Hi 👋

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

hello

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

Setup Intents and Payment Intents are two different things with different uses.

#

What are you trying to do here?

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

i am trying to first create a setupIntent and save a users information, then once another event is fired, I want to make that setupIntent as an executed transaction

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

Setup Intents are used to collect payment details for future payments but they are not used to execute transactions.

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:08 PM

#

how do I convert it into a transaction being executed?

#

#

Yeah, that's a different intent altogether

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

Ok, how do I convert it into paymentIntent

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:10 PM

#

You don't "convert" into a payment intent.

#

The setup intent allows you to save a payment method for later use

#

So after you use it you have a customer which an attached payment method

#

You can use that attached payment method in later transactions

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:11 PM

#

ok how can i use that attached payment method for later transactions?

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:13 PM

#

WE have this documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Set up future payments

Learn how to save card details and charge your customers later.

#

Both the saving of the payment method and the charging it later (scroll down)

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

ok cool, so does this code allow us to charge the user without their authorization (no checkout session needed):

#

  const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    amount: 1099,
    currency: 'usd',
    customer: '{{CUSTOMER_ID}}',
    payment_method: '{{PAYMENT_METHOD_ID}}',
    off_session: true,
    confirm: true,
  });

#

and after this call, does it fire payment_intent.succeeded

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

Yup. And as long as the PI is successful it will fire that webhook event

ionic crag Apr 26, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

Great! I am concerned about the reliability of webhooks, should I add code that checks if the PI succeeded as a fallback? Or are webhooks 100% guaranteed

heavy flume Apr 26, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

Webhooks are as reliable as our APIs. Especially since, if delivery fails, they will retry themselves a number of times until your server responds with a 200 status

#

If you are curious, concerned, or just want to be sure of your understanding, I would recommending reading this doc (links included)
