In your code, what do you do with those stored charge IDs?

limpid oriole Apr 15, 2022, 1:52 PM

#

those would be my reference that I look up if there is a dispute or if I need to call a refund on it.

#

so that I can void the record on my side and update the customer balance

#

I don't use stripe for billing or anything. just payments

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

Gotcha. So I would store the PaymentIntent. You would get more info that way (and you could always get to the charge object)

limpid oriole Apr 15, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

I also still need to use some sources as ACH Credit Transfer has not been migrated yet

#

so then I would have a mix of charge id's and a payment intent id's

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

There would be nothing wrong with continuing to store the charge IDs if that's what you're asking

#

But storing the PI would give you a bit more

limpid oriole Apr 15, 2022, 1:55 PM

#

ok though I can always walk from the charge to the PI right?

#

and safe to say the charge object is never going away

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 1:57 PM

#

Yes that's true

#

I can't speak to never going away

limpid oriole Apr 15, 2022, 1:57 PM

#

well no sooner than the PI would

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 1:57 PM

#

You are safe for the near future at least

#

That kind of change would be a massive undertaking and would affect everyone using Stripe so such a change, if it ever were rolled out, would be adequately communicated

limpid oriole Apr 15, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

I guess I still haven't really wrapped my mind around what a PI really is

#

PaymentMethod is similar to a Source

#

PI is more like the lifecycle of a "payment"

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 2:01 PM

#

Yes that's true. I recommend reading our docs on each of those objects before trying to use them though as you'll get a better understanding

#

and a payment intent can't be reused once it has a successful charge right?

#

like you can't try and charge more to it

#

that would be a new payment intent

#

yeah I'll read through it again and see if it clicks better

graceful wasp Apr 15, 2022, 2:04 PM

#

Yes that's correct

#

But yeah I recommend reading through those first then coming back with questions
