Hi 👋 sorry, but I'm not grasping what your question is from your post, can you elaborate on what is giving you trouble?

#

Is this a new Stripe integration you're building? If so, you shouldn't be creating Charge objects directly.

twin hearth
#

Yes new.
I want to capture charges when made.

#

/v1/charges/:id/capture

#

probably that

#

but also pull in some old ones if possible

I have a set of 4 products specifically that I would like to capture when customers pay for them

#

The objective is to get a spreadsheet that shows customers who pay for parking, so I can have name, contact info and vehicle Registration (custom field)
.. in a spreadsheet

#

time paid for and the product (ie time they paid for)

Charges are soft-deprecated at this point, which is why I don't recommend integrating directly against them.

If you want to be made aware of activity in your Stripe account as it is happening, you want to set up a webhook endpoint:
https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks

Where are you storing the information you need within your Stripe account? Have you looked at an example of a Charge object from your testing and ensured it has all the information you need?

#

I couldn't get the endpoint to do anything, 404 errors.

I've only ever used Discord web hooks, Not sure where I'd start with creating one.

#

I was looking at the API as I have a bit more experience with that, even if it's just processing them.

You need a public endpoint to receive events yes

twin hearth
#

And then essentially that URL passes everything?

white jolt
#

Not a page

#

The stripe dashboard didn't give me a web hook URL

#

But it did help create code

white jolt
#

I don't understand your questin

#

YOU have to create your webhook url

#

On your server

twin hearth
#

And the dashboard just helps me create the code

white jolt
#

The dashboard doesn't create any code

#

You can create the webhook endpoint via the dashboard

twin hearth
#

Okay, I guess I'll have to look at it again.
I have a feeling web hooks maybe a bit beyond me

white jolt
#

Fair enough. Are you a dev?

#

Or new to dev?

twin hearth
#

I make websites, Discord servers, and a few Discord bots with basic code

#

I help run a not-for-profit friendly society.
We make a bit of money from parking charges in our car park and I was hoping to get the information from stripe into a spreadsheet

#

I had used zapier but they don't bring the custom fields in

white jolt
#

The goal is to do this as charges succeed?

twin hearth
#

Correct

white jolt
#

Like when a charge succeeds, you want to automatically, programatically add it to a spreadsheet?

twin hearth
#

Yes, exactly, it may be beneficial to capture them when they fail

white jolt
#

Yeah webhooks are what you need, really

twin hearth
#

But we aren't going to be chasing people or trying to fine them

twin hearth

I appreciate all your help
