Full access to response error object

[agentscamp5]

Our company uses Stripe's Radar for Fraud Teams to block certain types of cards from being used for things like setupIntents and paymentIntents (e.g. we are only letting debit cards be used right now, would reject a credit card). Right now in this package if we get an error, we are only provided the localizedDescription of the error object, but I can see from Stripe's API logs that the error object contains way more information. The error message for a card failing by Radar is very generic "Your card was declined", and if we had access to the full error object we could look into it and give more detailed messaging like "We do not accept credit cards".

A feature to have access to the complete response/error object that is returned from the Stripe API for unsuccessful requests would be very helpful.

@arekkubaczkowski looking at your MR, what I meant by the ticket was that the API error response looks like
{
"error": {
"code": "card_declined",
"decline_code": "generic_decline",
"doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/card-declined",
"message": "Your card was declined.",
"payment_method": {
"id": "someId",
"object": "payment_method",
"billing_details": {
"address": {
"city": null,
"country": null,
"line1": null,
"line2": null,
"postal_code": "12312",
"state": null
},
"email": "testEmail,
"name": null,
"phone": null
},
"card": {
"brand": "visa",
"checks": {
"address_line1_check": null,
"address_postal_code_check": null,
"cvc_check": null
},
"country": "US",
"exp_month": 12,
"exp_year": 2031,
"funding": "prepaid",
"generated_from": null,
"last4": "4242",
...

And we would like to access the paymentMethod field form the error because Stripe Radar failures dont give us info like "this failed because the funding type was prepaid, and we want to be able to tell the user that

@agentscamp5 the SDKs do not return that level of information, but in the case of an error you can use retrievePaymentIntent to specifically retrieve it:

Code:

const { error, paymentIntent } = await confirmPayment(clientSecret, {
      type: 'Card',
      billingDetails,
    });

    if (error) {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(error, null, 2));
      const { paymentIntent } = await retrievePaymentIntent(clientSecret);
      console.log(JSON.stringify(paymentIntent, null, 2));
      Alert.alert(`Error code: ${error.code}`, error.message);
      console.log('Payment confirmation error', error.message);
    } else if (paymentIntent) {
      Alert.alert(
        'Success',
        `The payment was confirmed successfully! currency: ${paymentIntent.currency}`
      );
      console.log('Success from promise', paymentIntent);
    }

Result:

// error
{
  "stripeErrorCode": "card_declined",
  "message": "Your card was declined.",
  "declineCode": "generic_decline",
  "type": null,
  "localizedMessage": "Your card was declined.",
  "code": "Failed"
}

// paymentIntent.lastPaymentError

    "message": "Your card was declined.",

@thorsten-stripe THANKS!!!!

[agentscamp5]

@thorsten-stripe would that work for setupIntents as well? We would similarly want to retrieve a setupIntent that failed

[thorsten-stripe]

retrieveSetupIntent is currently not implemented. I've added an issue to track that: #294
