"Hi there. For starters, I'd recommend reading this guide on the PaymentIntent's lifecycle:

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paymentintents/lifecycle

but my question is - why not wait until PaymentIntent success before deducting stock from the database?"

Doesn't paymentIntent success mean the customer successfully paid for the product? The payment may go through without ensuring that there is stock available for the user

Hello
Give me a moment to take a look at your previous thread

mortal sierra
#

Of course, thank you. it was closed before I could respond

#

I was under the impression that if the Payment Succeeded, the user has successfully paid.

In my script, I am running a function to check if the stock exists, deducting the stock, then creating a payment event

void sedge
#

You could do
Check stocks -> if exists, mark one as pending -> create the payment -> payment succeeds -> deduct the stock & if payment fails -> mark the item as available

mortal sierra
#

That is pretty much what I am doing

#

My only concern is that the payment never fails OR succeeds, and the stock is stuck in pending

#

but I can run a job every 15 mintues which closes out the payment intents and restocks if it passes a set duration of time

void sedge
#

You could set a timer on your end. If payment doesn't succeed or fail under let's say an hour, item goes back to inventory and you call the Stripe API to cancel the PaymentIntent

#

yup

mortal sierra
#

Got it, thank you. Just want to confirm if the payment intent is successful, does that mean that the user has successfully paid?

#

Is that when we should credit the user with what they purchased?

void sedge
#

Yup

mortal sierra

Got it, thank you very much this confirms everything I was thinking
