hi! can you clarify overall what your goal is?
But generally it's just that you call the Customer Create API first, and then the PaymentIntent API, passing the ID of the created Customer. There's an example at https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment?platform=web for instance

#

I see alright, bare with me going to have a quick read through this

#

So all I have to do is put this $customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(); before my payment intent triggers?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 8:45 AM

#

well not just that, since you have to then use $customer in the subsequent call to create the PaymentIntent, but that's the idea yes

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 8:45 AM

#

I see yeah adding 'customer' => $customer->id, to my payment intent

#

okay 1 sec just gonna try this out

#

hmm not so sure what I have done wrong but my payment still sent through but as a "Guest"

#

    // retrieve JSON from POST body
    $jsonStr = file_get_contents('php://input');
    $jsonObj = json_decode($jsonStr);

    $customer = \Stripe\Customer::create();

    // Create a PaymentIntent with amount and currency
    $paymentIntent = \Stripe\PaymentIntent::create(
        [
            'customer' => $customer->id,
            'amount' => calculateOrderAmount($jsonObj->items),
            'currency' => 'gbp',
            'automatic_payment_methods' => [
                'enabled' => true,
            ],
            'description' => 'Biotic Advanced Pro Blend x1',
            'metadata' => [
                'product_name' => 'Biotic Advanced',
                'product_id' => 'SN040',
                'quantity' => 1,
            ]
        ]
    );

    

    $output = [
        'clientSecret' => $paymentIntent->client_secret,
    ];


    echo json_encode($output);
} catch (Error $e) {
    http_response_code(500);
    echo json_encode(['error' => $e->getMessage()]);
}```

#

Does that look right to you?

#

Hello?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 8:55 AM

#

seems ok, you should test it out by running the code

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 8:55 AM

#

Yeah I did but it didn't work

#

It came through as a Guest for some reason?

#

I will try another test

#

#

getting this still?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:03 AM

#

can you share the ID pi_xxx of that payment?

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:03 AM

#

pi_3KixK1JsPTNcs2HQ1AerSNvX

#

"customer": null, in the event data for some reason?

#

Does anything need to be sent when making the customer object?

$customer = \Stripe\Customer::create();

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:06 AM

#

did you save the file and deploy the code?

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:06 AM

#

Yeah

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:06 AM

#

the code is fine but you're not making API requests that match it

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:06 AM

#

I will try again 1 moment

#

But I am sure it is being deployed alright

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:07 AM

#

you can see from your logs https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs that you're not making any calls to /v1/customers

#

so you likely are not running the code you think you are. Try adding some logging/print statements/breakpoints to step through the code and see what's actually running

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:08 AM

#

I've added a meta tag to the payment intent saying "Deployed" and the time of deployment

#

Okay yeah looks like the code isn;t running

#

1 moment I will try and figure this out

#

Okay I got that working

#

is there a way to set the customer name as the payment method name?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:21 AM

#

no, they're separate fields, the customer name and the cardholder name can be different

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:22 AM

#

Alright so I am guessing I would need to set the customer name when the object is created?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:23 AM

#

you can but you don't really need to. Depends what your goal is

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:24 AM

#

Well from a visual point of view for the payments

#

I will leave it for now, come back to it later...

#

I do have another question though if you could point me in the right direction

#

Say I have the following funnel

Cart Page (with stripe on)

I then redirect them to a page with a product on is it possible to have an instant purchase button that will use the card details they previously entered on the cart page

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:28 AM

#

hmm, at a high level it's possible I suppose, but it's really hard to give an in-depth answer

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:28 AM

#

Is there a guide on stripe possibly or some docs that explain it?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:32 AM

#

Not sure how to answer that, I don't really understand the exact question yet

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:32 AM

#

Do you know what "One Click Up-sells" are?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:32 AM

#

sure, like you want to have the success page after the Checkout page offer a button to charge the customer again.

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:32 AM

#

Yeah exactly

#

Is that possible with Stripe?

night steeple Mar 30, 2022, 9:35 AM

#

yes. No there's no specific guide. You should use Checkout to charge the customer and save their details (make sure to pass https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_intent_data-setup_future_usage )
Then on your success page you can have a button that then results in you creating a PaymentInent that passes the customer and payment_method and confirm parameters to attempt a payment on the saved details

wind fractal Mar 30, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

Brilliant I will check this out and see how it goes
