WEIRDLEMON - PI capture

[soft turtle]

What is the problem?

[forest badge]

I'm confused as to what needs to passed in

const paymentIntent =await stripe.paymentIntents.capture({{{{SOME_PARAMETER}}}
          );

[soft turtle]

Well let's start here:https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/capture?lang=node

[forest badge]

Is it the Intent ID which i got from creating the payment intent

or is it the secret

or is it the payment_method id

Description of what I've implemented..

[soft turtle]

The parameters are clearly spelled out in the doc i linked

1. I created a payment Intent and stored the id of the created payment intent.
   [args_passed] ==>

const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
          description,
          shipping: {
            name: userName,
            address: userAddress,
          },
          customer: customerId,
          amount: parseInt(totalAmt * 100),
          currency: "usd",
          payment_method_types: ["card"],
          capture_method: "manual",
          payment_method: payment_method_id,
          // setup_future_usage: true,
        });

2. Then I stored the Id of this payment intent created

3. I used this stored ID later to capture the payment

I'm getting internal server error without any error code

So, need help

I could be horribly wrong

Somewhere

I don't see anywhere what is exactly passed in as argument in the code example

[soft turtle]

What else do you want to pass besides the ID?

[forest badge]

just the ID

I just want to capture the entire amount

but later

Error: Stripe: Argument "intent" must be a string, but got: undefined

Got this error

[soft turtle]

Okay so you are failing to pass in the ID as a string in your code., that's required

[forest badge]

StripeInvalidRequestError: This PaymentIntent could not be captured because it has a status of requires_confirmation. Only a PaymentIntent with one of the following statuses may be captured: requires_capture.

Why am I getting this one?

it should have been requires_capture

[forest badge]

I created the Intent like this

[soft turtle]

The payment method requires confirmation
Do you have a request ID for the Payment Intent creation?

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