@tame egret I'm confused, if the session is cancelled there's nothing to redirect to.

[tame egret]

hm

so when user click this <- Back, the session is dead and there's no way to get back to it?

I mean I am retrieving the session and there's something in there. So is there a way to get back to this session?

[brave trellis]

Ah that's a completely different flow okay

if they click that button they just go back to your cancel_url but no the Session is not canceled, in that case you can always redirect them to the same URL you did the first time

[tame egret]

uhmmmm how

when user clicks buy now it goes to stripe.session.create

[brave trellis]

How do you send a customer to Checkout today in the first place?

[tame egret]

yes

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({ // stuff )}
res.send(session.url)

and so client redirects to this url

but when I do stripe.session.retrieve({{session_id}}) I can't see url property in there

[brave trellis]

huh

let me check

[tame egret]

it's null

[brave trellis]

I just tested and it's right there for me

Is the session already expired/canceled for real? What's the Session's status?

[tame egret]

I guess I am dumb enough to do so

[brave trellis]

that Session has already been successfully paid, there's no reason to redirect the customer to it

[tame egret]

I know.... I see. That's why I said I am dumb enough

I was trying to build a cancel page using the object of completed session

[brave trellis]

ah gotcha, nothing dumb there, there are many parts of the API to look at that are inter-related but not well documented 😅

[tame egret]

basically the same session I was using for building success page

[brave trellis]

makes sense!
