Hi 👋
Can you share the code you are using to call createAffirm?
eternal bridge
When I set name="LeBron James", it can be pulled up normally, but when I assign Ray, the Affirm page cannot be pulled up.
I am using a test environment
ivory turtle
The parameters you are passing are basically what we describe in our API reference. In this case the name attribute is a full name as our API ref mentions here. Because of this, there is a validation requiring at least two names (given & surname).
eternal bridge
OK, thanks
I also found that the document (https://docs.stripe.com/payments/affirm/accept-a-payment?payment-ui=direct-api#web-test-integration) does not provide an account number. When I pull up the affirm payment page, the page asks me to enter a phone number, but I don’t have a test account. How do I get a test account?
ivory turtle
No because it's up to the Customer to authenticate with Affirm. The merchant integration does not provide the account number. Ass for authenticating, the only advice we have is
When redirected to the Affirm sandbox, Affirm may ask for the last four digits of your SSN. Affirm suggests using '0000' or '5678'.
eternal bridge
The page I entered is like this. Isn't this the page for the sandbox environment?
ivory turtle
That does appear to be the Affirm sandbox. Unfortunately Stripe doesn't control how that appears or what information they request. However, I can ask that we collect test mode phone numbers.
Can you try 10000000000? Just in case
eternal bridge
This doesn't work. I tried to enter a maximum of 9 zeros.
ivory turtle
I'm asking my colleagues. if we know of any test numbers for this.
eternal bridge
okay
ivory turtle
try entering all zeros
you have a 1 at the start
You can see is the banner at the bottom of the screen, they have already shared the test mode code you should use
Can you share the Payment Intent ID?
eternal bridge
How to check Payment Intent ID?
ivory turtle
Okay my colleague just found in Affirms testing doc that you can provide any valid US phone number and this number won't actually be contacted so you don't need access to it.
eternal bridge
The following is 123456. I tried it and also tried entering all 0s, but it didn't work.
ivory turtle
123456 is the confirmation code. As I mentioned, you need to provide a valid US phone number.
eternal bridge
I am debugging a Canadian number now, so I should also use a Canadian number, right?
ivory turtle
The Affirm doc says:
A valid US cell phone number (you do not need access to this number)
We don't control Affirm's sandbox so we have go off what they provide
eternal bridge
okay
Regarding the name parameter, if our customers only leave their first or last name, how should we handle it? Without forcing customers to keep both their first and last name,
ivory turtle
Affirm requires a full name so that is what you need to collect
eternal bridge
I didn’t see this sentence “A valid US cell phone number (you do not need access to this number)” in the document. Could you send me the link to your document?
ivory turtle
A valid US cell phone number (you do not need access to this number) that you will use in all subsequent checkout attempts
It is in the Initiate and Abandon Affirm Payment Flow section
eternal bridge
Verification passed, thank you very much
ivory turtle
Great 🙂 Happy to help
