Hi! You are creating the PaymentLink with the API, and you would like to set the metadata of all the charge objects for that PaymentLink?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 12:33 PM

#

yes

#

so that my webhook process the charge.succeded like with other methods of payments

#

using metadata

#

?

prime tusk Mar 24, 2022, 12:41 PM

#

That's not possible unfortunately.

#

But if you have the Charge ID, it might be possible to figure out the PaymentLink associated with it. Would that solve your issue?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 12:43 PM

#

Yes

#

how can I do it, because I need to retrieve the metadata

#

related to the payment link

#

through a charge.succeded

prime tusk Mar 24, 2022, 12:46 PM

#

Give me a few minutes to look into this.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 12:47 PM

#

Also, with a checkout session, how can I tell that it is coming from a payment link?

#

another question, can I update a payment link with a description, afterwards?

#

sorry a a payment intent from a payment link

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

HI there 👋 stepping in.

#

From the Charge object you can check the payment_intent field to find the related Payment Intent. Once you have the Payment Intent you can use it to retrieve the associated Checkout Session:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-payment_intent

You can then check the payment_link field on the Checkout Session to find it's related Payment Link.

Stripe API reference – List all Checkout Sessions – 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.

#

And yes, you can update a Payment Intent.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 1:29 PM

#

THANKS

#

can you specify how can I retrieve the checkout session from the payment intent?

#

I only one the one related to the charge

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

Sure, you'd use the List Checkout Sessions function that I linked above, and use the Payment Intent ID as your filter criteria.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:01 PM

#

thanks

#

a question

#

can I use this? I am getting an error, I think it is because it is not getting the connected account. But I am passing it, maybe my syntaxis is wrong:

#

$payment_intent_object = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::retrieve($payment_intent, [], $connected_account);

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:04 PM

#

What's the error?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:04 PM

#

We are sorry</h4>There was a problem with your transaction No such payment_intent: 'pi_3KgplQGZgYEIO0k51TiPLsjD'

#

Ahhh I think it is because it is trying to pull it on live mode

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:06 PM

#

Ah that could do it.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:06 PM

#

the problem is that my metadata always includes a test flag

#

but these charges coming from payment links dont have metadata, very frustrating

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

Ah gotcha. Every object also has a livemode parameter to help identify what mode they belong to.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:10 PM

#

can you please check if this one was trying to use live or test?

#

evt_3KgplQGZgYEIO0k51ivd1DDZ

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:12 PM

#

Test

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

so not sure why is that not being retrieved?

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

Usually that error is seen when the object is on the connected account but you're checking the platform, or vice versa

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

OK, so I am on the platform (under live mode) under a webhook for a connected account

#

because on platforms, I have to use this to check the webhooks even if they are in test mode

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

Can you share the ID of a failed request?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

Screen_Shot_2022-03-24_at_3.17.35_pm.png

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

Wait, are you not trying to retrieve an object anymore? What is it you're trying to accomplish?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

I am trying to process charge.succeded

#

I am trying to get the "Link" parameter from metadata, but my charge doesn't have metadata, so I am trying to pull the metadata from the checkout, so I need to use the payment_intent first.

#

in order for me to pull the payment_intent, I need the Link from the metadata, so that it tells my code where the request is comming from and so that it matches the destination (i.e where the webhook is hosted)

#

this is a filter, so that events from other connected accounts do not interfere.

floral wraith Mar 24, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

Okay, and which part of the process is running into a problem, the request to list the Checkout Sessions?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

the request to list the payment intent

#

$payment_intent_object = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::retrieve($payment_intent, [], $connected_account);

#

I can confirm that connected account is a valid array with the connected account id

#

[stripe_account => acct_xyz]

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:26 PM

#

Hello. Stepping in for toby here as they have to step out. Give me a bit to catch up

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

ok

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

So the question still is why you are getting a no such payment intent error?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

I don't know

#

that is my question

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

Yeah was just confirming what you want to know

#

Can you share the request id for that request?

#

As well as the payment intent id and connected account that you are passing in

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

exotic harness

here

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

That is just a screenshot of a charge event

#

I mean for the request that is failing

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:35 PM

#

where do i find it? I am on that screen

#

Also, I need to follow up re SEPA and other payment methods not appearing on checkout for connected account

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

Ok one thing at a time

#

Can you find that request id that is failing and share it?

#

Also providing the paymentintent id and connected account id you are using?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 2:40 PM

#

I think is this one:

#

req_u0HFnRHjVb6T5I

#

acct_1K3kZZGZgYEIO0k5

#

pi_3KgplQGZgYEIO0k51TiPLsjD

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

I think you are passing in the connected account incorrectly. Take a look at this guide: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header

Making API calls for connected accounts

Learn how to add the right information to your API calls so you can make calls for your connected accounts.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

huh?

#

I use this in ALL my code

#

all the time...

#

what is wrong with this call:

#

$payment_intent_object = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::retrieve($payment_intent, [], $connected_account);

#

to start with, are the parameters ok?

