Hi there
hybrid dust
Hi!
random basalt
Yeah so for your Price you want to use custom_unit_amount: https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create#create_price-custom_unit_amount
hybrid dust
Oh great so there is a way! Only that it's serverside but that's not a problem
I was confused since in this page
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/pay-what-you-want?payment-ui=embedded-components
It just straight up says that they're not supported when using Elements, and knowing how customizable stripe is I was thinking surely there must be a way of doing it
random basalt
Oh oh
I missed above you said you were using Embedded components.
Sorry, yeah no custom_unit_amount Prices aren't yet supported with Embedded Components.
So in this case you would want to allow your customer to input the amount and then you would generate a Price for that amount and render Payment Element (with Embedded Components) after that.
You can use price_data to create that Price inline when you create the Checkout Session
hybrid dust
Ah I see, and there is no way of doing this on the go during checkout instead of whenever creating the checkout session?
Or is there perhaps a better way of doing this that I'm not aware of? Because maybe I'm just overcomplicating it
random basalt
If you want to use Embedded Components then no there isn't really a better way than what I just described.
If you don't use Embedded Components -- you either use the Stripe-hosted page or the Embedded form, or you use a custom integration (https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=payment) then you can do this during the checkout flow as your Customer designates the amount.
hybrid dust
Ah fair, yeah I guess that would be easier
The difference here though is that the products aren't managed through stripe, but only the payment no?
random basalt
You mean with the custom integration?
hybrid dust
Yeah
random basalt
Yeah you don't use Products/Prices but you can always set metadata on the PaymentIntent to indicate your own product that was associated.
Just depends on how you want to set it up.
hybrid dust
Okay, good to know, thanks for the help! 🙂
random basalt
Sure thing!
hybrid dust
Sorry, yeah no `custom_unit_amount` Prices aren't yet supported with Embedded Co...
Also, one last thing, you said yet, does that mean that they might be supported on the future or is that uncertain?
random basalt
We hope to bring Embedded Components to parity with our other Checkout flows, yes. But unfortunately I don't have a timeline for when custom_unit_amount might be supported.
hybrid dust
Good to know 🙂 Thanks for the help nonetheless ❤️
