Hi there, which test card are you using?

#

Can you also share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

#

The one that requires authentication, 4000 0027 6000 3184

#

This is from the error that I've logged in my backend
requestId: 'req_7nf7w4I4Uhr9VQ'

OK, let me take a look, one sec

Hi @fierce swan the test card that you use is for PaymentIntent API, but you are using Charge API.

#

And we strongly recommend all our users to use the PaymentIntent API.

#

With PaymentIntent API, can I allow the user to select the amount he/she wants to pay? Since it's donations I'm accepting, I don't want it to be a fixed amount. That's the reason I'm using Charge

#

You can create a new PaymentIntent after user has chosen the amount.

#

So here's a flow I'd recommend

Let your customer choose the amount
Create the PaymentIntent at your backend
Pass the PaymentIntent clientSecret to frontend so that you can use it to render the payment element

Okay. I think I found the right docs NOW. Thanks, it's amazing that a person working for Stripe is actually helping me here. 😁
