I'm working on the Stripe API and building a custom checkout function - My error is specifically telling me I must provide a source or customer. This is my controller for creating charges:
I thought I was successfully creating a source and/or customer with the following code (I also included the post logs on my stripe dashboard)
Stripe::Charge.create(
:amount => #amount,
:currency => 'usd',
:source => params[:stripeToken],
)
Stripe::Customer.create(
:email => params[:stripeEmail],
:source => params[:stripeToken]
)
"error": {
"code": "parameter_missing",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/parameter-missing",
"message": "Must provide source or customer.",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
I did go through the docs but I guess I'm still a little lost
Thanks for any assistance!
Update: here is the return of my API POST requests.
Update2: I see that a customer is being created when I send a charge.
Update 3: Source property is set to the stripeToken parameter, representing the payment method provided. The token is automatically created by Checkout. - this seems possibly connected to my issue - maybe it's not correctly posting?
So it did turn out to be a token request - since I was using a test card for test purposes I imagine I had to pass a test token to ensure that the test card would work.
I believe the Rails Params I was using (: source => params[:stripeToken]
) are fine for production but not when checking against given cards. In case someone comes across this as I did (and of course this probably isn't the first time it was asked on SO)
When using the Stripe API you see there is a token tab beside the test card numbers - I assumed those were optional or "for something else" for some reason. THEY ARE NOT.
You'll want to make sure the token matches whatever test card you plan on using (I think)
My Stripe controller now looks like this
Stripe::Charge.create({
:amount => #amount,
:currency => 'usd',
:source => 'tok_visa', #params[:stripeToken] might be for in production I think this is for testing.,
:description => 'Your Donation to Victoria University',
:statement_descriptor => 'Victoria University'
# it seems test tokens must be set as string.
})
Decided to leave my comments in there - because why not?
P.S You'll need different token types for different card payment types. If you switch cards - switch tokens as well !!!! - the tokens are tabbed beside the test card numbers.
I'm building an application (based in online resource). You can sign up or login with devise. Then, you can buy a product. Or make your own list and sell your products.
I'm integrating Stripe. When I create the Charge, I get this error in the console: Stripe::InvalidRequestError (Must provide source or customer.).
Here is the code of the orders_controller.rb for the charge action:
Stripe.api_key = ENV["STRIPE_API_KEY"]
token = params[:stripeToken]
begin
charge = Stripe::Charge.create(
:amount => (#listing.price * 100).floor,
:currency => "usd",
:card => token
)
flash[:notice] = "Thanks for ordering!"
rescue Stripe::CardError => e
flash[:danger] = e.message
end
Of course I'm taking a look in the Stripe API Documentation here: Charge documentation example and here: Charge full API Reference
I'm not sure how to handle the :resource or customer. I saw in other materials in the web that some people create a customer. In other sites it says that the :card is deprecated, so I'm a little confused.
I will leave the github repository of my project, and feel free to take a look. I'm trying to deal with Transfers and Recipients too. Project Repository
Thanks.
As mentioned in the docs, stripe expects either customer or source to be mentioned while creating a charge. So, you either need to
Create a customer on stripe(if you want to charge that customer in future too) from the token you received, and mention that customer while creating a charge,
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(source: params[:stripeToken])
charge = Stripe::Charge.create({
:amount => 400,
:currency => "usd",
:customer => customer.id,
:description => "Charge for test#example.com"
})
Or, if you don't want to create a customer, then directly mention received token as a source,
Stripe::Charge.create({
:amount => 400,
:currency => "usd",
:source => params[:stripeToken],
:description => "Charge for test#example.com"
})
For anyone going through the Stripe docs, you may have something like this (using an existing account)
account_links = Stripe::AccountLink.create({
account: 'acct_1032D82eZvKYlo2C',
refresh_url: 'https://example.com/reauth',
return_url: 'https://example.com/return',
type: 'account_onboarding',
})
if so, just change it to look like this (i.e. include the actual account.id you created in the previous step):
account_links = Stripe::AccountLink.create({
account: account.id,
refresh_url: 'https://example.com/reauth',
return_url: 'https://example.com/return',
type: 'account_onboarding',
})
I'm using ActiveMerchant to process a recurring payment. I want the payment to have a limited number of occurence but even if I pass the 'cycles' parameters my payment has no end or any trace of limited number of occurence when I go to see the results of my transaction in the sandbox site ??
