Hello 👋
When you say in the form of charges, you're using the Charges API?

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 7:43 PM

#

#

here is a sample charge

#

#

I have another question too...

#

There are charge related events that you can listen for
For example,
https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-charge.captured

Stripe API reference – Types of events – curl

#

ok, so charge.succeded is equivalent to PAID

red bay Mar 23, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

yup

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

my other question: In the list of payment on my dashboard, my invoice payment Description is: Payment for Invoice.

#

I missed where to change that in the API apparently..

#

Apologies for the delay here
Server is a little busy today
Can you send me a screenshot of the description field here?

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 8:15 PM

#

yep

#

#

you see the lines below are the legacy Charges we are receiving with a "nice" description.

#

interesting... check this screenshot out

red bay Mar 23, 2022, 8:18 PM

#

hmm interesting. can you share the invoice ID for that specific invoice?

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 8:18 PM

#

#

see the hightlights in yellow, those are all Charge(s) Paid, Failed, etc..

#

notice the Description for the first one is still Payment for Invoice...

#

yep, 1 sec on that invoice id

Hello! I don't believe it's possible for you to change that description at creation time, but you can update it after the fact: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-description

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

oh, ok. I'll have a look at that. I have a webhook question if you don't mind.

torn badger Mar 23, 2022, 8:59 PM

#

Yep, what's up?

spice pond Mar 23, 2022, 9:28 PM

#

Yes, I see that if I listen for both charge.succedded and invoice.paid I am getting double logs on my side. So I guess I just need to listen to one of them.

#

So, in order to track succesful payment and failures I'm listening now only for charge.succeeded and charge.failed. Is that adequate?

torn badger Mar 23, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

That depends on what your business requirements are. Stripe generates a charge.succeeded event every time a Charge succeeds. Stripe also generates an invoice.paid event every time an Invoice is paid. Invoices generate Payment Intents, and Payment Intents generate Charges to facilitate payment, so every time an Invoice is paid both of those events will be generated. Which you listen to is entirely up to you.

OK, well given that I have legacy Charges coming in I'm stuck listening for charges... thanks for the detailed answer!