#

I can confirm (AGAIN) that $connected_account is a properly built array with 'stripe_account' => acct__xyz

#

that variable $connected_account, is used ALL over my code, it works no problem, why would it be different here? I also just printed it and it prints the array for the connected account.

#

I just printed it testing and it is fine... so why do you say that I am using it incorrectly?

#

acct_1K3kZZGZgYEIO0k5

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 3:29 PM

#

Ah I see. I didn't see the first message where you said connected_account pointed to that array

#

Let me take a look into this again

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 3:31 PM

#

ok

#

OK i am able to retrieve it now

#

the problem was that I didn't need that middle empty array.

#

the API never shows calls with connected accounts, so it is usually confusing

#

anyway, the payment intent doesn't have metadata?

#

it is empty... so I really don't know how to retrieve the metadata from a payment link

thin idol Mar 24, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

Can you share the request for how you are setting the metadata?

#

From there I can determine the exact object that metadata is set on

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

Yeah, the payment intent object doesn't contain any metadata

#

        //metadata is empty, let's try to find it:
        try{
            $payment_intent_object = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::retrieve($payment_intent, $connected_account);
        } catch(\Stripe\Error\InvalidRequest $e){
            error_messages($e);
        } catch (\Stripe\Error\Card $e){
            error_messages($e);
        } catch (Exception $e){
            error_messages($e);
        } 
        $metadata = $payment_intent_object->metadata;
    }
    $origin_url = $metadata->Link;```

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

Hi @exotic harness! Stepping in for @thin idol. You are setting metadata on the PaymentLink itself, yes?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

I am trying to retrieve it

#

when it is a charge.succeded

#

so that I can pull the "Link" element from it

#

metadata->Link

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Let's back up a sec.

#

Where are you passing metadata originally.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

on the payment link

#

This issue is about payment links' charge not inheriting payment link metadata

#

or payment intent metadata

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Okay so that is where the metadata will live. It will not exist on the PaymentIntent as it doesn't get carried down afaik.

#

So are you asking how to get back to your PaymentLink ID to then retrieve the metadata?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

ok, i am updating the payment intent anyway on the checkout.completed

#

so I could do this?

#

                $payment_intent_object = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::update(
                    $payment_intent, 
                    [
                        'description' => 'Payment Link No. '.$metadata->Invoice. ' ['.$metadata->Reference.']',
                        'metadata' => $metadata
                    ],
                    $connected_account
                );
            }```

#

$metadata is the metadata from the checkout session

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

Yep that looks right to me.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:06 PM

#

I am getting an error, i think it doesn't accept the metadata array

#

just like that. Do you know how I can just pass it directly?

#

without having to re-write each element from the associative array?

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:09 PM

#

Ah I didn't realize that $metadata wasn't already an object

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

it is been pulled like this:

#

$metadata = $event_json->data->object->metadata;

#

it is an object

#

  ["Invoice"]=>
  string(4) "4572"
  ["Customer"]=>
  string(12) "Luna Escobar"
  ["CustomerID"]=>
  string(3) "197"
  ["Link"]=>
  string(46) "https://app.lunaescobar.com/payment-link/test/"
  ["Reference"]=>
  string(4) "Test"
  ["Notes"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Vendor"]=>
  string(23) "lunaescobar18@gmail.com"
  ["VendorID"]=>
  string(3) "197"
  ["Timestamp"]=>
  string(14) "20220324122702"
  ["API"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Affiliate"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Tickets"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Test"]=>
  string(4) "true"
  ["CFDI"]=>
  string(0) ""
}```

#

that's a var_dump

#

how do I update the payment intent with that metadata object

#

it is stored in $metadata

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

Huh, that does seem fine to me. Can you provide the request ID where you hit the error above when you tried to pass that?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

I have the event ID:

#

evt_1Kgu3gGZgYEIO0k5PNpqFiOl

#

I get a 500 error

#

so it is difficult for me to track where, but without that line, it works.

#

so it must be that

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

Huh weird. What is the error message on your server?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:21 PM

#

{"code":"internal_server_error","message":"There has been a critical error on this website.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/faq-troubleshooting\/\">Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.<\/a><\/p>","data":{"status":500},"additional_errors":[]}

#

I see that in the std out from the webhook response

#

but yeah, if I comment the line, and I resend the webhook, all good

#

so it is that

#

                    $payment_intent, 
                    [
                        'description' => 'Payment Link No. '.$metadata->Invoice. ' ['.$metadata->Reference.']',
                        'metadata' => $metadata
                    ],
                    $connected_account
                );```

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

If you wrap $metadata in [] does that change anything?