Here is my gateway definition :
config.after_initialize do
ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test
paypal_options = {
login: "my_api.ca",
password: "QNBW72G3Q999999",
signature: "AFcWxV21C7fd0v3bYYYRCpSSRl31AmVtuyteuytuetwuytwtwEyY5cTGMA"
}
::MY_PAYMENT_GATEWAY = ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalCaGateway.new(paypal_options)
end
And here is my code to process the recurring payment :
response = MY_PAYMENT_GATEWAY.recurring(amount,
#publisher.credit_card.active_merchant_credit_card,
{:ip => request.remote_ip,
:email => current_publisher.user.email,
:period => 'Month',
:frequency => 1,
:cycles => #chosen_package.duration.to_i,
:start_date => Time.now.to_date,
:description => "Try to pay only #chosen_package.duration times !? "})
My comprehension is that the 'cycles' parameters should reflect as a maximum number of charge in sandbox test site but I'm stuck... like like it's not working !?
Any help appreciated ! Thx a lot !
Serge
I have found it by digging into ActiveMerchant source... The good parameters name is :total_billing_cycles, not :cycles as stated in the documentation that I have...
Work like a charm now :-)
I have a weird issue with the PayPal express checkout. When I pass in an options[:item][:quantity], I get an error code from PayPal that the transaction in invalid.
#controllers/orders_controller.rb
def express
options = {
:ip => request.remote_ip,
:return_url => new_order_url,
:cancel_return_url => products_url,
:items => current_cart.line_items_hash
}
response = EXPRESS_GATEWAY.setup_purchase(current_cart.build_order.price_in_cents,
options)
redirect_to EXPRESS_GATEWAY.redirect_url_for(response.token)
end
# models/cart.rb
def line_items_hash
self.line_items.map do |line_item|
{
:name => Product.find(line_item.product_id).name
# :quantity => line_item.quantity,
:description => line_item.product.description,
:amount => line_item.gross_price_in_cents}
end
end
So this works fine. The problem is that the correct quantity is not shown on the PayPal order confirmation page. However, if I uncomment the quantity variable in the line_items_hash function the whole thing breaks and I get "invalid transaction from paypal". Any ideas?
Silly old me. Paypal keeps invalidating my transaction because I'm passing bad information. I was setting the amount to line_item total which is already the total of quantity * product.price. So the information that Paypal was receiving is quantity * (quantity * product.price).
Silly little mistake but I managed to catch it in the end.
# models/cart.rb
def line_items_hash
self.line_items.map do |line_item|
{
:name => Product.find(line_item.product_id).name
:quantity => line_item.quantity,
:description => line_item.product.description,
:amount => line_item.price.in_cents}
end
end
I'm using ActiveMerchant with Braintree as my payment processor. I want to take advantage of Braintree's customer vault functionality to store credit card info.
Storage goes fine, but I can't figure out the correct way to charge the credit card with the customer_vault_id. It seems very straight-forward according to the Braintree documentation, but I'm not sure how to pass this through ActiveMerchant. I get validation errors from Braintree if I send a credit card with empty data, and errors from ActiveMerchant if I try nil. The only thing that seems obvious is to send the customer_vault_id in the purchase_options hash, like:
GATEWAY.purchase(self.price_in_cents, self.credit_card,
:ip => self.ip_address,
:customer_vault_id => 12345)
Is this the correct way to use a stored customer vault?
If so, what is the correct second argument for this line if I want to use a stored customer vault as payment method?
Thanks.
I discovered that you can substitute the customer_vault_id as a string for the ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard in the purchase method. The docs really don't have any indication of this :(
After you call #store on the gateway, you will get a response, which you need to store the authorization.
Per the docs found in the wiki: https://github.com/activemerchant/active_merchant/wiki/Patterns-&-Standards
store
It's critical that store returns a token that can be used against purchase and authorize. Currently the standard is to return the token in the Response#authorization field.
payment method
String/token: Representation of a payment method tokenized via store
e.g.
gateway = ActiveMerchant::Billing::BraintreeGateway.new(login: login, password: password)
credit_card = ActiveMerchant::Billing::CreditCard.new(
:first_name => 'Bob',
:last_name => 'Bobsen',
:number => '4242424242424242',
:month => '8',
:year => Time.now.year+1,
:verification_value => '000')
response = gateway.store(credit_card)
