and currency on your own site.

i mean the floating bar that shows up when i call presentPaymentSheet in the frontend

[hot skiff]

ah, so you're using our React Native SDK?

[fiery seal]

yes i am

[hot skiff]

are you following this guide? https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=react-native

if so, can you share the rest of your code snippets?

[fiery seal]

yes i am. here's most the code

once i click a button, i call openPaymentSheet to trigger the pop up

[hot skiff]

can you log data? and share what's the output?

[fiery seal]

wait a sec i just found what's wrong. i was testing with indian ruppees and they were worth too less for the transaction

i want to charge different amounts for different currencies. will i have to hard-code set prices on the client?

like i make a dictionary of locations and amounts and just get that info directly

[hot skiff]

like i make a dictionary of locations and amounts and just get that info directly

pretty much, yes

i wouldn't hardcode it on the frontend though, this list should be stored on your backend

[fiery seal]

oh ok. what if i want to charge the user based on the number of events they selected on the frontend? since we're already calling initializepaymentsheet on the first state which sets the price, how can i alter this price to reflect the users selection later on?

wait can i actually init payment sheet only when the user clicks checkout?

[hot skiff]

you should be presenting the payment sheet only when the user clicks on checkout

[fiery seal]

it might take longer to load but is that the way?

[fiery seal]

should i also only initpaymentsheet and call the backend when checkout's clicked?
