hello @dim nimbus! why are you defining the stripe.api_key 5 times in the first screenshot?
dim nimbus
arent these separate unique stripe api keys for secret key, publishable key, account id, webhook and stripe api version?
noble vine
okay, but right now, you've defined a variable as stripe.api_key and at each line in the first screenshot, you're assigning a different value to stripe.api_key.
if you log stripe.api_key after each assignment line, you'll get a different value for stripe.api_key. I don't think that's what you want
stripe.api_key is supposed to be the secret key which starts with sk_....
dim nimbus
ok, made the necessary steps, as well for "sk_test_...",however onboarding page still does not load
noble vine
when you say onboarding page - do you mean the Connect Onboarding page?
dim nimbus
yes
noble vine
have you created the account link? https://stripe.com/docs/api/account_links/create
dim nimbus
yes
noble vine
can you share the code snippet of that section? and how you're returning the link?
dim nimbus
kindly rephrase, don't quite understand the question >> " and how you're returning the link? "
noble vine
you mentioned the onboarding page still does not load - how are you attempting to load the onboarding page?
noble vine
can you check if the url is being returned in your frontend, and whether there are any errors in your developers console?
noble vine
your application / website
dim nimbus
frontend is the html?
noble vine
do you have a website which users access in order to onboard with you (as the platform)? If yes, then you'll need to check on the page on your website where you expect your users to be on, when they are redirected to the Stripe Connect Onboarding page
noble vine
i'm assuming that the users will click on Setup payments on Stripe button, and you're expecting them to be redirected to Stripe Connect Onboarding page?
dim nimbus
yes
noble vine
can you check whether the call to your server returns the Stripe Connect Onboarding url successfully?
dim nimbus
is the checking done on my stripe account?
noble vine
you will need to open the developer tools
then navigate the the network tab
find the request which is supposed to return the url
dim nimbus
noble vine
you'd probably know better than me which one is the correct request, if you click on the relevant request, you should be able to see the response
are you getting the account_link_url back?
dim nimbus
I dont see "account_link_url back" anywhere
noble vine
then you would want to ensure that when clicking on the button -> an API request is made to your server -> which then returns the account_link_url
dim nimbus
you're referring to your previous reply ".... click on Setup payments on Stripe button......" ?
as button that must return the account_link_url?
noble vine
clicking on the button needs to initiate the request
and the request needs to receive the response
dim nimbus
copy, though why doesn't the url render the onboarding page?
noble vine
you need the url to be passed back and then redirect your user to that url
if your server isn't telling the browser the information, the browser wouldn't know where it needs to go to
dim nimbus
is there a video of this so I can better visualize what it means to "to be passed back "?
noble vine
i think you'll probably want to better understand how requests and responses work in general. Searching online might yield some results, I haven't looked at any tutorials or guides for this before so I don't have any recommendations unfortunately
noble vine
no, that doesn't have any requests or responses involved
dim nimbus
I was thinking Rachel of https://glitch.com/@t.s.m.rachel can demo a separate one that does indeed do requests or responses
? @noble vine
viral wraith
my colleague had to step away, catching up..
dim nimbus
copy, thanks for the heads up @viral wraith
viral wraith
what are you currently blocked on and the specific question you have?
dim nimbus
maybe my question can be addressed upon return some time later
for the meantime I'll proceed to my other 2 items
2 @viral wraith @noble vine which one here https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/search/?q=+requests+or+responses
explains requests or responses?
3 @viral wraith @noble vine
dim nimbus
viral wraith
not sure what that means. So it's just placeholder for whatever your actual business/site is?
dim nimbus
yes placeholder
viral wraith
got it.
ok so that screenshot is about webhooks, which is a related concept but doesn't seem relevant to the other stuff you're talking about so let's ignore that for now.
again, what is your current blocker and problem?
dim nimbus
ok
viral wraith
what are you trying to do and what result do you get versus what you expect to see?
dim nimbus
again, what is your current blocker and problem?
2 @viral wraith @noble vine which one here https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/search/?q=+requests+or+responses
Alex said to do some reading on requests or responses
dim nimbus
what are you trying to do and what result do you get versus what you expect to s...
I'm willing to wait for Alex to explain this upon return
dim nimbus
ok
viral wraith
I don't think the Flask docs are a good place to start, you probably want something more like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP or https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/http-basics-d86fbf8107ec for example.
or if you're comfortable with all that and have a specific question you're stuck on, happy to try to help.
dim nimbus
I don't think the Flask docs are a good place to start, you probably want someth...
will read this then
moving on, should I retain or otherwise, what the endpoints should be listening for?
this is not what's causing the url not to render the onboarding page?
viral wraith
those are webhooks so no I don't they have any relevance here for now
dim nimbus
ok
viral wraith
what does 'the url not to render the onboarding page' mean? can you show me the page you're working on and the error or so on you see?
dim nimbus
@viral wraith I'm expecting this to onboarding page to render
last is
hopefully maybe Rachel https://glitch.com/@t.s.m.rachel can have a demo site to help visualize "requests or responses"
viral wraith
no idea who that is or what you mean so, moving on...
dim nimbus
ok, moving on
viral wraith
I don't understand your screenshot. It's one of our examples
what is .com/onboard-user exactly? something you are building?
dim nimbus
@viral wraith yes
@noble vine hopefully maybe Rachel https://glitch.com/@t.s.m.rachel can have a demo site to help visualize "requests or responses"
viral wraith
please stop tagging my colleague, as I said, moving on.
viral wraith
<@!844898410389438535> yes
so what code have you written? can you share what you wrote and what part you're stuck on?
dim nimbus
please stop tagging my colleague, as I said, moving on.
I see the profile status as online
viral wraith
so what code have you written? can you share what you wrote and what part you're stuck on?
viral wraith
the decorum is we answer your technical questions.
so what code have you written? can you share what you wrote and what part you're stuck on?
so far you've shared code from https://github.com/stripe-samples/connect-onboarding-for-express/blob/83f5776f/server/python/server.py . So I assume you are trying to adapt that or deploy it on your own server, or something along those lines?
dim nimbus
the decorum is we answer your technical questions.
I'll end it here for now. I'll just return at a later time and just link this thread
viral wraith
ok I'll make sure to tell my colleagues!
