Hello, I'm currently facing the problem, that i cannot get the product id from the checkout.sesssion.completed data, is there a way to attach this id to the webhook event?

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

Since line_items (which contains the product(s)) isn't expanded by default, you'll need to make an api call to retrieve the line items: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/line_items

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

The parameter to pass is the session.completed id?

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:22 PM

#

cs_ id

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 4:23 PM

#

I got it, but it doesn't respond with the product id, it's responding with a list id.

#

Ahhh, my fault, it's inside the price object i guess, sorry ^^

#

The product name ist not included as I can see, is there a way to get it?

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

product is expandable, so yeah

#

https://docs.stripe.com/expand

#

You'd need to expand data.price.product when listing the line items

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

Im struggleing to expand it, i used the session id, but i think i used the wrong request string, which one would be valid?

#

data.object.price.product?

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

Should be data.price.product

#

Is that not working

#

Can you share the request id?

real hornetBOT Jan 15, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

let product = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(event.data.object.id, {expand: ['data.price.product']})
event.data.object.id = chekout session completed id

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

Oh you used the wrong api endpoint

#

That's for retrieving checkout session

#

Which only retrieves the line items

#

You can do it with that endpoint, but the expand clause will be different since it's nested further in

#

Try

  event.data.object.id,
  {expand: ['data.price.product']}
);```

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 4:56 PM

#

I got it, thank you for your help 🙂

visual falcon Jan 15, 2025, 4:57 PM

#

No problem!

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:08 PM

#

One more question, if the payment_intent is null at the checkout.session.completed event, how to get the payment method, the customer used for this session?

#

I guess expanding smth right? 😂

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:09 PM

#

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

#

Can you give me an example Event ID so I can take a look?

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:10 PM

`// Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production.
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_51QhBihHFUFRS6hPEeQikTxDnKytfyDA6M7ovVK7s3zXKIg6r4NLXGEJAqSP7Jxh6DlEjKZCHRiztbevkO9wlSzHa00OnyUvz0c');

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(
'{{SESSION_ID}}',
{
expand: ['payment_intent.payment_method'],
}
);`
Just like you documented i guess

#

But it's kind of weird, that this information needs to be fetched afterwards

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

Ah, this Checkout Session is in subscription mode, so it doesn't have a Payment Intent directly associated with it. Instead, it has a subscription. That Subscription will have a latest_invoice, and that Invoice will have a payment_intent.

#

The short video here might be worth a watch to help you get a feel for how everything fits together: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/tour#payment-objects

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

So I can expand the invoice to get the payment_intent?

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

So, instead of expanding payment_intent.payment_method it sounds like you would want to expand subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent.payment_method

#

Yep!

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

Is this valid: let paymentIntent = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(event.data.object.id, {expand: ['invoice.payment_intent']}); ?

#

Invoice is expandable but waht about the intent if I use the current session?

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

strong aspen Ah, this Checkout Session is in `subscription` mode, so it doesn't have a Paymen...

Or is it impossible in cause of this

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

Yeah, you could do it that way too if you don't want any of the Subscription info.

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

And I guess I need to extend the payment method again to get the method? Like PayPal etc?

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

Yes.

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

You wrote it already, sorry..

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

No worries!

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

Is it not recommended to use multiple "retrieve" or "listLineItems" requests, is there a smarter way or is it just fine?

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

Not sure I understand. Not recommended by whom?

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

In general in cause of request flooding.

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

Just to make sure I understand, you're receiving checkout.session.completed Events, and when that happens you want to fetch the line items, Product info, and payment information, correct? If so, you need to make the requests to retrieve the information that's not in the Event when you receive it. There's no other way for you to get the data.

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

I gotchu

#

Is the customer.subscription.deleted event fired, if the recurring payment cannot proceed?

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

No, that Event is only fired if the Subscription is canceled.

#

Have a look here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-events

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:52 PM

#

But it's fired if the sub gets canceled in cause of the auto canceling if the payment can not proceed within the timeperiod set?

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

If that's how you have it configured, yes. But not everyone has Subscriptions configured to cancel after all payment attempts fail.

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:55 PM

#

Okay, thank you all for ur help, I'm new to stripe ^^

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:55 PM

#

No problem, happy to help!

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:56 PM

#

Is there a kind of "sub.renewed" event, cant find smth about it.

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:57 PM

#

The Subscription will generate a new Invoice every period, so you can listen for the various invoice.* Events.

#

There will also be customer.subscription.updated Events due to the changes on the Subscription itself.

torn cradle Jan 15, 2025, 5:58 PM

#

Yes already thought about this method, okay, should work out, ty again hahahaha

strong aspen Jan 15, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

On the *.updated Events there will be a previous_attributes property so you can see what changed in the update. https://docs.stripe.com/api/events/object#event_object-data-previous_attributes
