Hello! Can you tell me more about your integration? You mentioned Checkout and Payment Links... is that what you're using, or are you using something else like Stripe Elements?

Payment Element or something else?

Are you using the deferred flow or are you using the flow where you pass a client secret to your frontend?
lean monolith
client secret to frontend
alpine pulsar
Okay, so what you need to do is pass the amount from your frontend to your backend, then create the Payment Intent with that amount, then send the client secret back to the frontend.
Alternatively, you can also update an existing Payment Intent's amount if you've already passed the client secret to the frontend, then get Elements to pick up the changes by calling elements.fetchUpdates: https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/fetch_updates

ok, but on the backend where i create the payment intent, for the price key, don't i need to put the priceId for the product? or can I submit req.body.value
alpine pulsar
Payment Intents don't use Products or Prices.
Products and Prices are designed to be used with line items on high-level payment objects, like Checkout Sessions or Invoices.
Payment Intents are low-level payment objects that don't have the concept of line items, just a single amount.

oh right, that's good to know - thanks for that
also, i've read up on your help docs about tipping. Is it ok to setup a tipping page for twitch streaming content?
alpine pulsar
I can't speak to what is or isn't okay in that regard, I can only help with technical/developer issues. You can ask support that question, though: https://support.stripe.com/contact/email
lean monolith
