I"m struggling with Stripe. I'm using PHP and I'm trying to set up a simple store, with no CMS. Wondering how I can pass the amount into charge.php so I can charge different amounts for different products. Here's my code:
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
'customer' => $customer->id,
'amount' => 1900;,
'currency' => 'gbp'
));
Here's the code from index.php - I would like to charge the customer whatever is in "data-amount" on the form below. Not quite sure how to do so.
<form action="inc/charge.php" method="POST">
<script
src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
data-key="<?php echo $stripe['publishable_key']; ?>"
data-amount="1900"
data-currency="GBP"
data-name="Pure - Tumblr Theme"
data-allow-remember-me="false"
data-description="Premium Tumblr Theme"
data-image="/128x128.png">
</script>
</form>
More comprehensive, go from index.php to charge.php rather than the reverse.
<?php
#set your variables
$amount = 500;
$name = 'My Company';
$currency = 'gbp';
$description = 'Value Plan';
$uid = get->your->uid;
$email = get->your->email;
?>
<center><form action="../charge.php" method="post">
<!-- make these hidden input types for the post action to charge.php -->
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $amount?>">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $name;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="currency" value="<?php echo $currency;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="description" value="<?php echo $description;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="<?php echo $uid;?>">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="<?php echo $email;?>">
<script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
data-key = "<?php echo $stripe['publishable_key']; ?>"
data-amount = "<?php echo $amount;?>"
data-name = "<?php echo $name;?>"
data-currency = "<?php echo $currency;?>"
data-description = "<?php echo $description;?>"
data-email = "<?php echo $user->data()->email; ?>"
data-billing-address = "true"
data-allow-remember-me = "false"
>
</script>
</form></center>
Then in charge.php you can call the input values you hid in index.php
<?php
$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$uid = $_POST['uid'];
$currency = $_POST['currency'];
$amount = $_POST['amount'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
#This is the standard try catch block stripe suggests
try{
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
"amount" => $amount,
"currency" => $currency,
"customer" => $charge_to,
"description" => $description
));
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
$error = $e->getMessage();
// Since it's a decline, Stripe_CardError will be caught
$body = $e->getJsonBody();
$err = $body['error'];
print('Status is:' . $e->getHttpStatus() . "\n");
print('Type is:' . $err['type'] . "\n");
print('Code is:' . $err['code'] . "\n");
// param is '' in this case
print('Param is:' . $err['param'] . "\n");
print('Message is:' . $err['message'] . "\n");
} catch (Stripe_InvalidRequestError $e) {
// Invalid parameters were supplied to Stripe's API
} catch (Stripe_AuthenticationError $e) {
// Authentication with Stripe's API failed
// (maybe you changed API keys recently)
} catch (Stripe_ApiConnectionError $e) {
// Network communication with Stripe failed
} catch (Stripe_Error $e) {
// Display a very generic error to the user, and maybe send
// yourself an email
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Something else happened, completely unrelated to Stripe
}
?>
Why do you want to charge whatever is in data-amount
? Where do you get that value from? data-amount tells Stripe what the user allows you to charge. amount in Stripe_Charge::create is what you actually charge.
You could populate a hidden input field with the same value as data-amount. But i don't know what you would gain by that.
Your PHP skript should calculate the amount to pay. Don't trust the client. He could change the value of data-amount to pay less, i.e. 50.
Using the following the charge would work, but client pays 50 pence instead of 1900.
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
'customer' => $customer->id,
'amount' => $_POST['hidden_amount']
Ask Stripe for the total calculated payment. If the client has messed with data-amount the charge will fail.
'amount' => $shoppingcart->getTotal();,
