OneShot - payment intent + product

[desert nacelle]

You can create one off invoices using the products and prices that you have made https://stripe.com/docs/billing/invoices/subscription#manage-invoices

The PaymentIntent objects themselves don't have a concept of our price/product objects, so you can still use the prices that you created if you would like. You just have to add them up yourself

Hi, thanks for replying

I actually don't want to use subscriptions for now

But just charge for regular product

Is it possible to create the customer, attach the product and then start the payment flow?

[jagged shell]

Is there any example for this?

[desert nacelle]

I was talking about a standard payment intent creation and supplying whatever amount you have calculated https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create

Can you tell me a bit more about what you mean by attaching the product to a customer and starting the payment flow?

[jagged shell]

What i would like to avoid is having to setup the price by myself, as the price is already created on the stripe product

[jagged shell]

In the subscription flow, you first create a customer, then you create the subscription products, and when the customer picks one, you create a subscription invoice with that product id that have the price information, and then the payment.

While making a single charge, do i have to set the price by myself or can i somehow get the price automatically from the product coming from Stripe?

Any help or suggestion please?

Hi 👋 jumping in as my teammate needs to step away. Bear with me a moment while I get caught up.

Thanks

There are a couple options:

As my teammate mentioned, you could create one-off invoices. This will be the approach that most closely matches the subscription flow that you were looking at.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing

You can also create Payment Intents directly. When doing this you can retrieve the Product/Price from Stripe to determine the amount so you can still reference your existing objects.

You could also use Checkout Sessions if a hosted checkout experience fits your flow.

Creating the invoice, would i be able to go to my custom payment flow and have the user pay for it?

I'm currently using the react stripe library, using the payment element

[glass crag]

Yeah, the invoice would still generate a Payment Intent the way an invoice for a subscription would. Then you pass that intent through your flow.

[jagged shell]

Oh i think that should work

Thanks for that

I have another quick question

Regarding to taxes, is there a way to get the tax amount from stripe on my custom checkout?

[glass crag]

We have a couple tax options:
Stripe Tax is a solution that automatically determines tax amounts based on customer info and product codes:https://stripe.com/docs/tax

Or the more manual (and more free) version of that is to use Tax Rates to define the tax amounts you want to collect:
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/taxes/tax-rates

Thanks, i think the second one is the one i'm looking for
