Apologies, I'm not sure I follow. Could you elaborate a bit on what you're trying to accomplish?

OK, so I set up my stripeClient with the appropriate secret apikey. I then create a session and place the session ID in the redirectToCheckout call of the button onclick method. When I get the callback from Stripe I retrieve the session information for the specific sessionID. This indicates a completed transaction.

When I later wish to perform a refund on this transaction it seems I need a charge ID. I am not sure where to get this.

Gotcha, so you can get the relevant charge ID by:

1. Getting the associated Payment Intent ID from the Checkout Session:
   https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-payment_intent
2. Retrieve the corresponding Charge's ID from the Payment Intent's charges.data field:
   https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-charges-data

Ah, OK. Should I be retrieving this info on the callback for additional validation of the completion status or is the status in the session itself sufficient?

[ruby rain]

The Session's status should be sufficient. If the Charge fails then the upstream objects won't move to a succeeded state.
