@fluid scarab you might want to look at Payment Links if you literally just want a URL to a pre-configured Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-links

[fluid scarab]

how am I able to make a payment link?

my bad if my question was confusing

[warped basalt]

Have you looked at the docs?

[fluid scarab]

I want to make a session for the portal through the API

[fluid scarab]

I have but it's a bit confusing

[warped basalt]

what is "a session for the portal through the API"

[fluid scarab]

stripe.sessions.create()

[warped basalt]

What we call the portal is the Customer Portal which is a completely different product

[fluid scarab]

by portal I mean like yeah the customer portal

[warped basalt]

If you create a Session yourself there's a url returned on that resource that you can redirect to

lol

I'm lost now sorry

The Customer Portal and Checkout are completely separate products, and incompatible, they do different things

[fluid scarab]

this yeah

got it

thank you :)

[fluid scarab]

oh and another thing (if you know)

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
                line_items: [
                  {
                    price: '25000',
                    quantity: 1,
                  },
                ],
                payment_method_types: [
                  'card',
                  'acss_debit',
                  'ideal',
                ],
                mode: 'payment',
                success_url: '/success',
                cancel_url: '/cancel',
              });

When I console.log "session"

it returns nothing

as well as session.url

am I doing something wrong?

[warped basalt]

Try console.log(JSON.stringify(session)); instead maybe?

[fluid scarab]

oh actually

getting: No such price: '25000'

[warped basalt]

ah so you forgot to handle errors really https://stripe.com/docs/api/errors and also didn't really read the docs :p

price is supposed to be an existing Price object in your Stripe account, like price_123456 that you need to create first

[fluid scarab]

ahh okay

super sorry 😅 - first time working with stripe

[warped basalt]

totally fine

just take the time to read through the docs for a few minutes as we show real end to end examples

[fluid scarab]

https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/create

this is the docs for creating prices right?

or is it a manual thing?

not through the api

in the dashboard

[warped basalt]

you can do it in the Dashboard yes

[fluid scarab]

ah alright

I also had this:

export const createPrice = async (
    name: string,
    amount: number,
    tierId: string
) =>
    stripe.prices.create({
        unit_amount: amount,
        currency: 'cad',
        metadata: {
            tier_id: tierId,
        },
        recurring: {interval: 'month'},
        product_data: {name},
    });

[warped basalt]

sure

[fluid scarab]

on the dashboard, where would I create the price?

just curious

[warped basalt]

@fluid scarab what have you tried?

A Price is associated with a Product

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/products is where you'd do this

[fluid scarab]

so in this case price would be "ID"?

[warped basalt]

no, that's a Product you need a Price

One Product represents what you sell, for example a Netflix basic subscription and it can have N prices, for example one per currency

[fluid scarab]

Ohh

I see yeah

got it alright

[warped basalt]

yep that's the one!

[fluid scarab]

when I redirect to the session url with session.url I receive "Not a valid URL" and when I console log session I still get nothing

but there are logs

that it's posting to the route

but what I receive is nothing

[warped basalt]

I'm sorry, I'm happy to help but I need more details and you likely want to debug things for a few seconds first

right now you seem to have copy-pasted a Price id and then an error and said "doesn't work"
