Question

In testing mode when I create a new customer and tries for payment, i got this error.

Customer cus_7Zz2BCnybIZLGw does not have a linked card with ID

Answer 1

This is my solution process, and works for me to prevent double payment and finish the proccess, feel free to improve if necesary

1. in stripe form add

2. genRandAlphaNumber is function to create a string to avoid double payment in stripe

   function genRandAlphaNumber($length) {
        $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
        $randomString = '';
        for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
            $randomString .= $characters[rand(0, strlen($characters) - 1)];
        }
        return $randomString;
   }
   

3. In Stripe Post Proccess

    $user = auth()->user();
   
   
    try {
        $cart = new Cart();
        $cart->user_id = $user->id;
        $cart->save();
   
        $description = 'description';
   
        Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));
   
        $idempotency = preg_replace('/[^a-z\d]/im', '', $request->idempotency);
        $stripe_token = $request->stripeToken;
   
        //if user's stripe_token is null, create the user      
        if (!$user->stripe_token) {
            $result = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(
                'name'   => $user->name .' '. $user->name,
                "email"  => $user->email,
                "source" => $stripe_token
            ));
   
            if($result && $result->id) {
                $user->stripe_id = $result->id;
                $user->stripe_token = $stripe_token;
                $user->save();
            }
        }
   
   
        //if user has token
        if($user->stripe_token) {
            // charge customer with your amount
            $result = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(
                "currency"  => 'usd',
                "customer"  => $user->stripe_id,
                "amount"    => $cart->price  * 100,
                "description" => $description
                ),
                ["idempotency_key" => $idempotency,]
            );
   
            Session::flash('success', 'Payment successful!');
   
            $cart->status = 4;
            $cart->save();
   
   
            return redirect()->route('cart.finish', $cart->id);
        }
   
   
   
    } catch (\Exception $ex) {
        if ($ex->getStripeCode() == "idempotency_key_in_use") {
            sleep(2);
            //search last cart
            $cart = Cart::whereUser_id($user->id)->whereStatus(4)->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->first();
            if (!is_null($cart)) {
                Session::flash('success', 'Payment successful!, double payment prevented');
                return redirect()->route('cart.finish', $cart->id);
            }
            return back();
        }
   
        if ($ex->getJsonBody()['error']['type'] == "idempotency_error") {
            $cart = Cart::whereUser_id($user->id)->whereStatus(4)->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->first();
            if (!is_null($cart)) {
                Session::flash('success', 'Payment successful!...');
                return redirect()->route('cart.membership.update', $cart->id);
            }
            return back();
        }
   
        return $ex->getMessage();
    }
