Hi!

hi

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

Could you specify what form or element you are using? Do you mean Stripe Checkout?

#

we need to automate this process and prefill our clients card details and do the checkout automatically

#

Quoting here so we have all the contect

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:07 PM

#

yes stripe checkout

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

Great, thanks.

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

let me explain our case in detail

#

we have a PWA web app

#

and we are using a form to store our clients card details in his phone local storage

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

Okay so you won't be able to pre-fill the Checkout form with that data.

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

what we need is when it comes to checkout, we need to pull this info from local storage and fill your payout form

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

You CAN set up the Checkout session to save the payment method and that will prefill the next time the customer uses Checkout.

#

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

yes but we also want this form to auto submit

#

we do not want any user interaction, is that possible?

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

This use case doesn't really fit the Checkout product workflow. Can you describe what your ideal payment flow would look like?

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:18 PM

#

very simple

#

we ask our client his email and then ask him to pay a specific amount, then we move him directly to checkout

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

So what point in this workflow are you collecting the payment information.

#

?

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

at the moment during checkout using your payment form

#

we dont need our client to see this process at all

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:24 PM

#

Okay, that is a legacy checkout product. We do not recommend using it. Here is a guide for migrating: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/migration

#

However, if I am understanding you right, you want your customers to only see this once where they enter their card information and then have it all automatic after that. Right?

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

yes

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

Okay so first step, you'll still want to configure your Checkout session (new Checkout, not legacy) to configure the payment intent for future usage as I linked above.

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

ok then?

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

Unfortunately you can't fully automate the process with Checkout. And I know this isn't exactly what you want but I do think it's a good idea to allow the customer to provide new payment information.

#

Sorry, still digging through docs

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

sorry for the trouble but i think am asking a very simple think😆

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

But I think offering the single click pay option does go a long way to reducing friction but still provides the customer the chance to update payment methods if, for instance, they got a new card with better rewards

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:35 PM

#

client is register his card on our system

#

then he fills a box with value to pay and thats it !

#

next time he logs in, he only have to fill the payment

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:36 PM

#

So when do they register their card in your system? What does that mean? Do you save the card info yourself?

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

yes

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

So...are you saying you are storing raw card numbers in your own system?

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:38 PM

#

no, the cards are only stored in customers local storage mobile phone

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

Still not clear on exactly what you mean. Raw PANs? GoogePay/ApplePay, kind of curious how this works

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:42 PM

#

dead easy

#

anyway, do you have another alternative ?

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

Well what I would do is use the current version of Checkout, configure it to set up payment methods for future use and allow the customer to save their card, and have them see that screen briefly as they click through the flow.

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

so, there is now way to bypass the PAY NO button?

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

Well... you could store the payment method ID that is generated by the Checkout method and generate a paymentIntent in your code using that same payment. method.

dusty quarry Dec 10, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

ok, thanks for your support

surreal aspen Dec 10, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

Legacy checkout, what you are using in the screenshot, utilizes card tokens https://stripe.com/docs/api/tokens/create_card
and the Charges API https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges

#

This is how you could achieve the same thing but it would be much more brittle and prone to failure IMHO.

#

I know the migrating to a new version of checkout would take some work but you'd be saving yourself a lot of technical debt.
