Hello, what issues are you having?

#

If there is not a customer ID, you can only prefill their email I believe

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

I cannot find anything to send Data from my site to the checkout to create a user against. i have a Name I want to save to reference a discord user

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

Though if you have those, you can create a customer object with them and pass the ID of that in

#

To preset the email you can pass it in to the customer_email parameter and if you have a Customer object for them you can pass the Customer ID in to the customer parameter

#

This is for the session creation call https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

#

So there is no way to set their name to their username from my site?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

You can set that on the customer object if you want

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

But when I dont have a customer object, how can I do that?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

But keep in mind, the name in the Checkout Session is supposed to be the name on the card

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

Nevermind then, can I set a customer nickname?

#

Or just use that method through my website alone?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

You can set it as metadata on the customer https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-metadata

#

Not sure I understand your second question. Can you rephrase?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:25 PM

#

Ok but how do I set customer metadata within the session

#

In checkout...

#

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

Unfortunately that can't be done with the Checkout Session. But if you are already server-side making calls and have this info, you can create a Customer object with that data and pass in its ID to the Session::create call

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

I dont... I have only the checkout session made...

#

So I am assuming that they would have to provide the email and username themselves and then i can collect the ID and store it against their website user account instead

#

The only issue I have then is, within the success URL how would I call the response to get the ID?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Yes that data would have to be collected outside of the session unfortunately. It might make sense to have your flow request that information upfront so you can have it when you need it

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

How do I get information such as customer ID response from the session within the success url?

#

Do I need to swap one time payments to webhooks?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

You can add session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID} to the Session's success_url, when your customer gets redirected to that, the session's ID will filled out so you can use that to look up the session's info https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/custom-success-page

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

Yes, thank you.

#

Do i just put the {CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID} in as I have some php objects in it

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

Put it in where?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

the url...

#

I assume it is this?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

Yep, that will work

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

So this should be fine then?

#

And this should be how I retrieve the customer?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

That looks good to me. Have you tried running it?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 3:13 PM

#

I just swapped to test

#

It doesnt work

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

Which part goes wrong?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

I dont know as there is no error shown, it just isnt redirecting. And I have a customer ID in my database...

#

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

Can you see if it is getting to the end of your server side code that tries to redirect?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

hmm

#

I can try

#

#

#

#

#

Yeah, still erroring but now I can see an error.

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 3:27 PM

#

So what line is that json parse error happening on?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

No clue just checking

#

It isnt even echoing the result

#

Its to do with how I contruct the stripe session

#

#

Ok fixed that issue... But it isnt showing any customer info

#

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 3:39 PM

#

What was the customer ID that you supplied?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 3:40 PM

#

I am using my live version as I have my ID from when I was last a customer

#

cus_KhfzKiBmXMI12G

#

pi_3K2HJiEOJsqRXL0R0IlQQZQY shows no customer

#

Neither of these are showing

#

I noticed that when I pass in the actual customer ID and Email it fails. But when I remove the [0] from userDB and customerDB it doesnt actually show results

#

To get customer ID I have to do $customerDB[0]['stripeID']

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

The request I see for the session that created pi_3K2HJiEOJsqRXL0R0IlQQZQY did not pass the customer ID in as a param https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_84zSX1b0Y9HbPr

#

How is it failing when you pass in the customer ID?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:03 PM

#

#

if I remove the [0] it passes in nothing

#

and works

#

it is completely the issue of customer ID when it is passed in as a string.

#

'customer' => $customerDB[0]['stripeID'], is this how to set customer?

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

Should be. Can you try just using the string literal 'cus_123' and see if that works?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

ok

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

Also you should only have to pass in either customer or customer_email

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

yes just passed in customer ID and it worked

#

Why isnt it working with the db access?

#

I had to set the database value to a variable instead of using the $customerDB array itself

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

Nice! So when you set the value like that, it is all working?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

YES

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:21 PM

#

Looks fine to me

#

Removed that screenshot because it has your secret key in it. This is a public channel so we don't want other people taking/using your secret key

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

yep forgot about that lol

#

Something in here has stopped my entire return page from working

#

Something in this breaks the page

📎 message.txt

#

#

#

Basically a success and cancel didnt work

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

So you are getting redirected and then what happens on your server?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

nothing

#

its not even processing anything

#

Yeah I put an echo at every step and the page is not loading them

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

So the browser is getting redirected but you aren't seeing your server get hit at all?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

nope

supple axle Dec 2, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

If you open the browser console do you see any errors?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

catching up here one sec @mellow pawn

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

mellow pawn Something in this breaks the page

Its this code causing my entire response from checkout not to work.

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

that is a 500 returned from your backend endpoint, no?

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

yes

#

So there is something in my code causing the error and I cannot find it nor can my debug tool

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

ok could you summarize your question then? a 500 from your own code would be something you debug on your end

#

add additional log statements

#

and step through your code

#

until you find it hits line X but not Y

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

There is no echo to the page

#

I tried to log errors

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

there should be a crash/exception in your server-side logs

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

There isnt

#

I just have the things in concole.

#

fixed it...

#

i forgot a .

#

@split cedar Just got an error with this code

#

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 5:13 PM

#

ah great!

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

Why is the retrieved information not showing?

#

ffs... autocomplete doesnt know the stripe api and put session before customer when there isnt a retrieved variable of session that has a variable of customer in it.

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

yeah autocomplete can make things hard like that

#

or lack of

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

Ok that is everything with that session. Now to replicate it for subscriptions. Thanks anyways.

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

np

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

I assume that once someone changes something on portal it is fine?

#

And any changes to the subscription go to the webhook for subscriptions?

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

can you rephrase, not sure I understand

mellow pawn Dec 2, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

I have subscription set up to customer portal. Any changes they make are handled by the subscription webhook and I dont need to handle any returned portal data outside of the webhook correct?

split cedar Dec 2, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

can you explain? not sure I understand your question
