Hi there! You can't manipulate a PaymentIntent's status directly
and canceled is a terminal state
signal pagoda
Ohk, can you please tell me how we can fix this and not get this error
wraith cape
So you created this PaymentIntent and then confirmed it and then it became canceled 7 days later
And then you tried to capture it after that, but it is already canceled. So there are sort of two quesitons - how do you prevent that scenario and how do you react to that scenario
signal pagoda
Yes
wraith cape
As far as prevention, I think this is probably cancelled because the authorization is only good for 7 days, but let me check on that
Yeah that seems to be correct
If you need to hold an authorization for longer than 7 days, you can see these documents:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method#auth-capture-limitations
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/extended-authorization
As far as recovering from this situation, you can preempt by listening to the payment_intent.canceled webhook events (https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_3TKgsXPXKItCHxUU0swhBSfr)
We give you a cancellation_reason in that event
But ultimately you'll need to proceed by creating a new PaymentIntent. If you know the amount you want to capture at that point you can just create and confirm a PaymentIntent in a single API call by passing confirm: true - see our api reference
signal pagoda
And what should be the value of confirmation_method
wraith cape
you would omit it
signal pagoda
Got it
So just pass the confirm true and that should automatically capture as well, right?
wraith cape
Yep; automatic capture is the default on the PaymentIntents api. You only get manual capture by explicitly requesting it
