Problems with stripe checkout

[Emiel]

Hello @Teodor, @George,

Thanks for this integration, a fantastic addition to Wappler again!!

Unfortunately, I am getting some errors on the server side integration.
I got a data storage cart already setup and followed the tutorial for server side stripe integration thoroughly. However, there are 2 problems up til now:

1. I have to enable the output for all the server actions to prevent getting this error:
   Id is missing in session response.

2. When the output is enabled for all actions, I am getting this error that I don’t know a solution for:
   Error:Missing required param: line_items[0][currency].

The first error is thrown by the AC Stripe element, the second one by SC.

The stripe API keys are valid for sure btw.

What am I doing wrong and how can this be solved? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Emiel,

Not sure what do you mean by:

@Emiel

I have to enable the output for all the server actions to prevent getting this error:
Id is missing in session response.

But this error is caused because the setvalue step called id does not have the output enabled, and as per our docs:

Make sure to enable the Output option for this step.

@Emiel

When the output is enabled for all actions, I am getting this error that I don’t know a solution for:
Error:Missing required param: line_items[0][currency].

Where exactly do you see this error? When? Post some screenshots please.
What actions do you have on the server side?

[Emiel]

If the output is only disabled for the createCheckoutSession.id step the error Id is missing in session response occurs on the frontend when clicking the pay button.
I have to enable all outputs to prevent this error.
Here’s my SC:

@Teodor

Where exactly do you see this error? When? Post some screenshots please.

The second error is also shown after clicking the pay button on the checkout page as a notification. It has “Error:” as a prefix, that’s why I know it’s the SC error being passed on:

[Teodor]

So how have you set up your product/pricing in Stripe then?

[Emiel]

Is that necessary when using server side integration too? I didn’t setup any products in Stripe. I don’t want to have to add products to Stripe at all actually. I got a shop made in Wappler with a shopping cart and everything and only want Stripe to handle the payment.

I have searched everywhere and have come to the conclusion that products need to be setup in Stripe. This is easy to de, all it needs is a name, price and a unique ID. That way when a payment is made, no one can meddle with the price, e.g. pay a zero amount. Suits me fine. Set up an automatic procedure to enter the already existing products to Stripe. After that, each time a product is added to the site, also add it to Stripe.

No, that’s not required.
I will setup a quick guide on how to do this without setting up the products in Stripe.

I would certainly find this very useful too. It’s probably not feasible for my customers to store products in Stripe. I imagine this situation will be typical:

That would be great Teodor … easier to do custom products in a database.

Thank you @Teodor this is exactly what I need.

[Emiel]

That would be great indeed @Teodor, thanks!

I’m currently using Stripe on a couple of sites, based on @max_gb’s excellent tutorial.
What I’m hoping is that Wappler’s features can be used flexibly, to make it easier to customise the way payments are made - in particular, to place a hold on a card (to separate authorisation and capture of payments). I appreciate this is rather specific, but if the principals could be demonstrated, that would be very useful.

[max_gb]

Should be doable by changing the capture method on the payment intent creation from automatic to manual which will capture the funds but not charge

[TomD]

Many thanks @max_gb. I tried including ‘Manual’ with the input data before, but couldn’t get it to work. I haven’t tried the new Stripe features yet - but this seems to be exactly what I need.

[Emiel]

Thanks @max_gb. Still for me @Teodor’s tutorial would be very welcome!

I am getting the same error reproduced here:

I have entered all my products into stripe using the price method with price_id line items and verified that USD was also entered as a line item. I think it is looking for the currency line item along with the price id and quantity. any ideas?

[Teodor]

Yes it’s different when you don’t have products defined in Stripe. The checkout requires a different flow.
We are working on docs explaining this in cases when you don’t have the products and prices defined in Stripe.

[dmbe11]

@Teodor In my case, I do have the products defined. The error: There was an error:

"missing required param: line_items[0][currency] "

indicates that that the currency is not defined. Do you know how to we should enter that parameter or why I am receiving that error?

[Teodor]

Well have you defined a price for your product in Stripe? And are you sending this price id to the checkout as explained in the tutorial?

[dmbe11]

yes, I have done both:

for testing purposes, I also tried adding a line item for currency which made no change. I noticed that someone else had the same error did that issue get resolved by updating the product info? I included my stripe test data for you to see.
