Do you have an event ID I could look at?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

evt_3KWPaaFx11m8e94j1A5O5tza

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

The object in the event data has a valid client secret from what I can see

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

"client_secret": null,

#

this is what i got in paymentindent.created webkook

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:34 PM

this is what showing to me

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:37 PM

Hmmmm.... 🤔

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

😩

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

The client secret is not intended to persist on you end but be used to authenticate the front-end when using Stripe.js elements. What do you want it for?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

i am using paymentindent.created to get the client_secret and using it in the stripe element to confirm the payment, as it is returniing as null i cannot able to make payments

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

Where are you creating the paymentIntent?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

i am using this paymentindent.created webkook to get the client_secret

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:45 PM

#

Okay but when are you creating the paymentIntent?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:47 PM

#

i am not creating paymentindents, i am trying to get the payment indent id and secret_code of invoice created in subscription in connect account

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

Webhooks are not intended for that purpose. Client secrets should be sent from the server creating the payment intent to the front-end consuming it. How is your application designed?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:53 PM

#

thats how we used but how can we pay the stripe subscription invoice with our own custopm payment page with stripe emements without client secret

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

What I am asking is, how do your server-side and client-side portions of you app communicate?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

i am seding data using rest api

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

So, as this diagram displays (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements#web-create-intent), the Payment Intent is generated on the sever and the client secret is provided to the front-end from the server.

#

I don't think webhooks are an appropriate method for accessing the client_secret

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

then how can i able to get the client secret of the invoice created by stripe subscription

royal musk Feb 23, 2022, 8:05 PM

#

The invoice object includes the payment Intent, which can be expanded to return the client secret: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-payment_intent

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:06 PM

#

@vapid ice when your server receives the event, if you need the client_secret you can retrieve the object from the API bfore taking whatever client-side action is needed

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

@wind fjord i am doing that only...but i am receiving null in client_secret in the event

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

yes, you need to explicitly retrieve the object

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

ok ...ca you please give any axample for this

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/retrieve

Stripe API reference – Retrieve a PaymentIntent – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

If you take a look there, we show an example for each client language

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

yes i have tried this

#

it returning null

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

Do you also use one-time payment intents, or only subscriptions / invoices?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:12 PM

#

#

i am using both

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

Can you share the request id? eg req_123
( https://stripe.com/docs/api/request_ids)

#

Ok in that case you might want to look at invoice specific events so that you don't unintentionally handle non-invoice payment intents

#

What scenario are you trying to handle?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

wind fjord Can you share the request id? eg `req_123` ( https://stripe.com/docs/api/reques...

do you mean event_id

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:15 PM

#

No, I mean the request you make to retrieve the invoice or payment intent object

#

I think it might be worth taking a step back and explaining to me your broader flow here. At a high level, what are you trying to do?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:18 PM

#

I am trying to get the client_secret from paymentindent.created webhooks and i am passing it to stripe element confirm payment api,,,but here i am getting the cleint secret as null,, so i cant able to make any payments as the client_secret is null

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:19 PM

#

OK take a step back from that, why do you want to do that?

#

What problem are you trying to solve?

wooden briar Feb 23, 2022, 8:19 PM

#

hi @wind fjord ..

#

we are using stripe connect in our application

#

to make transaction between our customers...

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

i tried using await stripe.paymentIntents.retrieve("pi_3KWPaaFx11m8e94j1jpVmILD",{stripeAccount :"acct_1Bdd4RFx11m8e94j"})

#

but it also returning client_secret as null

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:24 PM

#

@wooden briar Sure but what flow are you using for this? ie, who creates a subscription, how, which invoices are you trying to handle, etc

wooden briar Feb 23, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

example: user A is our customer..

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

@vapid ice OK great - that's this request: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_Nkk7QxosODEhoF

wooden briar Feb 23, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

he will create subscription or invoices for user B...

#

user A will connect with stripe using their stripe account..

#

after that they will start create subscription and invoices to their customers..

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

wind fjord <@!938837060566012024> OK great - that's this request: https://dashboard.stripe....

yes

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

vapid ice i tried using await stripe.paymentIntents.retrieve("pi_3KWPaaFx11m8e94j1jpVmILD...

Can you try doing an update to that payment intent to set some metadata? eg:
stripe.paymentIntents.update("pi_3KWPaaFx11m8e94j1jpVmILD", {metadata: {testkey: 'testvalue'}},{stripeAccount :"acct_1Bdd4RFx11m8e94j"})

#

You should see your metadata in the response, in addition to the client secret

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

no...i am not updating

#

do i need to do this

#

await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customer_id,
items: [{ price: price_id }],
collection_method: "send_invoice",
days_until_due: 10
expand: ["latest_invoice.payment_intent"],
}, { stripeAccount: account_id })

#

this is what i am using to create subscription and its invoices are auto generated right?

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:32 PM

#

That's another option, yes! But, that is suing "send invoice" to send the user emails to pay on the hosted invoice page. What are you trying to do with the client secret here?

#

If you're trying to build a custom payment flow you should use collection_method=charge_automatically

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:34 PM

#

what if i dont't have credit card details by default

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:36 PM

#

What do you mean?

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:37 PM

#

tried updating paymentindent

I'd be better able to help if you could describe your overall expected flow. I think you're questions are too narrowly focused and aren't really addressing your bigger objective.

vapid ice Feb 23, 2022, 8:37 PM

#

still getting client_secreat as null

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 8:42 PM

#

OK, interesting. Let me look into this.

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

@vapid ice @wooden briar Is this something new you're building, or an existing integration that stopped working?

#

ie, is this changed behaviour to you, or something you discovered during development?

wind fjord Feb 23, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

OK we found that this is different than it was recently, still investigating
