Stripe payment not charging, but it succeeds

[nica0012]

For some reason I am not receiving payments on stripe. They are succeeding but the problem is a charge not being created?

Is anyone else experiencing this? is not, how do i ensure my users are being charged?

Hey Hugo, that's by design - you need to send the encrypted card token to your server and process the payment remotely. Let me know if you have any more questions and I can try to help 😁

The flow should be

1. Show payment request
2. User authenticates with biometric
3. Apple pay shows a loading spinner
4. Capture card token
5. Send card token to server and do intent flow (charge card or save for later)
6. Dismiss payment request with a success or error
7. Apple Pay Dialog stops showing a spinner and closes

There is a 60 second timeout on the apple pay dialog so your server should respond before that.

Great, I've figured it out - cheers!

Amazing @nica0012 ! To help other people coming here later would you mind telling your solution?

In my case I'm using firebase, so I used firebase cloud functions to send the response with the token to their server (cloud functions) to complete the payment there 👌🏼
