[wispy reef]

Catching up on some threads. Will be with you in a moment

[earnest parcel]

sure, no worries.

[wispy reef]

Can you share the request ID?

Ok thanks. Checking

Gotcha yeah we sometimes do validation checks on card update: https://support.stripe.com/questions/check-if-a-card-is-valid-without-a-charge

You saw the decline due to this: https://support.stripe.com/questions/unexpected-1-charge-on-customers-bank-statement

If you really want to skip validation you can pass in validate=false to the request

But that "charge" was declined due to excessive retries. looks like you've been trying many times today

[earnest parcel]

So if I pass in validate=false it should work or is it not going to work b/c I've tried too many times today?

[wispy reef]

That should work because it will skip validation

[earnest parcel]

Ok, last question: how do I pass in validate=false in the request, exactly? I don't see this mentioned in the docs

[wispy reef]

Yeah it's not in the docs actually because we don't recommend to use it heavily. It might be useful in this specific scenario though

Just pass it in top-level I believe

moving it here so that we can keep the context in the same thread 🙂

I am trying to pass in validate: false in PHP but I am getting an error. How do I correctly write the syntax to include validate: false in PHP ? error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=>' (T_DOUBLE_ARROW), expecting ')' in /home/blink/public_html/testing/test.php on line 40
Line 40 is 'validate' => false,

$stripe->paymentMethods->update(
'pm_1KMqzzD76OiRybWDIzu9ZWlJ',
'validate' => false,
['billing_details' => ['address' => ['postal_code' => 'bl12tn']]]
);

I'm not a PHP pro but let's see 😅
could you try moving validate in the array along side billing_details

[earnest parcel]

I can't test it right now. I'd have to do it later. Was just wondering if you had the correct syntax on-hand. The following worked in Ruby:

puts Stripe::PaymentMethod.update(
'pm_1KMqzzD76OiRybWDIzu9ZWlJ',
validate:false,
billing_details: {address: {postal_code: 'T12DK37'}}
)

But not sure how to get it to work in PHP & I can't test it right now - just wondering if you have the syntax availabel;

Unfortunately, we don't have it documented on our public docs. I'd be trial-and-error at this point. Highly likely that it should work once you move it along side billing_details
