Good question. Looking in to it. Do you have a link to the non-API beta doc you are working through as well?

https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/paper-check-payment this one?

Pay by mailed check

Accept check payments sent directly from your customers.

Perfect, just found it myself

#

Thank you!

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

but it's pretty straight forward - you just go to create an invoice in the create an invoice flow and its included as an option and you can see it in the preview

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

Have you tried using it in a call even if it isn't in the doc?

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

yeah, it didn't work

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

Do you have the request ID req_123 from when you tried?

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

(lemme make another request real quick - how do I get the request Id)

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

And thanks for trying, I am not immediately familiar with this beta so I just wanted to check.

#

okay perfect give a like 1 minute, making the request

#

oh huh wait I guess maybe it worked

#

(the request didn't fail - lemme see if I got an address)

#

okay so we got a paper check but no source -- but the address we'd use is on the source right?

#

request-id: req_WdSpmAaEQCe53c

#

we finalized the invoice just now but I don't think a source showed up

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 8:42 PM

#

From what I understand from the docs, yes, though I need to read a bit more to see how you are supposed to get that.

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 8:46 PM

#

okay I'm going to try listing out all events to see if I got something with a source

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

I was going to ask if you got the source.transaction.created event. I have not gotten to check yet

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 8:51 PM

#

hrm so I think source.transaction.created is only created on paid right? at least that's how it works for the ACH lifecycle which I'm assuming this follows

#

but we grabbed all the events and don't see anything related to the source.

#

we have the invoice url

#

which does have the address. I guess one option is to use the invoice like a checkout session? (since the issue is we still need to render alternative invoices for the customer)

#

alternatively is there some way to just see all my sources: https://stripe.com/docs/api/sources

Stripe API reference – Sources – curl

#

also is the issue that I'm test mode

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 9:22 PM

#

I am still looking in to this at the moment. I thought you should get that event but am having trouble finding anything about that in the docs or your account.

#

I will still look in to this for a bit. If I can't find it soon, it will probably be best to write in to our support so that the engineers that are working on this beta can answer it more directly

sacred storm Feb 7, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

got it! appreciate the help so far!

solid elbow Feb 7, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

Alright thank you for your patience on this. So for this source, you can find it by retrieving the customer on the invoice, the source will be the default_source on the Customer object.

#

These Sources are created when the Invoice is created and the recommended way to get them should be through the webhook events that the doc mentions.
