👋 happy to help
terse dust
hello
just an fyi, this thread contains additional info
I came up with a solution and want to consult with you
fast patrol
if you want to use capture_method: 'manual' on the backend
you also need to pass https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_without_intent#stripe_elements_no_intent-options-captureMethod manual on the FE
terse dust
then I update it manually
elements.update({
mode: 'payment',
paymentMethodTypes: allowAffirm ? ['card', 'affirm'] : ['card'],
amount: formatPlatformPayPrice(amount),
captureMethod: isManualCapture ? 'manual' : 'automatic',
});
yes that's also one way to do it
terse dust
I have a lot of payment flows, I use shared component for them
fast patrol
ok
terse dust
so heres the thing
when a user uses Google pay or Apple pay I need to retrieve his billing address from Gpay first, then I pass that address along with other user form data to my backend.
so I render the form with no client secret
if the given payment flow urlshould use manual_capture - I update the stripe form
user fills out stripe payment element form and clicks submit
then I do await elements.submit();
then await stripe.createConfirmationToken({ elements });
then retrieve billing address and send it to my BE
BE returns clientSecret and payment intent id
I confirm PI with the confirmation token I created
sometimes this doesn't work, like in 5% of our payments.
I want to create a sefeguard, where if the payment failed I'll re-create confirmation token and re-confirm the payment intent.
what do you think?
fast patrol
when a user uses Google pay or Apple pay I need to retrieve his billing address from Gpay first, then I pass that address along with other user form data to my backend.
but they get automatically sent via the confirmation token
terse dust
yes, I retrieve billing address from confirmation token, correct
terse dust
sometimes this doesn't work, like in 5% of our payments.
I want to create a sefe...
let me know if you have any concerns for this approach
terse dust
let me explain
so the thing is sometimes the payment element is not being updated with needed capture method properly.
in this case I want to do following:
re-update elements like this again: elements.update({ captureMethod: 'manual' });
re-create confirmation token like this: stripe.createConfirmationToken({ elements })
re-confirm the payment intent using fresh and properly configured confirmation token
fast patrol
I'm not sure that's necessary
you can instead wait for the update-end event https://docs.stripe.com/js/element/events/on_update_end
before creating the Confirmation Token
terse dust
will try
basicaly is it ok to create multiple confirmation tokens from the same single elements?
fast patrol
I think so, yes, never tried it before though
terse dust
these confirmatino tokens won't be saved anywhere, right?
terse dust
sorry, I meant, if I create 4 confirmation tokens, but confirm payment intent using the only one. the only one will be saved ot 4?
fast patrol
they create a ctoken_xxx object https://docs.stripe.com/api/confirmation_tokens
terse dust
I see
even if i don't use it , confirmation token will be saved anyways, got it
is possible to not save them, just wondering if there is such an option. I think not, right?
fast patrol
no
terse dust
is it possible to check which capture method was used while creating a confirmation token?
fast patrol
yes
terse dust
ok, thank you!
fast patrol
you can check the elements object