#

Sorry, I'm not super familiar syntactically with PHP

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

no

#

same errror

wicked sonnet Mar 24, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

Okay let me grab a colleague

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

thanks

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

Hi 👋

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

hi

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

That syntax looks kind of strange to me. metadata needs to be an associative array of key => value pairs.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

it is an object

#

  ["Invoice"]=>
  string(4) "4572"
  ["Customer"]=>
  string(12) "Luna Escobar"
  ["CustomerID"]=>
  string(3) "197"
  ["Link"]=>
  string(46) "https://app.lunaescobar.com/payment-link/test/"
  ["Reference"]=>
  string(4) "Test"
  ["Notes"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Vendor"]=>
  string(23) "lunaescobar18@gmail.com"
  ["VendorID"]=>
  string(3) "197"
  ["Timestamp"]=>
  string(14) "20220324122702"
  ["API"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Affiliate"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Tickets"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["Test"]=>
  string(4) "true"
  ["CFDI"]=>
  string(0) ""
}```

#

How can I convert it , so that I can just pass it like this:

#

metadata => $metadata

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

First question, if you remove the line metadata => $metadata does the Update call work?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

yes, like mentioned above 🙂

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

Sorry I'm just hopping in

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

sure no worries

#

thanks

#

so yes, it works without that line

#

the $metadata contains an object, taken from the event

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

Do you have a Request ID for one of the failed requests?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

hmmmm I have a event id

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

evt_1Kgu3gGZgYEIO0k5PNpqFiOl

#

No, but I am resending the webhook only

#

You can find it with the event id , no?

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:32 PM

#

I'm talking about the request to Update the payment intent

#

that is a separate API request

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:32 PM

#

are you a php developer? Do you know how can I pass the object $metadata to the new metadata for payment intent?

#

ok

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

This is likely specific to our PHP library and how it transforms the arguments you provide into a POST request. It helps me to see the data payload of that POST request, which I can do with the request ID

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

req_2QtcZYU9FtaAgy

#

not sure if it is that one

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Perfect, thank you

#

Okay no, try looking for one that failed

#

This is a successful request

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

where do I look for it, for a connected account?

#

that is the last one I see

#

req_2QtcZYU9FtaAgy

#

for payment intents

#

Screen_Shot_2022-03-24_at_6.35.57_pm.png

#

OK

#

got it

#

i needed to convert the php object to associative array

#

with (array)$metadata

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

Okay, so since you are passing in the Stripe Account header the request will exist on the Connected Account.

#

So you can look in their activity logs to find the request.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:17 PM

#

OK, how can I get the charge from the payment intent? So that I can update the charge's description

#

because also charges from payment link don't have descriptions

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

Okay for a second I want to take a step back. Is there a reason you have to assign the metadata to the Checkout Session and then assign it to the Payment Intent?

Why couldn't you just assign it directly to the Payment Intent using the 'payment_intent_data' => ['metadata' => ['key': 'value']] approach when creating the Checkout Session?

https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:20 PM

#

I am using payment links

#

I do that for checkout sessions, but I am at the moment implementing payment links

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:20 PM

#

Ooooohhhh.....yeah that makes sense

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

so I also need to fill in a description for the charge

#

I already filled in the metadata for the payment intent

#

so that helps with charge.succeded , I can at least obtain the metadata from that event

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

Do you make an API call to retrieve the Payment Intent?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

yes why

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:23 PM

#

Okay well you should receive the charges list on that Payment Intent. You can examine those charges and update them with the description already on the Payment Intent.

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object?lang=php#payment_intent_object-charges

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

                    $payment_intent, 
                    [
                        'description' => 'Payment Link No. '.$metadata->Invoice. ' ['.$metadata->Reference.']',
                        'metadata' => (array)$metadata
                    ],
                    $connected_account
                );

                $charge_object = \Stripe\Charge::update($payment_intent_object->charges->data[0]->id, 
                [
                    'description' => $payment_intent_object->description
                ],
                $connected_account);```

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

You cannot update the charge within the payment intent. That needs to be a separate API call

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:30 PM

#

yeah there are two api calls there, no

#

?

#

$charge_object = \Stripe\Charge::update($payment_intent_object->charges->data[0]->id,
[
'description' => $payment_intent_object->description
],
$connected_account);

#

                [
                    'description' => $payment_intent_object->description
                ],
                $connected_account);```

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:31 PM

#

Sorry, the indentation threw me off. I mostly develop in Python so those have special meaning for me 🙂

#

Those calls look good to me.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

ahh,

#

I have a problem

#

charge.succeeded comes BEFORE checkout.sessioncompleted

#

I am updating the payment intent in the checkout.session

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

Okay. So what is the particular problem? You want to add the description before the Charge succeeds?

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

yes, because my code sends notification emails when charge.succeeded

#

and it uses the charge's description

#

sno not sure how to obtain a description from a charge.succeded (that comes from a payment-link)

#

?

#

do you know how to?

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

Hmmm...in that case the best option I could see would be to delay the sending of the email by a few seconds until the checkout session is also returned.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

hmm

#

better option

#

to retrieve payment intent, and copy the metadata and description to the charge's

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

True!

#

Good point. You can go backwards by finding the PI

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

and how can I update the charge description?

#

can I use:

#

$charge->description = 'xxyyzz';
$charge->save();

#

?

vagrant shard Mar 24, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

honestly I haven't used the PHP library enough to be sure. I'd probably make a $strip->charges->update(['description' => $payment_intent->description]) call.

exotic harness Mar 24, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

Done

#

all good!

#

Thanks a lot for all the help today guys
