Can you share the request id where you made a charge with the trigger card so I can take a look?

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:30 PM

#

Hi! Will do...

#

I made the charge indirectly through my local setup. I am struggling to find the request id in the new workbench feature. Is the py_XYZ id sufficient?

cyan stone Apr 30, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

Yeah the py id will work

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

py_1RJcTsQ4SvsjYBXfQL0SI7Cc

#

payment intent: pi_3RJcTrPssfy6lA1m2RhyaM4e

cyan stone Apr 30, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

Ah that's a regular destination charge

#

You need to either make a direct charge or destination + on_behalf_of

#

For the trigger actions to work, you must use these cards with a Connect charge by setting on_behalf_of, or creating the charge directly on the connected account.

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

Ah, thank you! This means I probably should add the on_behalf_of property because I did not touch the production code yet.

cyan stone Apr 30, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

Yes you'll need on_behalf_of for this to work

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

I will test it within the next few minutes.

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

Yes, this worked! Thanks a lot!
The documentation is telling me that on_behalf_of will provide sellers information to the customer? Like registered phone numbers? Can I avoid such a behavior?

Hi 👋

I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

Hi @polar chasm ! Thank you @cyan stone !

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

On Behalf Of determines which account is considered the Merchant of Record.

#

This means that account's information is what will be presented to the Customer

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

Can the merchant configure to not publish? Or is it mandatory automatically? Otherwise, I would have to remove on_behalf_of again because our merchants are quite privacy sensitive.

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

This is required. The Customer needs to be able to identify a merchant that is accountable for things like disputes

#

If your Connected Accounts are not willing to share this information with the Customers then you will likely need to not use On Behalf Of and instead use regular Destination Charges, where your Platform is the merchant of record

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

Alright... Thank you very much for the helpful information. A last question about this I remember vaguely. Destination charges with on_behalf_of would be required to enable paypal payments via stripe in Germany, right?

#

This would be a topic to discuss with our team then.

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Where is your Platform Account based?

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Germany

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

Hmmm... Looking here it seems like regular Destination Charges are supported.

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

I am currently adding payment_intent_data only on one-time payments (mode: 'payment') when creating a new checkout session. With subscriptions (mode: 'subscription'), I am doing nothing to indicate a destination charge which probably means these are direct charges.

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:08 PM

#

Okay so you are using Checkout Sessions. Can you share some example request IDs for both payment and subscription scenarios?

They will start with req_

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

req_kufNTVWrHyOJkJ
This is a one-time payment I made following the on_behalf_of adjustment.

#

And this is from a subscription (setup_intent?): req_gyjggKmZfPe03i

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

This is just a setup intent. It has no relationship to a Checkout Session and is being made directly on the Platform

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

POST to /v1/subscriptions req_SGL48iYDzeFg1c
I don't see a second checkout session in the sandbox logs.

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

Okay so the Subscription is being created using normal Destination Charges with the Platform as the merchant of record

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:20 PM

#

Then this would not qualify for PayPal use but the one-time payments would potentially be fine.

#

Sorry, I misread your answer. Those were destination charges.

#

This means in both cases PayPal would be possible to offer when not using on_behalf_of with one-time payments. Is this correct?

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

That is my read but I haven't tested it. You should be able to test this scenario pretty quickly

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:35 PM

#

It's switched on in my sandbox with info ("requires approval") although it does not show up on the Stripe-hosted checkout page (checkout.stripe.com).

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

That sounds like it's not enabled yet (since it "requires approval"). Can you share the Checkout session ID where it does not appear?

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

req_eUXR7HP5o2BhkY

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

You are specifying the Payment Method Types in your API requests:

payment_method_types: {
    0: "card",
    1: "sepa_debit",
    2: "giropay",
  },

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

That was stupid of me. You are right 🙂

#

Sorry

#

#

There are more things to do to get this up and running. But it looks like it's doable.

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

Great. I'm glad that's working for you

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

Thank you very much for your support! I wish you all the best. 🙂

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:43 PM

#

Happy to help 🙂 It's why we're here.

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

Could it be that there is no "onboarding request to PayPal" in Sandbox mode?

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

Are you referring to the Continue to PayPal step we outline here?

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 4:56 PM

#

I do not see the "settlement preference" where I would continue with the configuration after turning PayPal on.

Bildschirmfoto_2025-04-30_um_18.56.16.png

polar chasm Apr 30, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

I don't think that is required while in a Sandbox (test mode) account based on this language in our doc

When you’re ready to go live, follow the steps to activate PayPal payments.

torn orbit Apr 30, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

Okay, I will postpone this issue. Thanks again, and have a nice day 🙂 Bye!
