Unfortunately I don't think it is possible for you to look payments up that way. Do you have the ID for the payment intent or something?

#

our use case is to check on status of requests that we didn't get response on
without attempting to make charge if if didn't go through already

plain jay Dec 17, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

If you make the call again with the same idempotency token, we will send you the response again

tame zealot Dec 17, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

if stripe never received the request we would end up with fresh charge

#

is that correct ?

#

is there any way to prevent it ?

plain jay Dec 17, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

Ah, understood.

#

Trying to think of what you can do here

#

Can you explain the use case a bit more?

#

Like is this the general response you are thinking of for calls that time out and whatnot?

#

we have automated and end user payment flows, they could be triggered simultaneously

#

we could prevent making another attempt by tracking what's is currently pending

#

but have a problem with cleanup

#

if we clean up after let's say 2mins, we would like to know if charge gone through without actually making it

#

If you have not heard back from us in 30 seconds, that call has failed

#

We hard fail requests after 30 seconds.

#

Are you seeing cases like this at the moment?

tame zealot Dec 17, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

we have seen request last 60 sec in dev env. We werent sure this will happen on production or not

#

thanks for your help

plain jay Dec 17, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

Do you have a request ID on that?

tame zealot Dec 17, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

not at the moment.

#

it was a while back

#

i ll contact again if i face again same issue

#

Hey one sec @tame zealot just to clarify: idempotency keys only apply for 24h

#

after that it would run the request again as if new

#

but no you cannot retrieve by idempotency key used

#

so just to be clear: for the clean up shortly after as you mentioned, (eg, 2 minutes) then this is fine, using the idempotency key will be safe to re-submit

#

but the next day, for example, that is not the case

tame zealot Dec 17, 2021, 3:26 PM

#

i see

#

thank you

NP!

tame zealot we have seen request last 60 sec in dev env. We werent sure this will happen on ...

regarding this, are you sure those were hanging waiting for Stripe, vs waiting for your own server? the same should apply in test and live mode

i ll have a look more on our end
