Payment Methods

To pay for things, your users need to have a payment method in the system. They can add it in their purchasing flow, or have it on file as their default_payment_method , which can be updated in the User Object. The default_payment_method will automatically be set to the last payment method used by the user to pay for an order.

Note: Ensure you update the BuiltOn API when your users add or update a payment method. When done directly through outside payment providers, our APIs won’t be notified and the payment will not be processed or tracked in our system.

2019-07-31 - Stripe SetupIntent object

  • Creating a Stripe payment method now needs two requests: 1)POST /payment_methodswith payment_method to ask for an Setup Intent ID. 2)PUT /payment_methods to update the payment method with the Stripe payment method, e.g.: pm_D1as56d14a6

2019-07-24 - SCA Changes

  • token has been replaced by payment_method_id **Until the 14th of September 2019**, you can still use the APIs as you've used so far. After this date, if you keep using the old Stripe Tokens to do your payments, you'll be getting errors from the Banks requiring further authentication and you'll have to upgrade your APIs accordingly to use the new Payment Intent APIs. Go to our SCA section to read more.

Ask for a Setup Intent ID

This request will return you an empty payment method object except for a SetupIntent object, where you will find 3 important fields: id, client_secret and status. On your client you will need both the id and client_secret to generate a Stripe payment method, using the Stripe SDK.
