#Thnks_CJ - event data
unreal patio
I'm trying to get the email and name from the payment

What Stripe product are you currently using to charge your users? Checkout? Your own page with Stripe Elements?
pseudo ridge
So you are listening to the checkout.session.completed event?
unreal patio
Yes
pseudo ridge
The Checkout Session will have a customer property, if you retrieve the customer with that ID, that should have the email that your user put in to the Checkout form https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-email
unreal patio
how do i properly access the data thoughon the docs it tells you the strings but not how to get them
pseudo ridge
What strings are you having trouble finding?
unreal patio
i have the event but what i dont udnerstand is how after this i get the strings
pseudo ridge
At this point in your code, you have an event object of some sort, correct?
Like that switch statement is on something like event.type?
pseudo ridge
If you check event.data.object there should be a Checkout Session object. So you initially have access to all of this data https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object
So the customer ID that I mentioned (cus_123) will be at event.data.object.customer
unreal patio
so for the email i would use event.data.object.email?
pseudo ridge
I don't think so, that email is set when creating the Checkout Session. I don't think it will be filled out with whatever the customer specifies in our form
unreal patio
I found it event.data.object.customer_details.email Thank you for your help
pseudo ridge
Even better, nice find!

1 last thing is there PayPal support?
pseudo ridge
For Checkout? I don't think so at the moment.
