Capturing payment manually

    Hi,

    I’m having a small niggling issue, I have the ‘capture charge immediately’ option selected in the gateway within WooCommerce, however, for some odd reason, the payments are not actually being captured in Stripe. I have to go to Payments > Uncaptured and manually capture the payments. This obviously directly contradicts the option ticked.

    WooCommerce version: 4.3.2
    WooCommerce Stripe: Version 4.5.0

    @icecreamdigital that is not a normal behavior for the plugin.

    If you have the plugin set to capture immediately, then you should not have to log into Stripe to do anything with this transaction.

    In order for us to help, please do the following:

    – Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments
    – Enable the debug logging option and click save
    – If logging was already enabled skip the next step
    – Now please place a test order on your site for at least $1
    – Once the order has been placed, go to WooCommerce > Status > Logs
    – Find the Stripe Gateway log for that day and copy it’s contents

    Share the log with us here. If you already had logging enabled, there may be other customer’s orders in that log. In that case you can review the parts of the log that have customer order info and just share the section for your test transaction.

    Also, please share a copy of your system status report. You can get this by going to WooCommerce > Status.

    Hi Phil,

    I solved it by amending the webhook. I had it to all events selected as per the docs, but, I decided to be selective and use only the required. Since doing this it has worked as normal.

    Webhooks aren’t required for capturing credit card payments, as that is done in real-time. For credit card payments the webhook wouldn’t actually do anything except serve as a back-up to notify your site that the payment went through. Additionally, webhooks don’t have an impact on credit card transaction being captured vs authorized.

    So I’m not sure if adjusting that was coincidental or if there is something else impacting these, but that is certainly not normal.

    I’d recommend the following:

    1. First confirm that you are using our official Stripe plugin and that no other Stripe plugins are also installed:

    2. Try temporarily disabling ALL plugins on your site except for WooCommerce and WooCommerce Stripe Gateway. Then try a transaction to see if that has any impact.

    I’m glad that you got this resolved, however what you described is not normal – so I’d like to make sure that we address the root issue.
