Hello
The steps you've outlined make sense.
I'm not sure what you mean by
Is there a way to get the paymentIntent code for my database
finite yoke
Like before the confirmation, after the confirmation etc?
tiny raptor
I am usually limited by how you guys handle things.
Ideally I would do it before confirmation
Ideally I could get it via invoice
finite yoke
The invoice will create a PaymentIntent when it's finalized. So you can expand confirmation secret when you receive invoice.finalized webhook event and split the client-secret by "secret" text to find the PaymentIntent ID
OR you can look up Invoice Payment object for an invoice - https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoice-payment/list
and look at payment parameter
tiny raptor
As I outlined above, I am able to get the PaymentIntent secret immediately upon creating the subscription correct? Can I not do a direct look up using the secret?
finite yoke
When you say a direct look up, what do you mean? I don't really grasp the flow you're describing so asking to be on the same page
You don't get PaymentIntent until you do
That will return latest_invoice, which I can lookup the invoice with expanding confirmation_secret
tiny raptor
I would like to get the paymentIntent.id before confirmation if possible
finite yoke
so it's not a direct "look up"
Okay let me take a step back.. The steps you've outlined in the original message
1/ Create Product + Price
2/ Create Subscription
3/ Retrieve latest_invoice while expanding confirmation_secret
4/ Use the client-secret to confirm the Payment client-side
The above makes complete sense
Then you're asking about
Is there a way to get the paymentIntent code for my database
...
paymentIntent.id
...
Ideally I would do it before confirmation
Ideally I could get it via invoice
....
A client-secret is usually a combination of the PaymentIntent object ID + a secret value..
For example: pi_12345_secret_ABCDEFG
So you could just split the string using "secret" term (quick and dirty implementation)
However, It would break if Stripe changes the format of client-secret at any point
tiny raptor
Ok.
Thank you for explaining everything
So after I get the #3 completed...can I do another query to get the paymentntent.id ?
Is Invoice Payment object available at that time?
finite yoke
You can.. Since Invoice isn't directly associated with a PaymentIntent in the latest API version, you'd need to look at Invoice Payment object.
I think so, I haven't tested it myself but you can give it a try in test mode to be 100% certain
I see payments are also an expandable field on an Invoice. So you can try expanding payments as well - https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payments
either of the options would work
tiny raptor
Ok...I was actually just setting that
I don't think that is going to have data
Sorry one second
Ok...subscription doesn't accept a payment_method
Oh man...so can I not use payment_methods?
finite yoke
Do you mean you want to provide an existing Payment Method object (pm_xxx) OR do you mean payment method types the customer can use to pay the invoice?
tiny raptor
An existing payment_method (entered via elements) or saved to an customer
finite yoke
You can pass it as default_payment_method when you create the subscription - https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-default_payment_method
