There is an action hook processed just before any successful transaction that can be used to add (for example) a receipt_email to the current charge :
Tha action is ‘direct_stripe_before_success_redirection’
Its parameters are :
- Charge ID – ID of the Charge that was just created with Stripe API
- Post ID – ID of the log created for the current transaction
- Button ID – ID set with the shortcode parameter “button_id”
- User ID – ID of the Stripe User
Here we go :
function my_direct_stripe_action($chargeID, $post_id, $button_id, $user_id) {
// Add the action for a precise button setting a button_id
if( $button_id === '1') {
// Retrieve the user to identify its email address
$user = get_user_by( 'ID', $user_id );
$email_address = $user->user_email;
//Retrieve Stripe Charge and update it
$ch = \Stripe\Charge::retrieve($chargeID);
$ch->receipt_email = $email_address;
$ch->save();
}
}
// Pass the function 'my_direct_stripe_action' through the action with priority 10 and 4 parameters
add_action( 'direct_stripe_before_success_redirection', 'my_direct_stripe_action', 10, 4 );
If you are in a testing environment, stripe don’t send the receipt but you can check in the logs that the charge was updated.
Hi Nico,
first of all, your plugin is great, thank you very much !
I just have a question, when someone that is not logged in on the website makes a purchase the ‘get_user_by’ function will return no information about the user cause it doesn’t exist, so I’m wondering, is there a way to obtain at least the email that was used to make the purchase?
I’m using the Stripe test mode, and I was trying to look at the $ch returned by the following line:
$ch = \Stripe\Charge::retrieve($chargeID);
but it looks like $ch is empty, does it not work in test mode? Am I missing something?
Regards
Hello Jesus,
Thank you for using Direct Stripe.
I realize the example above only works if you save users in the WordPress database and was made before I added an option not to save users to WordPress database…
You can see we get the email address of the user using :
// Retrieve the user to identify its email address
$user = get_user_by( 'ID', $user_id );
$email_address = $user->user_email;
If you’re not saving users to WordPress, convert the code that is within the button ID condition to
//Retrieve Stripe Charge and update it
$ch = \Stripe\Charge::retrieve($chargeID);
//Retrieve the customer
$cu = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve($ch->customer);
$ch->receipt_email = $cu->email;
$ch->save();
That way we get the email address from the customer stored in Stripe.
Kind regards
